How to Read This View

Use 100 as the reference

The United States is fixed at 100 for every category. A value of 51.3 means that Lithuania’s price level is about 48.7% below the U.S. benchmark, while a value of 94.9 means it is approximately 5% lower.

Compare categories, not household bills

Each row represents a separate spending category. The values show relative price levels rather than the actual amount a household spends. A higher clothing index does not necessarily mean that total living costs are higher by the same amount.

Check the selected year

The year buttons update all displayed categories together. Missing observations are shown as unavailable and are never replaced with values from another year.

Read the placement

Lithuania’s 2025 PPP-adjusted annual wage is 4.2% below the OECD median. Its 2024 Overall price index of 51.3 is 48.7% below the U.S. benchmark, meaning that both measures sit on the same side of their references in this dataset. Wage and price observations refer to separately labelled years and should not be read as a household affordability score.
