- Uniforms: no universal school uniform fee is charged by default; if any uniform or branded clothing is offered for purchase, that cost would be optional and billed separately by the supplier or school.

Refund information

Refund rules for any voluntary payments (for example paid trips or purchased items) depend on the specific activity or supplier and are handled on a case-by-case basis by the school administration.

Fee payment options (how payments are normally accepted for any voluntary charges)
- No tuition payments are required. For occasional voluntary charges, common payment methods used in Sweden and typically available to organisations include invoice (bank transfer), Swish (mobile payment), and card payments; individual arrangements and exact accepted methods for a given charge are set by the school's administration and shown on the invoice or payment request.

Application fees
- There is no application fee to register or to be placed in the IES Täby queue. Applications are made via the IES queue system (SchoolSoft) using BankID or by submitting the printable application form; no charge is taken for applying or for queue placement.

Tuition fees by year group (academic year 2026/27)
- Year groups: 4–9 (IES Täby is a Years 4–9 school).
- Tuition: SEK 0 per term and SEK 0 per year for all compulsory year groups (Years 4–9). Education in the compulsory school forms in Sweden is provided free of charge; no tuition is billed for these year groups.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Because there is no tuition charge for Years 4–9, there is no tuition billing schedule or term invoicing for compulsory schooling at IES Täby.

Other costs and fees

These purchases are optional and are invoiced/collected by the external supplier.
- Voluntary school activities and trips: Occasional voluntary activities (for example certain school trips, museum visits or similar) may require voluntary contributions from guardians; such contributions must be voluntary, open to all students, and limited to the organiser's actual cost (they must not constitute repeated compulsory charges). Guardians may therefore incur modest, one-off costs for some trips or excursions.
- After‑school services (fritids/open activities): Where after‑school or open fritids services are provided and charged, fees are subject to the municipal rules (maxtaxa) or must be reasonable as required by Swedish regulations. Guardians may therefore face fees for certain childcare or open‑activity services in line with statutory limits.

For statutory rules on permitted charges and voluntary contributions in compulsory schooling, see the national regulations.

Fee payment options
- There are no tuition payments to make for Years 4–9; the admissions/queue process uses BankID for account and application management.
- Optional purchases (school clothes, extras) and voluntary activity payments are handled and collected by the supplier or activity organiser; payment methods and timing follow the supplier's/organiser's stated checkout or invoicing options. Example: school‑clothes orders are placed via the external webshop and follow that vendor's payment process.
