In Sweden, about 9% of my salary goes towards healthcare and I pay almost nothing extra for any of my healthcare needs. This 9% also covers things like elderly care and I don't lose this benefit if I lose my job.



How do you get to 9%, I'm also in Sweden but I've never seen a specific breakdown. Genuinely curious.


There is some research done via approximation. I cant find the figures anymore but I remember reading something similar.


We have a max amount of $140 per year for healthcare, if I go above this any further treatment is free.
