Management consultant starting salary

Statistics Sweden publishes no starting-salary figures. The closest proxies are what the youngest people in the job earn and where the lower end of the pay distribution sits.

The youngest in the job, aged 18–24, earn 39,200 SEK a month on average — roughly 31,200 SEK after tax in an average municipality.

Starting-salary proxies, before and after tax

Lowest 10% earn less than 40,000 SEK 31,798 SEK
Lowest 25% earn less than 46,200 SEK 35,972 SEK

These are proxies, not starting salaries. An age band holds both people who have just started and people ten years into the job, and the lowest paid are not always newcomers. The collective-agreement minimum and an individual offer can sit above or below.
