What this estimate simplifies
GPM (income tax) is 20% up to EUR 82,963 (36× the average wage), 25% to EUR 138,270 (60×), then 32%; a new 25% band was added for 2026. Sodra employee contributions are 12.52% social insurance + 6.98% health, both capped at EUR 138,270/yr. The low-income allowance (NPD) phases to zero above roughly EUR 34,000/yr and isn't modelled.
Every figure assumes a single filer with no dependents. See the methodology for the full list of assumptions and sources.
Common questions
Is this my exact take-home pay in Lithuania?
No. It is an estimate for comparison, based on 2025–2026 national tax rules for a single person with no dependents. It does not account for your residency or filing status, reliefs and credits specific to you, local tax variations, or income other than salary. Treat it as a well-informed ballpark, not a payslip.
What does the Lithuania figure include?
Personal income tax and mandatory employee social security contributions. Employer-side contributions are excluded because they are never part of your take-home pay. GPM (income tax) is 20% up to EUR 82,963 (36× the average wage), 25% to EUR 138,270 (60×), then 32%; a new 25% band was added for 2026. Sodra employee contributions are 12.52% social insurance + 6.98% health, both capped at EUR 138,270/yr. The low-income allowance (NPD) phases to zero above roughly EUR 34,000/yr and isn't modelled.
How is Lithuania social security calculated here?
Employee contributions are modelled at 19.5% on income up to €138,270 per year. This is a simplification of the real breakdown into pension, health, unemployment and other funds, which together come to roughly this figure for an employee.
Why might my real Lithuania net pay be different?
Common reasons: you are married or have children; you claim pension, mortgage, commuting or other deductions; you live in a region or municipality with a rate above or below the national average used here; the law changed mid-year; or part of your pay is a bonus taxed on a different basis. Always confirm important numbers with an Lithuania tax professional or the national tax authority.
