Wellness allowance in Kungsholmen
Do you have a wellness allowance from work? Then you can use it with us. Several of the treatments at Tota Estetiska Klinik in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, qualify for the Swedish wellness allowance, which means you can pay with your friskvårdsbidrag and let your employer cover all or part of the cost.
Massage and cupping are not only pleasant relaxation, they are recovery for a body that sits a lot, trains hard or carries everyday tension. And when work helps pay, there is no reason to wait. Here we go through which treatments qualify, how you use the allowance, and how you book.
What is the Swedish wellness allowance?
The wellness allowance, friskvårdsbidrag, is a tax-free benefit many Swedish employers offer their staff, intended for exercise and other simple wellness. The Swedish Tax Agency counts massage, acupressure, chiropractic and similar treatments as wellness, which means they can be paid for with the allowance.
The amount varies between employers, often somewhere between SEK 2,000 and 5,000 a year, and any unused allowance usually disappears at the turn of the year. Many people simply forget to use it. If you have an allowance you have not touched, a qualifying treatment with us is a good way to make use of it before it expires.
Our treatments that qualify

Wellness as a habit, not a luxury
The good thing about the wellness allowance is that it makes regular recovery possible without weighing on your own wallet. A tense neck, stiff shoulders and tired skin rarely improve from a single treatment; it is the regularity that makes the difference.
By booking a wellness treatment once a month, paid with the allowance, you build a routine the body notices. Think of it as maintenance: you service the car, you should service yourself too. And when the clinic is in Kungsholmen, close to work or home, it becomes easy to actually go.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about the wellness allowance in Kungsholmen
Which of your treatments qualify for the wellness allowance?
Our massage treatments: facial massage, face lift massage (lifting facial massage) and cupping massage for neck and back. Massage and cupping count as wellness under Swedish tax rules. Other treatments such as facials, laser and waxing do not qualify, since they count as beauty care rather than exercise and recovery.
How much wellness allowance do I have?
Your employer decides, and the amount varies, often between SEK 2,000 and 5,000 a year. Ask your HR or payroll department what applies where you work, and remember that unused allowance often disappears at the turn of the year.
How do I pay with the wellness allowance?
The most common way is that you pay for the treatment yourself and are then reimbursed by your employer against a receipt, which you upload in their wellness portal. Some employers use the Bokadirekt wellness card, which you can pay with directly. Always keep the receipt from your booking.
Can I use the wellness allowance on facials or waxing?
No, unfortunately. The Swedish Tax Agency counts only certain treatments as wellness, above all massage and similar recovery. Facials, skincare, laser and waxing count as beauty care and are not covered, however much your skin may need them.
Do I have to be employed to have a wellness allowance?
The wellness allowance is an employer benefit, so it applies to employees whose employer offers it. If you are self-employed, other rules apply; a sole trader, for example, does not have the same possibility as employees of a limited company. If you are unsure, check with your employer or accountant.
Can I book several treatments on the same allowance?
Yes, as long as you have allowance left for the year you can use it for several treatments. Many people set up a rhythm with one wellness treatment a month. Book a package with a selected treatment and you get a reduced price on top.
Use the wellness allowance before it disappears, your body deserves it. Book your qualifying treatment in Kungsholmen today.
