Fixed costs in Gothenburg

What a household in Gothenburg pays every month, no matter what. Rent and groceries you enter yourself — nobody knows them better than you. Everything else follows rules, and this page does the maths: preschool fees, public transport, the caps on healthcare costs.

Per month

    Yearly caps

      Check the decision letter: the municipality calculates the fee itself, from the income you report to it. This page follows the rules — what counts is the decision.

      What this page can’t do: work out your take-home pay. That depends on tax allowances, the job tax credit and when in the year you arrive — too many moving parts for a calculator that wants to stay honest.

      Amounts as of .
