How much does it really cost to live in Sweden in 2026? 🇸🇪

In this video, I break down the real cost of living in Sweden, including salaries, taxes, rent, transportation, food, and leisure, using updated numbers and real examples so you can understand how much money you actually keep at the end of the month.

We explain the difference between gross vs net salary in Sweden, how income taxes (29%–35%) work, additional taxes like VAT, and what you get in return, such as public healthcare, education, and parental benefits.

We also cover the housing market in Sweden, comparing municipal (first-hand) rentals vs private (second-hand) rentals, real apartment and house prices, utility costs, and the public transportation system in Stockholm, including monthly passes and discounts.

This video is perfect if you’re thinking about living, working, or moving to Sweden, or if you want to know whether high Swedish salaries really match the cost of living.
