What is the RUT Deduction?
If you're new to Sweden, you might be surprised to hear that the government offers generous tax deductions for household services like home cleaning. This is known as the RUT deduction (”RUT-avdrag” in Swedish), and it's designed to make it easier and more affordable for households to get help with everyday tasks.
How the RUT Deduction Makes Home Cleaning in Sweden More Affordable
The RUT deduction allows you to claim 50% off the labour cost of services such as home cleaning, babysitting, gardening, and moving assistance. It's not a discount you have to apply for afterward - it's built directly into the invoice, reducing the price you pay upfront.
Each adult in a household can claim up to 75,000 SEK per year in RUT deductions (as of 2025). That means couples can combine their deductions for even greater savings. It's one of the many ways Sweden encourages balance between work, family, and personal life.
Eligible services include regular home cleaning, deep cleaning, window cleaning, and similar household tasks performed at or near your home. If you're living and working in Sweden, and you pay taxes here, you are most likely entitled to benefit from the RUT deduction.

Understanding RUT and Skatteverket as an Expat in Sweden
In Sweden, many household services are supported by a government-backed tax benefit called RUT. This initiative is managed by The Swedish Tax Agency, the Swedish Tax Agency, and it can make a noticeable difference in your monthly expenses.
If you're new to Sweden, navigating taxes and deductions can feel overwhelming - but RUT is one of the most straightforward ways to save money on everyday services. As long as you're registered in Sweden and pay taxes here, you're likely eligible.
Whether you're hiring a cleaner, a nanny, or a tutor, the deduction is processed through Skatteverket, but reputable service providers often handle the entire process for you. That means less paperwork and more convenience.
