The a‑kassa for engineers

Engineers in Sweden rely on a‑kassa to protect their income if they become unemployed. Akademikernas a‑kassa is the clear choice for engineers who want affordable, reliable financial security. For just 140 SEK per month, you get essential income protection — and by combining your membership with Sveriges ingenjörer, you can receive up to 80% of your full salary during unemployment. A‑kassa is voluntary in Sweden, so applying for membership is one of the smartest steps you can take to safeguard your career and financial stability.

A‑kassa – your most important financial safety net

A‑kassa gives you crucial income protection if you become unemployed. Whether it’s rent, groceries or your mobile bill, your everyday costs don’t stop just because your job does. With us, you get fast service, help with your application, and dependable payments when you need them most.

In Sweden, a‑kassa is voluntary. You must actively apply for membership, as it is not automatically included like health insurance or parental benefits. Joining an a‑kassa is therefore one of the smartest steps you can take to secure your income.
