    How to use the range

    The lower quartile is 38,400 SEK and the upper quartile is 48,100 SEK per month. Role scope, sector, experience, location and working hours can all move an individual offer away from the group median.

    Prepare for a salary discussion

    • Compare the responsibilities in the offer with the actual role, not only the title.
    • Bring two or three results that show the level at which you already operate.
    • Check pension, overtime, working hours and other contract terms alongside base salary.
