Lithuania rounds the final total of a cash purchase or cash refund to the nearest five cents. Individual item prices do not change, and non-cash payments are not rounded.
Five possible finishes
The basket rounds, not the biscuit
A product may still be priced at EUR 1.99. The register first calculates every item normally, then rounds only the final amount when the customer chooses cash.
Card keeps the exact cent
A EUR 12.03 basket costs EUR 12.05 in cash and EUR 12.03 by card. The small difference belongs to the payment method, not to a hidden card discount or cash fee.
The smallest coins did not disappear
One-cent and two-cent coins remain legal tender and may be used toward the rounded amount. Rounding reduces the need to issue and return them; it does not make them invalid.
Some money movements stay exact
Currency exchange, cash deposits and withdrawals, taxes, fines, wages, pensions and cash remittances are among the cases outside ordinary checkout rounding. The rule is designed for purchases and service payments.
A cash refund follows the same ending
When a merchant refunds cash for returned goods, the refund amount is rounded too. A non-cash refund returns the exact amount through its original payment channel.
