Sähköasentaja's net salary and taxation in Finland 2026. Calculate your exact net pay in different municipalities.
Electricians install and maintain electrical systems in residential, industrial, and infrastructure settings. Work requires an STEK electrical competency certification — the grade (SP1–SP3) determines the scope of permissible work. Growth in renewable energy — solar panels, wind power, EV charging — has created urgent new demand.
The industry collective agreement sets minimum terms, but many electricians move into self-employment as their careers progress, where hourly rates can substantially exceed employed wages.
