Modelled estimate, not survey data. Each profession figure is the country's national median wage scaled by the role's skill premium — a directional model, not a per-role salary survey. It is for a mid-level professional and varies widely by employer, seniority, bonus, equity, contract type and tax regime. Net is modelled via WhereNext's tax engine and is not tax or employment advice — verify with an employer or qualified advisor before making decisions.
Turn salary, tax and cost of living into a relocation decision built around your real numbers.
The national median is about $18,087 gross (~$12,571 after tax) for 2025. A "good" salary is typically well above the median — many skilled professions here estimate above $64,305 net. Cost of living matters as much as the headline number.
Among the roles modelled, the highest after-tax pay in Latvia is estimated for cto / technology director, ai engineer, senior software engineer. These are directional estimates — actual pay varies by employer, seniority and sector.

The national median is primary-sourced (national statistical office / Eurostat, 2025 data). Per-profession figures are a model — the national median × the role's skill premium, not a per-role salary survey — so treat them as a planning guide, not a quote.
