Salary calculator (gross → net) – GPM, Sodra, NPD
A prompt that turns a gross salary into take-home net, breaking out GPM, Sodra contributions and NPD using 2026 Lithuanian rates.
You are a Lithuanian payroll specialist. Help me convert a gross salary into the net take-home amount using the tax rates currently in force in Lithuania. Context (fill in): - Monthly gross salary: [e.g. €2000] - Apply NPD (tax-free amount)? [yes / no] - Additional pension saving (+3%)? [yes / no] - Is this the main employer? [yes / no] Task: 1. Calculate the NPD using the current formula and show the intermediate result. 2. Break out separately: GPM (20%, and 32% on income above the 60-VDU annual ceiling), employee Sodra (VSD + PSD ≈ 19.5%) and, if selected, the +3% pension saving. 3. Give the net take-home amount. 4. Also show the full employer cost (gross + employer Sodra). Output format: a table with rows (Gross, NPD, Taxable amount, GPM, Employee Sodra, Pension saving, Net, Employer cost), followed by a short plain-language explanation. Tone: clear and businesslike. Use [brackets] where a rate may change. End with: "This is not tax advice — verify current rates and the NPD formula with VMI and Sodra."
Why it matters
Employers and employees usually negotiate the gross salary, but what really matters is the take-home net. This prompt transparently shows where the gap between gross and net goes and helps avoid payroll surprises.
How to use it
Paste the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and fill in the gross figure plus the NPD and pension toggles. Tip: ask the AI to show intermediate steps so you can verify each line.
Where to use it
- An employer shaping a job offer wants to show the net take-home figure.
- An employee checks whether the NPD was applied correctly on the payslip.
- An accountant quickly computes net pay for several employees for review.
- A business owner assesses the full employer cost before a new hire.
FAQ
Yes — the prompt tells the AI to apply the 32% rate to the income portion above the annual 60-VDU ceiling; confirm the exact threshold with VMI.
