Just moved back to Sweden from the US and was surprised to see my income tax go down by 4-5%. I feared I had to take a pay cut by 25-30%, but with the lower income tax and 25% pension, I'm actually slightly better off now. The levelling difference is the 25% sales tax on pretty much everything except food and books.
