I just got my master's degree in Sweden, and have been living of (really cheap) state loans since 2016, so this is not representative of what kind of money I have had available for these years, rather how much income I've reported to the Swedish IRS. I also just moved to Norway (which gave me higher salary) and started working for a government agency (which is a con salary-wise, but a fantastic work environment).
2017: $2k
2018: $3k
2019: $7k
2020: $23k
2021: $37k
2022: >$55k
- randomopining 5y agoWhat's the usual effective tax rate in the Nordics? And a salary for an avg senior dev?
- widforss 5y agoI currently pay a flat 25 %, but depending on your situation the effective tax rate can be up to 47 %. I don't have the statistics, but I guess the average senior dev in the private sector would get around $75-85k in Norway and a little bit less in Sweden.
