How Sundsvall uses municipal funds

Net costs, net income and equity ratio are actual outcomes (accounts) for 2025 from the municipality's financial statements, reported by Statistics Sweden via Kolada — not budget and not a model estimate. The tax rate is the rate decided for the year.

Expenditure by activity

Actual net cost per inhabitant in 2025, from the municipal accounts. All displayed activities use the same period and unit. This is a verified selection, not a complete budget, and the bars must not be added together as total expenditure. Net cost = gross cost minus income for the activity.

Source: Statistics Sweden's Municipal Accounts via Kolada. Each activity name links to its exact Kolada table. 10 of 10 verified categories are available for the common period. A negative net cost means that reported income exceeded gross cost for that activity.
