Estimate the indicative sickness, maternity, or paternity benefit amount based on your compensated earnings.
These benefits are NOT subject to personal income tax (GPM) or social/health insurance (VSD/PSD) — the amount received is the final net amount.
| Benefit | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Sickness benefit (from day 3, paid by Sodra) | 62.06% of compensated earnings |
| Sickness benefit (days 1–2, paid by employer) | no less than 62.06% |
| Maternity benefit | 100% of compensated earnings |
| Paternity benefit | 100% of compensated earnings |
Minimum and maximum limits apply to compensated earnings (tied to the Lithuanian average wage / basic social insurance indicator), and the childcare benefit (after maternity/paternity leave) follows different rules. For an exact calculation matching your case (with floors/caps), use the official Sodra calculator.
This percentage resulted from a Lithuanian tax reform that merged employee and employer taxes into the gross salary — although the percentage is lower, the actual net amount received stayed roughly similar.
The employer, from its own funds, at no less than 62.06% of the compensated earnings. From the 3rd day onward, the benefit is paid by Sodra, the Lithuanian State Social Insurance Fund Board.
No, Sodra social insurance benefits (sickness, maternity, paternity) are exempt from Lithuanian personal income tax (GPM) — the amount received is final.
