Tax for umbrella employees
When you invoice through us, you do not pay tax yourself during the year – we deduct preliminary tax from your salary and pay it to Skatteverket, together with employer contributions.
30 % or your tax table
If you have another main employer, or your salary from us is secondary income, we deduct 30 %. This is also the basic rule for short assignments. If we are your main employer and the assignment lasts at least a week, we can deduct tax according to your tax table – tell us when you request access.
Tax adjustment (jämkning)
If 30 % is too much or too little given your total annual income, you can apply to Skatteverket for a tax adjustment (jämkning). Send us the decision and we will deduct tax accordingly.
Your tax return
Your salary from us is reported to Skatteverket every month and is pre-filled in your tax return. If we have deducted too much, you receive a refund; if we have deducted too little, you will have tax left to pay.
Employer contributions and holiday pay
Employer contributions (31.42 % in 2026) are paid from what you invoice before your gross salary is calculated. 12 % of your gross salary is holiday pay and is paid with every salary. See exactly how it works in our salary calculator.
