PhD soon ends
Hi,
I have 5 months to finish my PhD studies, but since I've not been informed about a-kassa and I will probably be unemployed by september, I don't know what to do after my phd ends. Here it says that the maximum benefit you can get if you haven't been a member for over 12 months, is 365 kr/day, which is 7300 per month before taxes. This is quite little money to live on during a month, and I'm not sure how much it will be after paying taxes.
Is this my only option? In that case, how much is it after taxes?
Best regards

It is a pity that you didn't know about a-kassa until now. If one has been a member of a-kassan shorter than 12 months it is 365 kronor at a maximum one can get when unemployed. To get that amount one must have worked full time för 12 months.
The tax depends on what municipality one lives in, but it is about 30 percent.
But it could be a good idea to become a member of a-kassan now. You don't now for sure that you are going to become unemployed, and if you get another job for 7 months you fulfil the requirements for benefit. Apply for membership here. The fee is 110 kronor per month.
If you are a member with us, we can help you to get your benefit even if you haven't been a member a full year.
Best regards
