Registration takes a few minutes. Create an account, fill in the basics and send your first invoice the same day.

Self-employment means you work as a private person but invoice through WorkNode as your formal employer. We handle tax, contributions and administration.
Do I need F-tax?

How is WorkNode different from Frilans Finans or Cool Company?
WorkNode offers FLEX (3.95% per invoice) or PRO (from SEK 995/mo fixed). Frilans Finans takes about 6.00% and Cool Company about 5.98% per invoice — with regular invoicing PRO is often cheaper.
How does tax work when I invoice without a company?
WorkNode pays employer contributions and preliminary tax before salary is paid. You are paid as an employee on the assignment and do not file VAT or declare business income yourself.
Insurance and security
Am I insured through WorkNode?
Insurance via If applies when the assignment is registered and approved in WorkNode. Terms and exceptions are on the insurance pages.
What happens if the client does not pay?
We send a reminder and a debt-collection claim. If payment is still missing, the case can be pursued with support from WorkNode.
Are sick pay and occupational pension included?
Yes. WorkNode handles salary under the collective agreement and pays pension according to the terms that apply to the assignment. Sick pay follows Swedish rules when the assignment terms are met.
How does unemployment benefit work?
Self-employment can affect unemployment benefit differently depending on your situation and your fund’s assessment. Always check with your fund before taking assignments if the benefit matters to you.

What is the difference between FLEX and PRO?
FLEX costs 3.95% per invoice with no fixed costs. PRO is from SEK 995/mo with a 0% invoice fee. The economic break-even is about SEK 25,000 invoiced per month on the 12-month plan. Calculate your amount here.
How fast do I get my salary?
When the client has paid the invoice, your salary is normally paid within 1–2 banking days.
When does PRO pay off compared with FLEX?
When you invoice about SEK 25,000 a month, PRO at from SEK 995/mo is lower than FLEX at 3.95% on the 12-month plan. The 6-month price is higher. Also compare months without invoicing, because PRO has a 6 or 12-month commitment.

Yes. You can start on FLEX with no commitment and move to PRO when invoicing becomes regular. PRO has a 6 or 12-month commitment and a 14-day cooling-off period from the order.
