From July 1, 2025, will the basic salary double? Important information everyone needs to know

Currently, Vietnamese law does not have an official definition of "basic salary" in legal documents, but this is a very familiar term used in the field of labor and wages.

Accordingly, basic salary is the fixed salary that the employee receives according to the agreement in the labor contract, excluding allowances, bonuses, or other additional benefits.

Simply put, base salary is the "fixed" salary that employees are paid based on the work they do, often used as the basis for calculating other payments such as social insurance, overtime, or related benefits.

How to determine basic salary:

- For officials, public employees and workers in the State sector:

Basic salary = Basic salary x salary coefficient

- For employees working in enterprises and organizations outside the state sector:

The basic salary is determined based on the regional minimum wage.

The basic salary in 2025 is currently applied according to the provisions of Decree 73/2024/ND-CP from July 1, 2024 to present. Accordingly, the current basic salary is 2,340,000 VND/month.

There is currently no official regulation on doubling the basic salary from July 1, 2025. The salary adjustment in 2025 will depend on the economic situation and the Government's decision after reporting to the National Assembly. Workers need to follow information from official sources to avoid confusion with inaccurate rumors.

9 groups of people will have new salary tables after 2026

According to Conclusion 83-KL/TW in 2024, the Politburo assigned the Central Economic Commission to preside over and coordinate with the Ministry of Home Affairs and relevant ministries and branches to research, evaluate and propose a roadmap for reforming salary policy in the public sector after 2026.

One of the key contents is to abolish basic salary, salary coefficient and apply a new salary system according to job position.

Specifically, the authorities will propose implementing 5 new salary scales and 9 new allowance regimes applicable to the following subjects:

Cadres, civil servants, and public employees holding leadership positions

Civil servants and public employees not holding leadership positions

Police officer

Police non-commissioned officer

Police technical expertise

Military officer

Professional soldier

Defense workers

Police workers

This is a step to inherit and concretize the content of Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018 on reforming salary policy. Accordingly, the new salary system will completely eliminate basic salary and salary coefficient, replacing it with specific salary levels according to fixed amounts in each salary table. At the same time, expanding salary relations in the direction of gradually approaching the business sector, in accordance with the payment capacity of the state budget.

In addition, Conclusion 83-KL/TW also requires continuing to improve the system of Job Position Lists as a basis for determining the new salary table, aiming for a more professional, effective and transparent civil service in salary payment.

Currently, the proposal is still under research and will be submitted to the Central Government for consideration after 2026.

If passed, this will be a major turning point in building a fair and reasonable wage policy in line with the socialist-oriented market mechanism.
