Universal child allowance
Universal monthly benefit for each child up to 18 — basic amount ~€85–90/month, increased for families with many children and low-income families.
Start application →Child money (officially the "universal child benefit") is a monthly state benefit paid by Sodra for each child registered as resident in the Republic of Lithuania, from birth to age 18 (or up to 21 if the child is in education). The basic amount in 2026 is around €85–90 per month per child, while families with many children or families whose income per member is below 2 VRP receive an increased supplement. <strong>You do not need to submit a new application every year</strong> — once granted, it is paid automatically until the child turns 18 (or while the child is in education).
Eligibility
Child money is available if:
- The child is registered as residing in Lithuania, or the applicant is an EU citizen with a work or residence permit status
- The child is under 18 (or under 21 if attending a general-education school)
- The applicant is one of the parents, adoptive parents, guardians, or the child themselves (if of age and receiving support)
- Increased supplement: family with many children OR income per member < 2 VRP OR child with a disability
2 children × 80,00 € = 160,00 € per month
- Base amount 160,00 € / month
- Monthly total 160,00 € / month
- Per year 1 920,00 € / year
