What? 45k USD / year amounts to 40,000 SEK per month. A Swede would receive 30,000 SEK after tax on that. The tax percentage mentioned often includes employer's fees, something that ISN'T taxed on the employee's salary.
She pays about 11,000 SEK per month for her apartment. Groceries are 2,000 to 5,000 SEK with 5,000 being relatively high. I've managed 3-4k for most of my life. Less than 2k as a student.
So she has maybe 15,000 SEK left after rent and groceries. Add maybe 2-5k on top of that for various services, public transport, insurance, phone, whatever. Still leaves her with 10,000 SEK, which is a decent amount to save or use for entertainment or whatever.
Additionally, we have both allmän pension which is state funded, and often occupational pension, so retirement is in some sense covered.
If you want examples of what you net for various salaries, you can use this to get an estimate (that is very accurate, within a few 100 SEK). https://rakna.net/berakna/lon-efter-skatt/
The fields from top to bottom are Fiscal Year, Monthly Salary in SEK, what kommun you reside in (approximately equivalent to County), and if you're a member of the church of Sweden (which adds a tiny amount on top of the tax).
Beräkna means calculate, and the result pops up with details below that.
