Constant prices using CPI. All real amounts use the selected reference year’s prices.
2011-2024Statistics cover eligible full-year households. Nordic income coverage is weaker in 2011–2014. Capital gains are included.
Equivalised disposable income including capital gains. A higher value indicates greater income inequality.
Share of people below 60% of national median equivalised disposable income. A relative measure, not a fixed cost-of-living threshold.
The P90 income threshold divided by P10. Measures the relative distance between higher and lower incomes.
Disposable household income adjusted for household size and composition, including capital gains. People are ranked by equivalised income.
Ten equally sized groups of people ranked by equivalised income. Bars show each group’s share of total income in the selected year. Rounded shares may not sum to 100%.

SCB is the only data provider. Calculations made on this site are explained below.
Real amounts are expressed in 2025 prices using CPI. The year in the tooltip identifies the observation, not the price reference year.
Gini, the at-risk-of-poverty rate and P90/P10 come from TAB1121. Percentile thresholds and decile income shares come from TAB1122. All use equivalised disposable income including capital gains. Each person is assigned their household’s equivalised income. At risk of poverty means below 60% of the national median; it differs from SCB’s low income standard measure. Gini, ratios and shares do not change under a common CPI adjustment. SCB’s revised household definition accounts for children’s shared residence from 2011. We check P50 against SCB’s separately published median.
SCB household and equivalised income amounts are already in constant prices. We retain the source price year with each extract. For source amount F in source-year s prices, nominal income in year t = F × CPI(t) / CPI(s); income in selected-year b prices = F × CPI(b) / CPI(s). Nominal amounts reconstructed from rounded SCB amounts are approximate. Sources report 0.1 thousand SEK precision, so displayed amounts are rounded to hundreds of SEK. Missing inputs remain missing.
Every chart starts with SCB data. Years, units and calculations stay visible throughout. Changes over time do not, by themselves, establish the effects of a particular policy.

Type of income Disposable income is the sum of all taxable and tax-free income minus taxes and negative transfers. Primary income is the sum of income from employment and property income (income from capital, interest receipts and dividends). Income is both including and excluding capital gains/losses, that is, the gain/loss arising from a sale (realization) of assets, for example, stocks, mutual funds or real estate. Incomes are equivalised, which means that the household disposable income is adjusted for household size by using a weight system. The unit of measurement is equivalised disposable income for persons. Upon publication of statistics regarding income year 2021, a modified equivalence scale was introduced. The modified scale includes weights for children with shared residence when the parents do not live together. The modified scale is applied from the year 2011, that is, statistics for the years 2011-2020 have been revised. Gini coefficient The Gini coefficient measures the extent to which the distribution of income within a population deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A coefficient of 0 expresses perfect equality where everyone has the same income, while a coefficient of 1 expresses full inequality where only one person has all the income. At-risk-of-poverty rate The at-risk-of-poverty rate is the share of people with an equivalised disposable income below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold, which is set at 60 % of the national median equivalised disposable income. High economic standard The high economic standard rate is the share of people with an equivalised disposable income higher than 200 % of the national median equivalised disposable income. Relative median at-risk-risk-of-poverty gap The relative median at-risk-of-poverty gap is calculated as the difference between the median equivalised disposable income of people below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold and the at-risk-of-poverty threshold, expressed as a percentage of the at-risk-of-poverty threshold (cut-off point: 60 % of national median equivalised disposable income).
The population is delimited to so-called full-year households, which refers to households where the adults have been registered in Sweden at both the beginning and the end of the year. Read more about the delimitations in the statistics quality declaration on the Statistics Sweden website.
The statistics include salaries and pension income from other Nordic countries from income year 2011. As of the publication of income year 2020, the statistics for the years 2011-2019 have been revised. The extent of the total income from the other Nordic countries varies over time. For the years 2011–2014, data availability is limited, which is largely due to deficiencies in data from Norway. For 2011, there is basically no income from Norway. For the years 2012–2014, the macro amount for Norway is approximately half of the amount for 2015. Further information can be found in the statistics quality declaration on Statistics Sweden website.
The statistics include shared residence for children when the parents do not live together. As of the publication of the income year 2021, the statistics for the years 2011-2020 have been revised. See the report Income Distribution Statistics and Shared Residence for further information.
Statistical methods is used to protect the data of individuals in the statistics presented. For this reason, the presented totals do not always equal the sum of their reported components.
