This page tracks median monthly salary of journalists and related professionals (SSYK 2012 2642) in Sweden. Monthly salary is basic pay plus fixed and variable supplements and benefits, converted to full-time and excluding overtime, measured in September (private sector and central government) and November (municipalities and regions) across all sectors and both sexes. From 2023 the survey covers employees aged 18–68 rather than 18–66, and SCB advises caution when comparing occupations common in municipalities and regions across 2018, when their occupation coding was revised.

Data sourced from Statistics Sweden (SCB) via its PxWeb API. These figures use Sweden's occupation classification and are not harmonised with other countries' salary statistics. Compare them within Sweden over time rather than across borders.
