This is how much you need to earn to live comfortably in Sweden
Published
A single person in Sweden needs just over 39,000 kronor a month after tax to live comfortably. This is according to a comparison made by the newspaper Metro. The figures concern what is required to have a good standard of living, that is, not just to cover the most common expenses.
The comparison also shows how Sweden stands in relation to other countries in Europe. Because living costs vary greatly between countries, the salary needed for a comfortable everyday life also differs. For many Swedes, housing, food and transport are the largest expenses, and these are what determine how much money is needed each month.
For those who want to know how their own salary compares, the figures can be a useful starting point. However, it is worth keeping in mind that what counts as comfortable can look different for different people, depending on family situation, where one lives and the life choices one makes.
In summary, the article shows that a single Swede needs a relatively high monthly salary to live comfortably. Those who want to compare their own finances with other countries in Europe can use the figures as a basis for their own calculations.
