How to calculate the salary of a grade 2 preschool teacher in Vietnam?

According to Article 8 Circular 01/2021/TT-BGDDT, the current salary classification for public preschool teachers, the following applies:

Public employees, who are appointed to the professional titles of preschool teachers stipulated in Circular 01/2021/TT-BGDDT, will apply the corresponding salary table issued in conjunction with Decree 204/2004/ND-CP regarding salary policies for officials and public employees and armed forces. Specifically:

- Grade 3 preschool teacher, code V.07.02.26, will apply the salary coefficient of a public employee of category A0, from a salary coefficient of 2.10 to a salary coefficient of 4.89;

- Grade 2 preschool teacher, code V.07.02.25, will apply the salary coefficient of a public employee of category A1, from a salary coefficient of 2.34 to a salary coefficient of 4.98;

- Grade 1 preschool teacher, code V.07.02.24, will apply the salary coefficient of a public employee of category A2, group A2.2, from a salary coefficient of 4.0 to a salary coefficient of 6.38.

The salary for preschool teachers equals the salary coefficient multiplied by the statutory pay rate. On June 30, 2024, the Government of Vietnam issued Decree 73/2024/ND-CP specifying the statutory pay rate and bonus policies for officials and public employees and armed forces.

The statutory pay rate from July 1, 2024, is 2,340,000 VND/month.

Since a preschool teacher grade 2, code V.07.02.25, applies the salary coefficient of a public employee of category A1, from a salary coefficient of 2.34 to a salary coefficient of 4.98, the salary calculation according to Article 3 Circular 07/2024/TT-BNV is as follows:

Salary = 2,340,000 VND x Salary Coefficient

Thus, the salary for a grade 2 preschool teacher will be = salary coefficient x statutory pay rate.

(Salary = 2,340,000 VND x Salary Coefficient (2.34 to 4.98) = from 5,475,600 VND to 11,653,200 VND)
