How to calculate salary and allowances

Regarding the calculation of salary, allowances and operating fees, the Ministry of Home Affairs said that for cadres, civil servants, public employees and employees specified in Clauses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9, based on the current salary and allowance coefficients prescribed in documents of competent agencies of the Party and State on salary regimes for cadres, civil servants, public employees and armed forces, the basic salary level prescribed in Decree No. 24/2023/ND-CP (prescribing basic salary levels for cadres, civil servants, public employees and armed forces) to calculate the salary level, allowance level and the amount of the reserved difference coefficient (if any).

In particular, the salary effective from July 1, 2023 will be equal to the basic salary (1.8 million VND/month) multiplied by the current salary coefficient. For example, for civil servants of type A1 with a starting salary coefficient of 2.34, the salary received is 4.212 million VND/month.

The allowance level for allowances calculated based on the basic salary will be equal to the basic salary multiplied by the current allowance coefficient. The allowance level for allowances calculated as a percentage of the current salary plus the leadership position allowance and the seniority allowance exceeding the framework (if any) will be equal to the total salary, the leadership position allowance, the seniority allowance exceeding the framework implemented from July 1, 2023 multiplied by the prescribed percentage. Allowances specified in a specific amount of money will remain the same according to current regulations. The amount of the reserved difference coefficient (if any) is equal to the basic salary multiplied by the currently enjoyed reserved difference coefficient (if any).

For People's Council delegates at all levels, the activity fee coefficient is used to calculate the activity fee level according to the formula: Basic salary of 1.8 million VND/month multiplied by the activity fee coefficient according to regulations.

For part-time workers at the commune, village and residential group levels, from July 1, 2023, the allowance fund allocated by the state budget for each commune, village and residential group as prescribed in Clause 5 and Clause 6, Article 2 of Decree No. 34/2019/ND-CP is calculated based on the basic salary of VND 1.8 million/month. The specific regulations on allowance levels for these subjects are implemented according to the provisions in Clause 5 and Clause 6, Article 2 of Decree No. 34/2019/ND-CP.

From August 1, 2023, the allowance fund allocated by the state budget for each commune level, each village and residential group as prescribed in Clause 1 and Clause 2, Article 34 of Decree No. 33/2023/ND-CP will be calculated based on the basic salary of VND 1.8 million/month. The specific regulations on allowance levels for these subjects shall be implemented according to the provisions in Clause 1 and Clause 2, Article 34 of Decree No. 33/2023/ND-CP.
