How Fordonsskatt (vehicle tax) in Sweden is calculated

Sweden's fordonsskatt applies a higher malus to new petrol and diesel cars in their first three years, based on CO2 per km, then drops to a lower standard rate.

Diesels carry an environmental factor and fuel supplement. The calculator uses an illustrative malus-era CO2 table. Estimate, not tax advice.
