Salary Guides

Lithuania uses the Euro (EUR) since 2015. The high Sodra social contribution (~19.5% employee) is the largest deduction from gross pay — significantly higher than Latvia (10.5%) or Estonia (about 3.6% including the default second pension pillar). The NPD non-taxable threshold tapers for higher earners. Lithuania has one of the EU's fastest-growing economies and highest English proficiency rates, with a strong startup ecosystem in Vilnius (Vinted, TransferGo, Revolut operations).

Moving from Lithuania

Moving from Lithuania

Lithuania is an EU, Eurozone, and Schengen member. EU citizens have freedom of movement. Non-EU citizens require a National Visa (D visa) for stays over 90 days, typically tied to employment or study. Lithuania introduced a Digital Nomad Visa (Startup Visa) for founders and remote workers. Vilnius is the Baltic startup capital — Vinted (used goods marketplace, $4.5B+ valuation), Oxylabs, and Teltonika are Lithuanian unicorns. Cost of living: Vilnius is 50–55% cheaper than London, with excellent quality of life.
