Pensionsmyndigheten. Women's average total pension stands at 74 per cent of men's for 2024
Pensionsmyndigheten, up from 73 per cent in the previous version
Pensionsmyndigheten. The 2024 series rests on declared income data and therefore carries a two-year lag; the preliminary 2025 set (25 100 kronor overall per month) stands alongside it unchanged. The preliminary 2025 women's share likewise stands at 74 per cent.
The definition of what counts changed too. Allmän pension now comprises inkomstpension, premiepension, tilläggspension, inkomstpensionstillägg and garantipensionPensionsmyndigheten, with the income pension supplement new in the enumeration
Pensionsmyndigheten. The basic-protection (grundskydd) definition notes that inkomstpensionstillägg is sometimes counted as part of grundskydd alongside garantipension, bostadstillägg and äldreförsörjningsstöd. The measurement definitions were updated to match: the pensioner count and the average public-pension measure now include inkomstpensionstillägg payouts.
Two statistics appear for the first time. In July 2026, 1 195 200 pensioners received inkomstpensionstilläggPensionsmyndigheten, and for 2024 the agency counted 263 000 jobbonärer
Pensionsmyndigheten: people combining pension-qualifying earned income with a public-pension payout in the same year. Pensioner counts are reported for December each year because many pensioners receive a payout only once a year in December, so a count taken in any other month understates the total. For scale, in July 2026 the same compilation counted 1 111 000 pensioners with garantipension, 295 200 with bostadstillägg and 27 382 with äldreförsörjningsstöd. In premium-pension figures, 378 funds were active in June 2026, one more than before, and 18 800 people transferred their premium pension rights to a spouse or registered partner in 2025, up from 17 900 for 2023 in the previous version; that series likewise runs on declared data with a two-year lag.
Figures are Pensionsmyndigheten's Korta pensionsfakta statistics compilation, with the 2024 series based on declared income data.
