Tillkommer

Tillkommer is a Swedish verb in the present tense that means that something is added in addition to what has been stated or agreed. It is used to indicate that a charge, duty, cost, or obligation will arise on top of the base amount. The base form is tillkomma; tillkommer is the 3rd person present form and is also used impersonally in phrases like Det tillkommer. The past tense is tillkom and the past participle is tillkommit; the present participle is tillkommande.

Common usage occurs in prices, invoices, and contracts, where it signals that items are not included in the base price. Examples include frakt tillkommer (shipping will be added) or tillkommer moms (VAT applies). The construction is often seen in formal or written language, such as price quotations, terms and conditions, or notices.

Semantically, tillkommer contrasts with ingår or ingår i priset (is included). Tillkommer denotes something extra or auxiliary, sometimes contingent on further information or decisions. It can indicate future adjustments or optional charges that may be incurred depending on circumstances.

Etymology traces tillkommer to till- (to) and komma (to come), reflecting an addition that arrives beyond the originally stated scope. Related forms include tillkomma (infinitive), tillkommit (past participle), and tillkommande (present participle/adjective, meaning forthcoming or additional). In usage, it remains a formal term frequently found in contracts, quotes, and official notices rather than in casual speech.
