Work permit salary threshold (2026)
From 16 June 2026 the SCB median salary is SEK 38,300. The standard requirement is 90% of that: SEK 34,470 per month. Some groups use 75% (SEK 28,725). Pay must also match Swedish collective agreements. Source: Migrationsverket salary requirements.
The threshold lives in data/visa-eligibility.json so it can be updated without a code change when SCB publishes a new median each June.
After you know the pathway, use the personnummer & residency checklist and check whether the job salary clears the bar in the Sweden salary & tax calculator.
