Invoice without your own company

With Pay2me's simple platform, you as a private individual can invoice for your assignments. We handle taxes, employer contributions, and VAT. As soon as your customer has paid the invoice, you will receive the remuneration as salary.

ROT and RUT deductions

When you perform household services, you can invoice with ROT and RUT deductions through Pay2me. We handle the reporting to the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) so the assignment becomes cheaper for your customer while you still receive your full amount.

Insurance coverage for you as a self-employed professional (umbrella employee) in Sweden

While you perform work through Pay2me, you are covered by Pay2me’s business insurance policies in the same way as if you were employed by any other company. Today, this includes, among other things, occupational injury protection via Fora for workplace accidents, commuting accidents, and occupational diseases.

We avoid describing insurance coverage as “comprehensive.” Our umbrella employees work in many different professions and under very different conditions. Which insurance coverage applies in an individual situation therefore always depends on the task, the circumstances, and the insurance terms and conditions, and the final assessment is made by the insurance company.

Certain assignments may involve particular risks or responsibilities that require more extensive or specially adapted insurance coverage. If, for example, your assignment involves unusual or risky work elements, work abroad, or a specific professional liability, we therefore recommend that you, before the assignment begins, ensure together with the client that the correct insurance coverage is in place for the specific work to be performed.

For us, security is not about promising that every conceivable situation is insured. It is about being clear about what protection is available. And when additional protection may be needed.

All insurance cover follows Swedish collective and statutory frameworks (e.g. Fora), and applies to work in Sweden unless otherwise agreed.

About Pay2me

About Pay2me

Pay2me is a Swedish umbrella employment company for those who want to get paid for their work without having to start and administer their own business.

The service was launched in 2018 with the ambition of making it easier for people to work on their own terms – whether it's a single assignment, a side venture, or a more established freelance career. Since then, thousands of people have chosen Pay2me to invoice their assignments and receive payment as salary.

Our role is greater than just sending an invoice. When you perform an assignment as an umbrella employee through Pay2me, we are your employer during the assignment. We invoice your customer and handle VAT, employer contributions, tax deductions, payroll administration, and reporting to authorities. Once the customer has paid the invoice, you receive your payment as a salary.

From the outset, we have placed great importance on the service being easy to understand and easy to use. That's why we have built a digital platform where you can quickly create invoices, manage expenses, use different VAT rates, ROT and RUT, co-invoice with others, and track your invoices and salaries – all while having real people to contact when you need help.

For us, good umbrella employment is about simplicity, clarity, and responsibility. We want you to understand what the service costs, what Pay2me is responsible for, and what happens to the money from when you send the invoice until the salary is in your account.

You should be able to focus on the work you're good at. We'll take care of what happens behind the invoice.
