Income details <strong>and</strong> schedules<br />
Since the fee is calculated on the household’s current income before tax, it is<br />
important that the correct income is registered. You must also provide details of<br />
your husb<strong>and</strong>’s/wife’s/cohabitant’s income.<br />
You enter a schedule on the e-service for the time that the child attends pre-<strong>school</strong><br />
or <strong>pedagogic</strong> <strong>care</strong>. Changes to schedules must be notified at the latest by the last<br />
day of the month before the month when the change is desired, but at least two<br />
weeks before the change is to apply.<br />
What happens if incorrect income details are registered?<br />
If the income figure is too low, the difference will be invoiced. The wrong amount<br />
may be invoiced if the schedule is not changed in time.<br />
What happens if an incorrect schedule is registered?<br />
If there is no schedule, full attendance time is registered. If the schedule is not<br />
changed in time, you will pay the wrong fee.<br />

Check of income details<br />
Once a year, households’ incomes as registered with the Swedish Tax Agency are<br />
compared with the incomes they have registered with the Education Department.<br />
If you have paid too much you will be reimbursed <strong>and</strong> if you have paid too little<br />
you will receive an additional invoice.<br />
7
What does a place cost?<br />
The e-service allows you to calculate how much your place costs.<br />
<strong>Enköping</strong> Municipality uses a maximum fees in child-<strong>care</strong> system. Maximum<br />
fees in child-<strong>care</strong> means that there is a ceiling for how high a fee is paid for a<br />
child. You pay a certain percentage of the household’s combined annual income.<br />
The fee does not change according to the number of hours your child attends<br />
pre-<strong>school</strong>.<br />
The maximum fee for a place is 1,260 kronor, i.e. 3% of a maximum gross annual<br />
income of 42,000 kronor.<br />
Payment-free month<br />
There is no payment-free month. You pay the same fee for twelve months every<br />
year. There is no deduction if your child is ill.<br />

Regular pre-<strong>school</strong> for<br />
children aged 3-5<br />
Regular pre-<strong>school</strong> is offered to all children aged between 3 <strong>and</strong> 5. The aim of<br />
regular pre-<strong>school</strong> is to stimulate the children <strong>and</strong> promote community with other<br />
children. Children may attend regular pre-<strong>school</strong> from the autumn term of the year<br />
they reach the age of 3.<br />
Number of hours free of charge<br />
Regular pre-<strong>school</strong> comprises 525 hours a year <strong>and</strong> has the same <strong>school</strong> year as<br />
the 9-year compulsory <strong>school</strong>. This is equivalent to 15 hours a week <strong>and</strong> no fee is<br />
charged for these hours.<br />
Number of additional hours<br />
If your child attends pre-<strong>school</strong> or a <strong>pedagogic</strong> <strong>care</strong> unit for more than 15 hours,<br />
this counts as a place <strong>and</strong> the normal fee is charged with a reduction of 22.5%.<br />
Fee<br />
You pay the same fee for twelve months every year. This means that hours that<br />
are free of charge <strong>and</strong> the hours you pay for are evenly spread over the year.<br />
9
Cancelling a place<br />
You must give notice of cancelling a place at least 60 days before the date that<br />
the child will leave.<br />
You cancel the place through the “förskola, pedagogisk omsorg eller fritidshem”<br />
e-service.<br />
The fee for the pre-<strong>school</strong> place is invoiced for 60 days from the day you cancel<br />
the place.<br />
