Unless you’re in some crazy tax bracket, I’m fairly sure most Swedes don’t pay 55% income tax.
I checked Skatteverket’s calculator and if I state that I make 1M SEK per year (104k USD) the taxation rate is 33.8%. Heck, even at 10M SEK it’s so only 50%ish.

That’s the income tax. The employer also have to pay “Arbetsgivaravgift”. Whenever something is bought there is a 25% VAT (except food which is taxed lower). Sometimes you have to pay taxes on the price where VAT is already added.
