What Stands Out
01
Latest Wage Gap
Lithuania's latest average wage is $58,112 for 2025, about 1.2% higher than Israel's $57,426 for 2025 — a percentage worked out directly from the two reported figures. In annual terms the gap comes to about $686 on the same PPP basis.
02
Stronger Recent Trend
On the latest one-year change, Lithuania shows the stronger movement at +5.9%, against +0.5% for Israel. The five-year horizon keeps the same ordering: +15.9% against +5.8%. Both percentages are real, PPP-adjusted changes from the reported wage series.
03
Largest Price Gap
Housing shows the widest price gap of the comparable categories in 2024: 33.3 for Lithuania against 93.9 for Israel. That is a separation of 60.6 index points on the US=100 scale, with Israel on the higher side and Lithuania on the lower one. The gap is stated in index points, which are not interchangeable with percentages.
04
Closest Price Category
The closest category is Clothing: Lithuania reads 94.9 and Israel 106 for 2024, just 11.1 index points apart on the US=100 scale. The next closest is Transport at 24.6 index points apart. A gap this small leaves the category effectively tied on the shared US=100 scale.
Understanding the Comparison
Wage Position
Lithuania and Israel report nearly the same PPP-adjusted average annual wage: $58,112 for 2025, against $57,426 for 2025. The difference is 1.2% in relative terms — a percentage calculated from the two reported values — or roughly $686 a year, which is small next to either figure. Because both values already sit on the same USD PPP, constant-2025-price footing, the comparison adjusts for price-level differences between the two economies. Over ten years Lithuania recorded +55.3% and Israel +19.8%, so the two series have been moving in the same long-term direction. For most side-by-side readings the two wage levels can be treated as equivalent within this dataset.
Wage Direction
Both wage series rise over the five-year horizon, though not at the same pace. Lithuania sits at the highest point of its series — $58,112 in 2025 is also the historical peak, with a ten-year change of +55.3%. Israel sits at the highest point of its series — $57,426 in 2025 is also the historical peak, with a ten-year change of +19.8%. Lithuania's five-year change of +15.9% outpaces Israel's +5.8% in magnitude, so the common direction does not mean the two levels are holding a fixed distance. Each percentage is a real, PPP-adjusted change; nominal pay movements are outside what this dataset reports.
Price Profile
Lithuania's overall consumer price level for 2024 reads 51.3, and Israel's reads 93.1, each measured against the United States reference of 100. One side of this pairing dominates the price profile: Israel sits higher in 8 of the 8 comparable categories. Housing separates the two most: Lithuania reads 33.3 and Israel 93.9, 60.6 index points apart. The two sit closest in Clothing (94.9 versus 106), only 11.1 index points apart. Counted against the US reference of 100, 0 of Lithuania's 8 reported categories sit above the line, against 4 of Israel's 8. These are index values for 2024, not currency amounts; categories without a reported value on either side are left out of the comparison.
Wage and price data should not be combined into a verdict on which country is better to live in.
