Tax revenue

Personal income tax

You pay personal income tax when you earn income. Lithuania applies a progressive income tax system - the more you earn, the larger share of your income you pay to the state. Income up to €6,900 per month is taxed at 20%, income between €6,900 and €11,500 per month is taxed at 25%, and income above €11,500 is taxed at 32%.


In 2026, the government plans to collect nearly €7.8 billion.

State social security contributions

State social security contributions are deducted from your wage as well as paid by your employer. You pay 12.52% of your salary in pension, sickness, and maternity social security contributions. Your employer pays 1.77% of your salary in unemployment, accidents at work, and occupational diseases insurance contributions. Together, these contributions amount to 14.29%.


In 2026, Sodra plans to collect around €6.4 billion in contributions.

Mandatory Health Insurance Contributions

Mandatory health insurance (PSD) contributions are paid from wages and income from individual activities. Even if you have no income, you are still required to pay PSD contributions (unless you are insured by the state) — €80.48 per month.


Around €3 billion is planned to be collected in 2026.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

You pay VAT on purchased goods and services. Note that when making a payment, the displayed price already includes VAT, making it appear higher than it would be without taxes.


Around €7.5 billion is planned to be collected in 2026.

Excise duties

You pay excise duties when buying fuel, alcoholic beverages, and tobacco products. From 2026, sweetened beverages are also subject to excise taxation. For example, you pay 56 euro cents in excise duty for every liter of gasoline.
