Qualifying deduction

When you start receiving compensation from the unemployment fund, a qualifying deduction is made. It works like an excess and corresponds to the value of two compensation days.

How the deduction is made

The qualifying deduction is only made when you are unemployed or report income in your monthly application, and it must be completed within one year.

How much is my qualifying deduction?

The deduction corresponds to the value of two compensation days. To calculate it, divide your compensation-based income – stated in your decision – by 22. This gives you the value of one day, and the deduction equals the sum of two such days.

Example

If the compensation-based income is SEK 33,000: 33,000 / 22 = SEK 1,500 per day. Qualifying deduction = 1,500 × 2 = SEK 3,000.
