About Lärarförsäkringar

Svenska Lärarförsäkringar, or The Swedish Teachers’ Insurance, was founded in 1998 by two teaching unions – The Swedish Teachers' Union, Lärarförbundet, and The National Union of Teachers in Sweden, Lärarnas Riksförbund.

From the 1st of January 2023 the two unions has reorganized as Sveriges Lärare and Sveriges Skolledare.

Lärarförsäkringar provides the unions' members with competitive insurance policies, and advice regarding savings and pension schemes. Lärarförsäkringar is not an insurance company per se, but acts as an intermediary between the union members and different insurance providers; to negotiate the best possible insurance products with the best possible terms and conditions for the unions' members.

  • Every new member of Sveriges Lärare and/or Sveriges Skolledare with active member status are automatically covered by a basic insurance policy with Lärarförsäkringar. Members are free to opt-out at any time. Our approach means that our customers will not need to undergo an individual health check upon sign up. This also means that our insurance products are available to a large number of people who otherwise might not be able to be fully covered by insurance.

  • Lärarförsäkringar's pensions counsellors offer guidance on the pension system and the various options open to you. For example, we can help you with the all-important occupational pension also known as company pension (tjänstepension).

    Our counsellors give you a full overview of your pension and will help you calculate the private savings you will need to supplement the national pension (allmän pension) and your occupational pension.

    Pensions and Savings Councelling is free of charge for members.

  • If you are approaching retirement age, Lärarförsäkringar can support your retirement planning. For example, we can give advice on how to withdraw your pension, how your pension is affected if you retire early, and questions regarding working part-time or working past retirement age, so that you fully understand the different elements that form your pension.

    Retirement Planning is free of charge for members.
