Details
A car that passes several payment stations within 60 minutes is taxed once, at the highest of the amounts. In Stockholm's inner city, by comparison, a passage costs SEK 11 to SEK 45 depending on time and season. Tax is not charged on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, the day before a public holiday or in July.

Tip
Because the cap is SEK 60 per vehicle and day, repeated passages in one day cannot cost more than that for the same vehicle. For the wider daily budget, see how much money you need per day in Sweden.
What may differ
Stockholm uses higher amounts and separate high-season and low-season tables, according to the Swedish Transport Agency.
