As a member of Unionen Egenföretagare (Self-employed) you pay two fees: a membership fee and a service charge. You pay the membership fee for the personal parts of your membership, and your company pays the service fee for the services and benefits it derives use from. There are discounts for brand-new members of Unionen and for all those who have start-up grants.
| Membership fee | Service charge |
| SEK 125/month | SEK 200/month excl. VAT (from 1 July 2019) |
Those who have switched membership from regular Unionen membership to Unionen Egenföretagare membership pay the ordinary fee from the first month. The membership period from your previous membership is taken into account, allowing you to keep your qualifying period for income protection insurance and grants for skills development.
When you are a brand-new member and have had your company for longer than 12 months, we waive the membership fee for the first three months.
| Month | Membership fee | Service charge |
| 1-3 | SEK 0 | SEK 0 |
| 4-12 | SEK 125/month | SEK 200/month excl. VAT (from 1 July 2019) |
| 13 - | SEK 125/month | SEK 200/month excl. VAT (from 1 July 2019) |
If you are a brand-new member and have started your business within the last 12 months – or not yet started your business – you will receive a New Business Discount. This means that we waive the membership fee for the first three months. You then get a discount on the service charge for the rest of the first year.
| Month | Membership fee | Service charge |
| 1 - 3 | SEK 0 | SEK 0 |
| 4 - 12 | SEK 125/month | SEK 64/month excl. VAT |
| 13 - | SEK 125/month | SEK 200/month excl. VAT (from 1 July 2019) |
When you come straight from a Unionen Student membership and become a Unionen Egenföretagare member, you receive a discount on both the membership fee and the service charge for the first twelve months.
| Month | Membership fee | Service charge |
| 1 - 3 | SEK 100* | SEK 0 |
| 4 - 12 | SEK 0/month | SEK 64/month excl. VAT |
| 13 - | SEK 125/month | SEK 200 month excl. VAT (from 1 July 2019) |

When you have been granted a start-up grant, the company does not have to pay the service charge during that period. The membership fee, SEK 125/month, is paid as usual during the same period.
The start-up grant is an activity grant paid out by Försäkringskassan (the Social Insurance Agency) that those who are in the start-up phase of a business may be entitled to.
You can pay the membership fee via direct debit, e-invoice or bankgiro.
More on how to pay the membership fee
There is one service charge per company. This means that even if several partners are members, only one service charge is paid. Please note that the service charge is deductible. Unionen Egenföretagare has the bankgiro number 5071-6018. Please note that from 1 July 2019, we will charge SEK 50 for each paper invoice for the service charge sent out.

Member of Teaterförbundet
If you are a member of Teaterförbundet (the Swedish Union for Performing Arts and Film) you can become a double member of Unionen Egenföretagare. You then only have to pay a union fee to Unionen, as well as a service charge to Unionen Egenföretagare. Teaterförbundet and Unionen then share the fees.
