How much does a doctor earn in Sweden per month?

Both of these salaries are quite good in Sweden and allowed her to take care of three children, have a house, go on vacations, etc.
But the salary will very much depend on where in Sweden you work, if you have any specialities or are a general practitioner and so on. If you are coming from the USA, you will probably be disappointed. (But still have a good life here in Sweden)
She was in “private” practice. She didn’t really own the clinic she worked in. Think of it as a franchise.
You would say that she only worked 70–75% instead of full time.
When she was working in the francise, she was making 48,000 SEK per month.
When she worked as a true private practice she made a bit more, around 60,000 SEK per month.
My mother is an eye doctor with a specialty in eye diseases. So in a way a double specialty.
She did change that into a private practice the last ten years.
However, she chose to have a lower salary and more free time. For example, she did not work fridays, and she was always off when the schools where out. So easter vacation, summer vacation, etc.
