Swedish term or phrase: ersättning
Hi,

The word ersättning in Swedish in the context: Ersättningen till Entreprenören vid arbete på löpande räkning.
It's not 'payment'. or 'remuneration' or 'fee', can't think of the right term

compensation
Explanation:
Only medium confidence without more context. Indeed, in the small sentence you provided, I would be inclined toward "remuneration". Perhaps "compensation" if it involves reimbursing expenses.

Come to think of it, "reimbursement" might work too.

reimbursement / compensation / allowance


Explanation:
I think you can take your pick really. There are a number of different options which I think would suit this context, but only you will know what will fit the best, as you have recourse to the entire text:

Reimbursement
Compensation
Allowance
Payment
Remuneration

I used FARS for the above terms.

I hope they help.
