FAQs

What are the minimum pension contributions?

The total contribution amount depends on the gross salary of the team member. If the monthly gross salary does not exceed the cap of SEK 44,375, the pension amount will be 4.5% of the gross salary. In case the gross salary exceeds this cap, on the salary amount exceeding the cap 30% will be applied.

Is it an ITP?

We do not have a collective agreement, but we offer a pension plan that looks like a collective agreement ITP1. Only the pension element is set up, there are no additional insurances alongside the pension.

Can we choose a custom rate for pension contributions?

No. Due to the equal treatment principle, the contributions are fixed to a percentage of the gross salary of the team member. The percentages were chosen based on the most common solutions for occupational pension.
