How much will the salaries of professional soldiers increase when the 2024 salary reform is implemented?
According to Resolution 27/NQ-TW 2018 on reforming the salary policy for the military and police, the following points are outlined:
A new salary system based on job position, title, and leadership position will be developed and issued to replace the current salary system; transitioning from the old salary to the new salary, ensuring that the new salary is not lower than the current salary.
Accordingly, from July 1, 2024, professional soldiers will receive salaries based on job position, title, and leadership position, replacing the current salary system, ensuring that the new salary is not lower than the current salary.
Furthermore, according to the spirit of Resolution 27/NQ-TW 2018, in addition to the current salary and allowances, from July 1, 2024, military and police personnel may receive additional income from bonuses (the bonus fund is about 10% of the total annual salary fund, excluding allowances).
From 2025 onwards, the salary will continue to adjust, increasing on average by 7% per year for officials and public employees, and the armed forces until the lowest salary is equal to or higher than the minimum salary of Region I of the enterprise sector.
Therefore, according to Resolution 27-NQ/TW 2018, the salary of professional soldiers will increase by an average of 7% annually until the lowest salary is equal to or higher than the minimum salary of Region I of the enterprise sector.

What is the guiding viewpoint on salary reform?
Resolution 27-NQ/TW 2018 discusses the guiding viewpoints on salary reform as follows:
- Salary policy is a particularly important policy of the socio-economic policy system. Salary must truly be the main income to ensure the livelihood of the salaried worker and their family; appropriate salary payment is an investment in human resource development, creating motivation to improve labor productivity and efficiency, contributing significantly to social progress and fairness, ensuring political and social stability; promoting and enhancing the quality of growth and sustainable development.
- Salary policy reform must ensure overall, systematic, and synchronized improvement, inheriting and promoting the advantages, effectively overcoming the limitations and inadequacies of the current salary policy; adhere to the principle of labor distribution and the objective laws of the market economy, using labor productivity increases as the basis for salary raises; meet the requirements of international integration; have a suitable roadmap aligned with the socio-economic development conditions and resources of the country.
- In the public sector, the State pays salaries to officials and public employees and the armed forces based on job position, title, and leadership position, appropriate with the State's resources and public service and economic revenue, ensuring a reasonable correlation with market labor salaries; implementing policies for appropriate rewards according to labor productivity, creating motivation to improve the quality and efficiency of work, public ethic, and professional ethics, contributing to the cleanliness and enhancement of the efficiency and effectiveness of the political system.
- In the enterprise sector, salary is the price of labor, formed based on the agreement between the worker and the employer according to the market mechanism under state management. The State regulates the minimum wage as the lowest floor to protect vulnerable workers while also being one of the bases for negotiating salaries and regulating the labor market. Wage distribution is based on labor results and business performance, ensuring harmonious, stable, and progressive labor relations within enterprises.
- Salary policy reform is an objective requirement, an important task, requiring high political determination in building socialist rule of law and completing the socialist-oriented market economy institution; promoting administrative reform; restructuring the organizational apparatus of the political system to be streamlined, efficient, and effective, downsizing personnel; innovating the organization and management system, improving the quality and efficiency of public service providers.
