    How it is calculated

    Taxable pay = pocket money + lodging benefit + meals benefit. Tax is withheld from the cash pay only. Employer fees: 31.42% standard; 20.81% for au pairs born 2003–2007 on pay made 1 April 2026–30 September 2027; 0% with an A1 certificate. No employer fees are due if total pay to the au pair is below SEK 10,000 for the year. Board and lodging are real costs on top and are not included.
