How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.
For a 1-week mid-range stay in Sweden, a traveler should budget around 15,000–20,000 SEK (approximately 1,350–1,800 USD). This estimate covers comfortable accommodations and daily expenses. Here’s a breakdown of typical daily costs in Swedish Krona (SEK) to help you plan your getaway:
Overall, Sweden tends to be on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an expensive destination compared to both the United States and the UK. For context, dining out and public transport in Sweden generally costs 20–30% more than in the US and 10–15% more than in the UK, though travelers can still find value by seeking out local eateries and transport discounts.
For expats, typical monthly living costs in Sweden can vary widely, but most should expect to spend roughly 25,000–35,000 SEK (approximately 2,250–3,150 USD) when accounting for rent, groceries, utilities, and leisure activities. Renting a one-bedroom apartment in the city center averages around 13,000 SEK.
When it comes to banking and handling money, it’s advisable to use a local bank for day-to-day transactions, as larger establishments generally offer reasonable credit card acceptance, including mobile banking options like Swish. For sending and receiving money, digital services like Wise and OFX can provide better exchange rates and lower fees compared to traditional banks; thus, expats may find it more cost-effective to use these services for international transfers. While local currency exchange at banks or kiosks is feasible, utilizing online platforms is often a more economical option.
