**Scenario:** Employee in Vilnius, monthly gross salary €3,000. No additional deductions.

| Step | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|
| Gross salary | 3,000 | 36,000 |
| − Sodra employee (15.7%) | (471) | (5,652) |
| Taxable before NPD | 2,529 | 30,348 |
| − NPD | 0 (income > €2,167) | 0 |
| GPM base | 2,529 | 30,348 |
| GPM at 20% | (505.80) | (6,069.60) |
| **Net salary** | **2,023.20** | **24,278.40** |
