Hidden costs in Sweden

  • Saklig grund is a high bar, 'not working out' is not just cause. Dismissals without documented warnings and performance management almost always lose at Arbetsdomstolen.
  • LIFO turordningsregler for redundancies, you cannot pick who to let go; the rule is last-hired-first-fired within each operational unit unless you negotiate an avtalsturlista with the union.
  • Kollektivavtal coverage is the silent default, even if your EOR doesn't sign one, candidates expect ITP pension, longer notice, and union representation. Offers without it feel substandard.
  • Friskvårdsbidrag (wellness contribution) is tax-free up to SEK 5,000/year but only for activities Skatteverket lists as eligible, gym yes, ski equipment no. Mis-categorising creates a benefit-in-kind tax issue.

Platform fee is under 5% of employment cost, differences between providers are noise. Pick on entity ownership, audit posture, and country-specific expertise instead.

Affiliate & ranking disclosure

We earn a commission when you sign up via the Deploy buttons. This does not change your price. Cards are ranked by lowest total monthly spend first. The "Top match" banner uses a separate heuristic that weighs entity ownership, regional specialisation and contract terms, not commission. Some affiliates (Deel) offer promotional discounts that are not applied to the fees shown. Provider metadata (FX spread, deposit, entity ownership) and tax brackets are sourced from public materials and operator interviews as of November 2026. No EOR publishes an FX spread — all fxSpread values are our best estimates and should be confirmed in writing with the provider before signing.
