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.
Total earned income covers women and men aged 20–64 registered throughout the year, all income brackets. It includes wages, business income, pensions and taxable benefits. National means and medians come directly from TAB3554; percentile thresholds from TAB6313. Disposable household income from TAB1492 covers all household types with a reference person aged 18+ and includes capital gains. The reference person is the adult with the highest earned income. Household amounts are not individual take-home wages. Amounts are annual.
Real amount in year t = nominal amount in year t × annual average CPI in the reference year / annual average CPI in year t. CPI comes from TAB4352 (1980=100); the reference year can be selected independently of the chart period. CPI adjustment measures purchasing power against consumer prices, not the volume of public services. No extrapolation beyond source coverage is performed.
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.

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 population consists of people who have been registered in Sweden both 1 January and 31 December of each year and who are part of a household with disposable household income different from zero (0) SEK. As of 2021, people with no information on which household they belong to are also excluded if their disposable family income is zero (0) SEK. This change is also applied retroactively back to 2011, and means that an additional 3 000–4 000 people per year are excluded from the reporting, which can be assumed to be overcoverage in the Total Population Register.
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. See also section 2.2.6 Model assumptions in the quality declaration documentation on Statistics Sweden’s website.
Revision was made on January 30, 2015 for the years 2003-2012. The Income Register has been updated for these years.

Disposable income is the sum of all taxable and tax-free income minus taxes and negative transfers. The income includes gains/losses, that is, the gain/loss arising from a sale (realization) of assets, for example, stocks, mutual funds or real estate.
Type of household gives the composition of the household and is broken down into Single (including Living alone), Cohabiting and Other household, all with or without children.
The Percentage of all refers to the mean and median value for different groups reported as the value in relation to the mean och median value of the whole population (at the national level). For example, 126% means that a certain group has a disposable income that is 26 percent higher than the value of the whole population and 83% means that the income is 17 percent lower than the value of the whole population.
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. 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.
Age refers to the reference person in the household. Reference person is defined as the adult in the household with the highest total earned income.

Type of income Total earned income is the sum of taxable income from employment, business income, pensions, sickness benefit and other taxable transfers. Capital income is not included in total earned income. Net income is the sum of all taxable and non-taxable income less taxes and other negative transfers (such as repaid study loans). Net income is presented 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.
