Salary statistics at Uppsala University
Salaries are stated in Swedish kronor per month. To minimise the risk of individual employees’ salaries being identified, we do not publish statistics for positions held by fewer than six employees.
The statistics are taken from June 2026 and relate to salaries at the 2025 salary level, that is, salaries before the 2026 salary revision. These statistics remain valid until the 2026 salary revision is concluded, which is expected in December 2026.
