Minimum Wage in Sweden

Sweden has no statutory minimum wage. Minimum pay is agreed between unions and employers in collective agreements for each sector.

Who is covered

No legal minimum

Around 90% of employees are covered by a collective agreement. Employers without one are not bound by a legal minimum, but unions can take action to get one signed.

Next change

No statutory minimum is planned. Most agreements were renegotiated in 2025 for two years.
