Dev Salaries in my Home Lithuania: Survey Results (Market Research)

An annual developer salary survey from Lithuania covering ~1,000 respondents shares 2025 results. Junior developers earn ~€1,600-1,700/month after taxes, mid-level ~€2,500, and seniors ~€4,000 — roughly 80% above the national average wage. Year-over-year growth is modest: juniors +15% (but fewer respondents), mid-level +1% (below inflation), seniors +9%. Key themes from free-form responses include a junior hiring crisis, salary stagnation, AI-driven productivity pressure from management, skepticism about vibe coding quality, fewer job postings, and a shrinking gap between Lithuanian and Western European salaries. The survey also notes that the developer salary premium over the national average has been narrowing over 11 years.
