Overview
Lithuania's income share top 10% stood at 28.14% in 2025, a rise of +0.84pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 28.14% by 2025. Lithuania ranked 32nd globally.
Lithuania’s income share held by the top 10 % of earners has risen modestly since the series began in 1993, moving from 27.50 % to 28.14 % in 2025, placing the country 32nd in the world. The indicator reached its all‑time high of 29.50 % in 2016 before retreating to a trough of 24.50 % in 2011, suggesting that the post‑global‑financial‑crisis recovery was accompanied by a temporary compression of top‑income concentration that later expanded again. Compared with peers of similar rank, Lithuania’s share sits slightly below the Dominican Republic’s 28.63 % and Kenya’s 28.40 % while exceeding Nepal’s 27.39 % and China’s 27.33 %. The 29‑year coverage shows a gradual upward trajectory, albeit with limited volatility, indicating that without major policy shifts or external shocks the share of income accruing to the richest decile is likely to continue its slow increase.
