Cost of Living in Vilnius

https://osp.stat.gov.lt/informaciniai-pranesimai?eventId=294351

Average net salary was 1348.0 eur. in 2022Q4.

Numbeo is a scam site always has been.The owner lives in Belgrade Serbia but is originally from Bosnia.

Where is numbeo picking up these prices from? In a cheap restaurant on Vilnius you can get a Pizza for 8 euros or a burger + fries + coleslaw. Just try Cili pizza.

I am in Vilnius and leaving soon for Southern eastern Europe. Vilnius got super expensive! It is not worth it anymore. Prices are going up on daily ! 1 Bedroom apt for 650 eur. I like the city but prices are almost like London. I do not know how Lithuanians who wo not own a place can survive, ah probably they are already in UK. Cheers

ruski trolls working hard here.
My salary in Lt right now is 4960 euro per month before tax - 3000 after tax. nice city, ok-ish country, could be more tolerant, could be warmer, chill pace of living..

According to the Q2 2021 statistics, average salary in Vilnius is 1125 euros.

I totally agree with how others abroad can be very critical towards russians

I totally agree with how others abroad can be very critical towards Americans

Let's dance

All of the hateful Russian rhetoric and other things mentioned here. But while I'm at it I'll add something. Baseball and basketball originated in the U S.Why would Lithuanians among others worldwide hate Americans so much since they like to play American sports so much? Frenchman like to play basketball alot here in Paris where I'm from. As a child I attended basketball games with my family.More than once I've seen Americans snubbed by others just for visiting France and three American friends of mine who work in Paris I've known for many years.Always remember Americans have nothing to do with the U S government and they never have.

Goodbye

Mother told me to never turn my back on murderous Lithuanians.

I would really appteciate if you provide link to your "data". Thank you inadvance

Sorry to dissapoint, you mixed data with Saint Petersburg, where are you from... :) just to mention funny part:bank robberies in Lithuania? :) it has never been in LT...Armed roberries? Nope, it does not exist. And all data is total nonsense..
Good luck in continue bullshiting :)

Im local. Working in the goverment sector. Salary is 1350 neto. Life is just good here. Its very safe, very clean city, lot if foreigners live here as well. Prices are still low , but gerting higher , so the wages too. :) great country in general!

Oh and these Russian trols don't even get minimum wage in Russia but instead they sit around all day hoping to get atleast 120 ru to buy another alcoholic beverage or a cheap package of cigarettes a dog wouldn't even smoke. Russians eat dogshit,alot because it's free.

Yes yes, as usual bla bla facts. Lithuania has suffered the least economically in the EU from the COVID, showing the maturity of economy. If barber is experienced and professional, 1000 euros is very normal salary. The claim that he/she may get 400 euros is total nonsense, as the minimum salary in Lithuania is 468 euros as of 1 Jan 2021.

If you come to Vilnius to be a barber you won't make much money especially since there's so many barbers.You might make 400e each month if you were very lucky.

With russian trollies better not to react to them, as their observations are very superficially and funny. At least they could use Kremlin "stats". For example, statement that the tallest building in Vilnius is Europa Tower 148 meters and 40 floors, not like russian trolly said 21 floor...

Thomas you cannot believe anything the Lithuanian Statistics Agency says because they're a government think tank trying to promote Lithuania. Oh BTW THOMAS I've lived in Lithuania all of my life still do. I live in Vilnius so if there were any skyscrapers I would've most certainly seen them.Stop spreading lies whomever you are. Actually the tallest building in Vilnius is 21 story's tall the tallest building in all of Lithuania.

Salaries aren't correct currently especially since the downturn over the past 8 months.Those salaries posted October 4, 2020 aren't accurate but instead way over inflated. I've lived in Lithuania all of my life and for all of the categories mentioned should be 70% less. It's obvious that poster copied salaries from SALERY EXPLORER which has never been accurate from the beginning.I'm a master electrician of 17 years, my monthly salary is 450€ per month before taxes.

