According to Resolution 185/2023 of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council on the state budget revenue and expenditure estimates for 2024, the maximum coefficient for additional income expenditure applicable to 2024 is 1.5 times the salary based on rank and position.

Accordingly, the formula for calculating the monthly additional income of general education teachers in Ho Chi Minh City, upon outstanding performance, is as follows:

Monthly additional income = Salary coefficient + Position allowance coefficient (if any) x 2,340,000 VND (base salary) x 1.5 (additional income coefficient).

Of that amount, 2,340,000 VND is the current basic salary (effective from July 1, 2024).
