Peach Salary — self-employment without your own company

With Peach Salary, you do not need to start a company to get paid for your activities. Peach employs you through self-employment, handles tax and employer contributions, and pays out your salary every month.

You focus on what you love — we take care of the paperwork.

How it works

Peach Salary is a self-employment solution. This means that Peach is formally your employer and is responsible for:

  • Deducting VAT from your sales
  • Paying employer contributions (~31.42%, lower if you are under 26 or over 65)
  • Deducting preliminary tax (30% standard rate)
  • Paying out the remainder as salary to you

The Peach Salary fee is 0% — completely free. There used to be a fee, but it has been removed.

Important: Peach Salary must be activated before your first payment comes in. Forgot? Contact support and they can help you retroactively.

Step by step

Here is how to activate Peach Salary:

  1. Open the app and go to Payout options
  2. Fill in your personal identity number
  3. Select Salary payouts
  4. Tap Activate

Once that is done, everything is handled automatically. You do not need to do anything more each month.

Payout and pay slip

  • Payouts are made around the 15th of each month
  • You receive a pay slip showing your sales, fees, and tax deductions
  • Peach reports your income to the Swedish Tax Agency — it appears automatically in your annual tax return

When it is time to file your tax return, in most cases you just need to approve it. Simple.

Deductions for costs

You can deduct consumables and costs that are directly related to your activities:

  • Venue/rental for the space where you hold the activity
  • Refreshments and snacks for participants
  • Rented equipment (e.g. sound system)

You cannot deduct inventory such as yoga mats, furniture, or other equipment you own.

Here is how:

  1. Take a photo of the receipt
  2. Send it to team@peach.nu
  3. Make sure it arrives by the 5th of the month

The deduction will then appear on your next pay slip.