The real situacion in Vilnius

In Vilnius The avrage salary after tax is 900-1000 euros witch is enough to life a good life style.
But if you come here without an education The avrage salary will be around 600-700 euros. Its enough to live normaly but with a strict budget. If you have a degree in programing and other similiar jobs (Finance, Engineering, etc)
you would get 1000-1700 euros

Vilnius is a green city with alot of parks and forests. Vilnius has The most highly educated places in lithuania but definetly not as much as western cities. The populiation of Vilnius growing slowly since 2013. English is spoken by most of The people under 30 but with older people it might a problem with some people, and forget speaking English with people over 60yrs old most of them dont know english. Small Traffic jams are a normal things on The main city streets in rush hour.
Rent prices are cheaper in old soviet blocks compared to The prices on this website.
Vilnius is safe in general but there are a few places where you should watch your pockets
More dangerous areas:
Naujininkai (city district)
Near The train station
Rasos (city district)

One question everyone, I've received an offer of 3k USD which I understand is 2,7k EUR.

I'm trying to understand how much will that be after taxes. I'm getting ranges between 1.6k to 2.1k after tax. Any idea how to be certain?

If it's gross, you'll take home around 2,8 net, which is pretty good in Vilnius: pretty decent lifestyle, but of course no limos and supermodel girlfriends :)

Hum? Haven't seen camel post anything anywhere since Aug 11 quite odd since camel is always at the forefront of confrontating everyone who posts anything anywhere on numbeo.Seems the rogue is remaining incognito along with the cohorts residing in Belgrade who condone Russian operative types and their devious actions.Camel isn't the only one working for numbeo promoting Russian operatives or Belgrade operatives residing at numbeo headquarters trying to impose their brand of treachery upon unsuspecting users of this rogue site.We are digging deeper into the bowels of this site and have found many discrepancies already which are deplourable.Numbeo can delete this post but it doesn't really matter to us.We are visiting Belgrade personally incognito.

Newcomers, countrymeters.info/en/Lithuania...just check this webpage...LOOL

Salaries are still very low compared with western countries, of course you can live there with 800 € netto wage per month, but you will be just wasting your life. Just again I mention that in north country - Estonia can afford better life and opportunities. Last, Lithuania is very small boring country, everyone knows each other and that will limit your behaviour like all rest world and just you will have adapt to have very boring life with many rules and sociality. Boom ...LOOL

...Moreover, that thinking and living mentalitet is totally different between Lithuania and Estonia...again I mention that Tallinn is more cleaner, modern, safe, developed, innovative place to live. Estonia is going step by step to modern place to live in whole EU. Estonians are more relaxed and still more open than you get know each other and becoming a good friends. At last, like everyone wants to have higher living quality from emotional side viewing, just go to live in Tallinn. FYI in parliament election won liberals and will help estonians to get developed more in the nearest Future. LOL

...moreover, Vilnius is very small city and everyone knows each other, that is other reason that will destroy your freedom and behavior, Tallinn is more free space to live. I have worked for some while there and it is more comfortable place, salary is 300 € higher...LooL

I lived myself in London for 9 years and must say that I have saved much more money while living in here than in London. I used to earn around 3000 GBP but rent alone was 1400 GBP for a two bedroom flat. I earn only 1350 euros now but at least I can save something as I do not have to pay rent

Most of negative comments are Russian propaganda, read them carefully! Lithuania is nice country and people there are friendly.

Tomm, very beautiful descripption of corrupted country Lithuania, reality - persons likes freedom and nice environment, just go to Estonia and have happy life...that is so simple true, that Tallinn is more developed place to live...just trust me.

---> Tourists, you have to skip from your list this social po-soviet country during your vocational traveling, better spend this time in neighborhood like Latvia and Estonia, you will have a better service and time...that is true.

Lithuania is still in deep socialism and for simple person is very hard to make good career, most good educated professionals leaves this country...
