It's not about me! Jan 13, 2013

SEK258 less tax at roughly 32% plus social fees at 25% (they're actually 29% but I'm taking in to account that this is only deducted from profits and that you do get to make a 25% deduction before applying the fees) = SEK111.



That's not quite the right way to calculate the net. The social fees are 28 % of the gross (pre income tax) pay.

SEK 258 / 1.28 X 0.7 = SEK 140 = GBP 13.5 = EUR 16 per hour after tax

It's not really about how much I earn personally. I just assumed that perhaps people in Southern Europe are OK with USD 40 per hour. The topic starter has even listed EUR 20-25 as his hourly rate!
