Office hours: 

Annual Working Time: 

Specified in days, not hours.

If working 5 days a week, the annual working time is 260 days.

If working fewer than 5 days a week, the annual working time is the number of worked days multiplied by 52 weeks.

Example: 3 working days a week = 3 * 52 = 156 days as annual working time.

Weekly Working Time: 

Full-time: Your weekly working time is 39 hours and 10 minutes (39.17 in decimal).

Part-time: Multiply your employment percentage by the full-time measure in decimal:

Example: working 80%

80% * 39.17 = 31.34 in decimal. This corresponds to 31 hours and 21 minutes.

See the conversion table at the bottom of the page to calculate what this corresponds to in minutes. Round up to the nearest hundredth.

Hours per Day: 

Full-time: 7 hours and 50 minutes (7.83 in decimal).

List Agreement: 

If you work on a list, you must contact a payroll specialist to get your annual working time, weekly working time, and hours per day.

An average needs to be calculated based on your schedule. It depends on your schedule period and the number of days worked during that period. This needs to be calculated manually.

Do you keep more than 10% of your salary? 

To the question from Försäkringskassan, if you keep more than 10% of your salary when you receive sickness benefit, you answer no.

From day 15 to day 365, the employer pays a 10% sickness benefit supplement on salary parts up to the base amount ceiling and 87.60% on salary parts above the base amount ceiling. From day 366, a sickness benefit supplement is paid on salary parts above the base amount ceiling. This is not counted as salary but as a supplement.
