Calculation

The total monthly salary (including any allowances such as commission or OB allowance) that the employer has reported to Omstella forms the basis for the AGE calculation.

For those who started their AGE before October 1, 2025, this calculation applies to find a daily compensation of AGE. 

Monthly Salary x 70% / 21,76 days - 1154 SEK* 

Monthly Salary x 50% / 21,76 days - 1000 SEK* 

* Average unemployment benefit amount from A-Kassan

For those who start their AGE on October 1, 2025, or later, this calculation applies to find a daily compensation of AGE.

Day 1-100:
(Monthly Salary x 70% / 22 days) - 1236 SEK* 
Day 101-130
(Monthly Salary x 70% / 22 days) - 1082 SEK* 
Day 131-200
(Monthly Salary x 50% / 22 days) - 1082 SEK* 
Day 201-390
(Monthly Salary x 50% / 22 days) - 1005 SEK* 

* Average unemployment benefit amount from A-Kassan

Limitation in AGE Amount:

AGE is calculated on salary parts up to and including 1.4 x IBB/month (IBB = Income base amount)

The timing of the layoff determines which year's income base amount is used in calculating the maximum limit for AGE.
