Housing allowance for young people without children (bostadsbidrag)
Help with housing costs if you are 18–28 and have no children.
Quick check: does this apply to you?
Answer yes or no on each line. Nothing is saved.
- You are between 18 and 28
- You have no children living with you
- You have a low income, for example as a student
What affects the decision
- Your income over the year
- What your home costs and how big it is
What to do
- Read the rules and current amounts at Försäkringskassan.
- Estimate your yearly income before tax, including study grants, and get your rental contract.
- Apply in Försäkringskassan’s e-service. You log in with e-identification at the authority, never at Rättkoll.
- You get a decision. If your situation changes, you usually need to report it.
Give correct information. From 1 July 2026, Försäkringskassan charges a sanction fee if you were overpaid because you gave incorrect information or did not report a change: 25 percent of the incorrect amount, at least 2,368 SEK.
