Equivalised disposable income
Disposable income is the sum of all taxable and tax-free income minus taxes and negative transfers. The income is available both including and excluding capital gains/losses, that is, the gain/loss arising from a sale (realization) of assets, for example, stocks, mutual funds or real estate.

Incomes are equivalised, which means that the household disposable income is adjusted for household size by using a weight system. The unit of measurement is equivalised disposable income for persons.

Upon publication of statistics regarding income year 2021, a modified equivalence scale was introduced. The modified scale includes weights for children with shared residence when the parents do not live together. The modified scale is applied from the year 2011, that is, statistics for the years 2011-2020 have been revised.

The nationwide divisions DeSO (Demographic Statistical Areas) and RegSO (Regional Statistical Areas) apply from 1 January 2018 and 1 June 2020, respectively, and follow the county and municipal borders. RegSO has been created by aggregating DeSO. Further information on DeSO and RegSO can be found on Statistics Sweden´s website.
Between 2014 and 2015, there is a change in the method used to connect people to a specific DeSO. Before 2015, property coordinates were used, while address coordinates is used in 2015 and subsequent years. This means that there will be a minor break in the statistics on DeSO and RegSO between 2014 and 2015.

Update 2021-07-02:
Two RegSOs (regional statistical areas) have new designations. RegSO Dala-Järna, with RegSO code 2021R001, has changed its designation to Vansbro västra landsbygd.
RegSO Vansbro västra landsbygd, with RegSO code 2021R003 has changed its designation to Dala-Järna.
This update applies from 2021-07-02.

The statistics include salaries and pension income from other Nordic countries from income year 2011. As of the publication of income year 2020, the statistics for the years 2011-2019 have been revised.
The extent of the total income from the other Nordic countries varies over time. For the years 2011–2014, data availability is limited, which is largely due to deficiencies in data from Norway. For 2011, there is basically no income from Norway. For the years 2012–2014, the macro amount for Norway is approximately half of the amount for 2015.
Further information can be found in the statistics quality declaration on Statistics Sweden website. The statistics include shared residence for children when the parents do not live together. As of the publication of the income year 2021, the statistics for the years 2011-2020 have been revised. See the report Income Distribution Statistics and Shared Residence for further information.
