What the data covers
Our Lithuanian register snapshot holds 224,096 companies. Within that:
| Field | Companies with a value |
|---|---|
| Average monthly pay | 40,667 |
| Revenue | 155,614 |
| Employee count | 107,368 |
| All companies in snapshot | 224,096 |
Lithuania is unusual in Europe for how much of this is publicly derivable. Social insurance contributions and filed accounts make average pay and headcount visible at company level, which in most European markets is either unavailable or sold at a high price.
The pay distribution
Average gross monthly pay, in euros, across the 40,667 companies with a figure on file.
| Monthly pay band | Companies | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Under 1,000 | 9,437 | 23.2% |
| 1,000 to 1,500 | 11,612 | 28.6% |
| 1,500 to 2,000 | 8,229 | 20.2% |
| 2,000 to 3,000 | 7,481 | 18.4% |
| 3,000 to 5,000 | 3,264 | 8.0% |
| Over 5,000 | 644 | 1.6% |
The mean across the sample is 1,718 euros. Just over half of all companies with a figure sit below 1,500 euros a month, and fewer than one in ten averages above 3,000.
The figure is a company average, not a salary for a specific role. A firm with three highly paid engineers and twenty warehouse staff will show a low number, so read the bands as a description of the workforce mix rather than of what any individual earns.
Pay by sector
Restricted to sectors with at least 200 companies carrying a pay figure.
| Sector | Companies | Average monthly pay |
|---|---|---|
| IT and Software | 1,139 | 3,152 EUR |
| Finance and Insurance | 391 | 2,564 EUR |
| Wholesale and Distribution | 2,237 | 2,217 EUR |
| Marketing and Media | 1,039 | 2,196 EUR |
| Education and Training | 2,213 | 2,018 EUR |
| Professional Services | 2,235 | 1,740 EUR |
| Health and Medical | 1,766 | 1,724 EUR |
| Transport and Logistics | 5,287 | 1,715 EUR |
| Manufacturing and Industry | 4,045 | 1,701 EUR |
| Agriculture | 238 | 1,642 EUR |
| Real Estate | 1,032 | 1,588 EUR |
IT and software at 3,152 euros is nearly double the sample mean, which reflects both the sector and the size of firm in it. Transport and logistics, the largest sector by company count in this table with 5,287 firms, sits at 1,715, close to the national average.
How small Lithuanian companies are
Employee counts are on file for 107,368 companies.
| Employees | Companies | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 4 | 73,262 | 68.2% |
| 5 to 9 | 14,727 | 13.7% |
| 10 to 49 | 14,232 | 13.3% |
| 50 to 249 | 4,428 | 4.1% |
| 250 or more | 719 | 0.7% |
Two thirds of Lithuanian companies with headcount data have fewer than five employees. Only 5,147 have fifty or more.
For outbound, that number is the whole strategy. If your product needs a company with fifty staff, your entire Lithuanian market is about five thousand organisations, and it is worth building that list by hand.
Why pay data is a targeting tool
Average pay is a better size and sophistication proxy than revenue. Revenue moves with sector margin. A distributor turning over five million euros and a software firm turning over five million are not comparable buyers. Average pay separates them.
It identifies where the professional roles are. A company averaging 3,000 euros a month has a workforce of specialists. A company averaging 900 has an operational one. That distinction decides whether you are selling a tool to a knowledge worker or a service to an operations manager.
It flags growth. Combining rising headcount with rising average pay identifies firms moving upmarket, which is when procurement budgets appear.
How the data was assembled
Company records come from the Lithuanian register, deduplicated on registration code. Average pay, headcount and revenue are the most recent values available per company rather than a single common period, so the tables describe the register as filed.
The mean pay figure of 1,718 euros excludes records outside a 100 to 20,000 euro range, which removes obvious data errors. The band table uses all 40,667 records.
Coverage is uneven by design: pay data exists for companies with employees and filings, so dormant entities and single-director holding companies are largely absent from the pay sample and present in the full register count.
