I don't know Bert, but you can probably assume this is gross salary. Take 70% income tax off that
"You can see that doctors and lawyers are not that much better off than an experienced programmer or pilot. There are no $200,000 incomes for doctors or lawyers in Sweden so if you expect that kind of money, don?t move here.
Despite average wages, cost of living is relatively high, especially in Stockholm. You can still achieve a high rate of savings by avoiding car ownership and living with a partner."
So Bert, you can make it by "avoiding car ownership" and living with a partner! Swedes also get more than a year of paid maternity/paternity leave. So, if your MA inevitably becomes pregnant, your business will be paying her salary for more than a year, in addition to another worker to take her place. Socialism is great for the consumers of resources, bad for the producers.
