How we calculate

Assumptions

This result is an estimate for information only and is not financial advice. Check current prices with Trafikverket, Transportstyrelsen and your driving school.

Last updated

  1. Test fees, the photo and the license card are Trafikverket's and Transportstyrelsen's published prices, checked 28 September 2026. Applying for a learner's permit (körkortstillstånd) is free.
  2. Test fees are weekday daytime prices. After 18:00 and at weekends the theory test costs 520 kr and the driving test 1 400 kr.
  3. The car for the driving test defaults to Trafikverket's rental price; a driving school's car usually costs something else.
  4. The vision test, Risk 1, Risk 2 and lessons are estimates of typical prices and vary by provider and city.
  5. Each failed attempt means booking and paying for a new test (and car). The photo and license card are paid once.
  6. Amounts are in Swedish kronor (SEK), rounded to the nearest öre.

How it works

What a B license costs

The calculator adds up what a Swedish B (car) license costs, from the vision test to the license card. The fees to Trafikverket and Transportstyrelsen are their published prices. The vision test, risk courses and lessons are estimated market prices that vary between driving schools and cities.

The steps and what they cost

  1. Vision test at an optician, about 250 kr, and the learner’s permit application, which is free.
  2. Risk 1 (riskettan), about alcohol, drugs and fatigue, about 700 kr.
  3. Risk 2 (risktvåan), the skid pan, about 2 300 kr.
  4. Driving lessons at a driving school, about 800 kr per lesson.
  5. The theory test at Trafikverket, 420 kr on weekdays.
  6. The driving test, 1 000 kr on weekdays, plus a car for the test – 800 kr if you rent Trafikverket’s.
  7. Photo (120 kr) and the license card (375 kr).

If you don’t pass

Each new attempt means booking and paying for a new test – and for the driving test, a new car. The calculator shows what each extra attempt costs. You pay for the photo and license card only once.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How many driving lessons do you need?

It varies a lot. Many combine lessons with private practice with a supervisor, which costs less. The calculator uses the number of lessons you enter – try more to see what it does.

What does it cost to retake the driving test?

Each new attempt costs a new driving test, 1 000 kr, and a new car for the test – for example 800 kr if you rent Trafikverket's. A new theory test costs 420 kr.

Can I take the tests in the evening or at weekends?

Yes, but it costs more. After 18:00 and at weekends, Trafikverket charges 520 kr for the theory test and 1 400 kr for the driving test.

Is practising at home included?

No. The introductory course for you and your supervisor, an extra brake pedal in the car and fuel aren't included.
