Increase basic salary to 1.8 million VND/month

On November 11, 2022, the National Assembly passed a Resolution on the 2023 state budget estimate.

Accordingly, from July 1, 2023, the basic salary for cadres, civil servants and public employees will increase to 1.8 million VND/month, equivalent to an increase of 20.8% compared to the current basic salary. Currently, the applied basic salary is 1.49 million VND/month.

Currently, according to Decree 204/2004/ND-CP, civil servant and public employee salaries are calculated using the following formula:

Salary = Basic salary x Salary coefficient

For example, for civil servants of type A1, the starting salary coefficient is 2.34.

If calculated according to the current basic salary of 1.49 million VND, the salary received is 3.486 million VND/month.

If calculated according to the basic salary of 1.8 million VND from July 1, 2023, the salary can be up to 4.212 million VND/month.

Thus, if calculated according to the new basic salary, the expected income for civil servants in this case will increase to 725,400 VND/month.
