The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority has decided the annual percentage adjustments for certain injury annuities (skadelivräntor) for 2026, with the changes applying from 1 January 2026. Injury annuities, which compensate for permanent loss of income due to an injury, are value-adjusted through an index based on changes in Sweden’s price base amount. The applicable adjustment depends on the type of injury annuity, when the event causing the injury occurred, and when the annuity was determined. The indexation information is primarily aimed at payers of injury annuities, including insurance companies and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, but may also be relevant for recipients.
