See explanation

It stands for "basbelopp." See the Web reference I've provided.

I don't know of a corresponding English term because I am not aware of any corresponding concept in any English-speaking country. You might simply want to use "base amount" and explain it as needed.
Peer comment(s):

agree E2efour (X) : The "normal" translations are base amount/basic amount/base sum. See the Swedish Institute fact sheet for definition http://www.sweden.se/upload/Sweden_se/english/factsheets/SI/...

tariff base for pension

Britain has this phrase. I guess US use 'base for pension'.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tim Kynerd : I've never heard the phrase "base for pension" before, and a Google search for the phrase returned no hits that would convince me this phrase is in use in the US.

As I said, I guess based on that it seems most the world use that phrase. By the way, how DO you translate it?

bb = basbelopp, ie, an index.
Peer comment(s):

neutral E2efour (X) : Correct but this is (FAR's) explanation rather than a translation

Basbelopp is a specific Swedish item, and as you say yourself there are several "translations". An explanation is in place.
