According to the submission of the Hanoi People's Committee, the source of funding for additional income is used from the remaining salary reform fund of the budgets at all levels after ensuring sufficient resources to implement salary reform for the entire period of budget stabilization according to regulations of competent authorities and ensuring social policies, social security, and social welfare issued by the Central Government.

The source of funding for additional income of agencies and units is equal to the basic salary fund (including salary according to rank and position) multiplied by the deduction level decided by the City People's Council. The remaining funding source for salary reform in 2023 transferred to 2024 (after using additional funds for the need to implement salary reform and bonuses according to Decree No. 73/2024/ND-CP) is 66,073 billion VND. The need for additional funding to implement salary reform each year is about 12,000 billion VND.

Thus, the remaining budget for implementing salary reform to spend on additional income at the rate of 0.8 times the basic salary fund can be implemented from 2025 to the end of 2030. In 2025, the deduction level to create a budget for implementing additional income is equal to 0.8 times the basic salary fund.

From the beginning of the next budget stabilization period, based on the remaining salary reform source after ensuring sufficient resources to implement salary reform for the entire budget stabilization period according to regulations of competent authorities and ensuring social policies, social security, and social welfare issued by the Central Government, the City People's Committee shall report and propose to the City People's Council to consider and decide on the level of deduction to create a source of funding to implement additional income expenditure for cadres, civil servants, and public employees under the city's management for the entire period and each year, but not exceeding 0.8 times the basic salary fund.

In case of any changes in salary reform sources that change the current deduction level, the City People's Committee shall report and propose the changed deduction level for the City People's Council to consider and decide at the nearest City People's Council meeting.

The additional income expenditure of agencies and units is implemented according to the following plan: using 0.5 times the basic salary fund to pay additional monthly income for all existing cadres, civil servants and public employees of the agency or unit who are eligible according to the salary coefficient of the current salary scale and position.
