What a buyer pays in Vilnius
The $6,013 figure is a local-market average across all residential property types: a flat in a prime district sits well above it, an older unit on the edge of the market well below. Buying costs — transfer tax or stamp duty, notary, registration and agency — come to about 1.4% of the price here. On a 100 m² apartment at the average price that is roughly $8,418 on top of the $601,271 purchase price. That is below the 9.5% median across the set, which shortens the time it takes for a purchase to break even. Against the Lithuania national average of $3,607, Vilnius carries a 66.7% premium — the gap between this market and the country as a whole.
What it earns
A square metre lets for about $16.3 a month. Against a purchase price of $6,013 per square metre that is 3.3% gross, before tax. Both figures come from the same source and the same period, so you can check the arithmetic yourself. It ranks 136th of 151 markets by gross yield. Rental income is taxed at 15–15.7% — the rate is not a single number here. The 2.8% net figure we publish uses 15%.
How the tax works. Rent from Lithuanian property is taxed at 15% up to 12 average wages (EUR 27,745.80) a year and 20% above (25%/32% only at much higher incomes), per Global Property Guide Lithuania; PwC Lithuania (last reviewed 2026-10-01) lists lease income from Lithuanian property as taxable for non-residents. On USD 1,000-3,000 a month (about EUR 10,700-32,100 a year) that is 15.0-15.7%. Sources: GPG Lithuania; PwC Tax Summaries Lithuania.
