Enter the association's debt per square metre (from its annual report) and we work out how the fee may move when rates rise.
The association's loans are paid by the fee. If rates rise one point the association's interest rises by 1 % of its debt – passed on in full when the loans reset, that is debt per m² × your floor area × 1 % a year. That is VERA PI's arithmetic; the board sets the fee.
The interest deduction (30 % of interest, 21 % above SEK 100,000 a year) is a tax reduction: it counts against your tax and needs enough tax to reduce (Income Tax Act ch. 67 s. 10).

How this is worked out

A month = (interest − tax reduction + amortisation) ÷ 12 + the fee and what you add. Tax reduction 30 % up to SEK 100,000 of interest a year, 21 % above. Amortisation per Act 2026:226 s. 7. The association's sensitivity: debt per m² × floor area × 1 % ÷ 12 (VERA PI).
