What is the current statutory pay rate for calculating teacher salaries?
According to Article 3 of Decree 73/2024/ND-CP, the statutory pay rate for calculating teacher salaries is as follows:
Statutory Pay Rate
1. The statutory pay rate serves as the basis:
a) To calculate salaries in the salary tables, allowances, and implement other policies as prescribed by law for the subjects stipulated in Article 2 of this Decree;
b) To calculate operational and subsistence expenses as prescribed by law;
c) To calculate deductions and benefits according to the statutory pay rate.
2. From July 01, 2024, the statutory pay rate is 2,340,000 VND/month.
3. For agencies and units applying special financial and income mechanisms at the central level: Maintain the difference between the salary and additional income in June 2024 for officials and public employees and the salary from July 01, 2024, after revising or abolishing special financial and income mechanisms. During the time of not having revised or abolished these mechanisms, monthly salaries and additional incomes based on the statutory pay rate of 2,340,000 VND/month by special mechanisms from July 01, 2024, must not exceed the salaries and additional incomes enjoyed in June 2024 (excluding additional salary and income adjustments due to the adjustment of salary coefficient after promotion or grade increase). If, according to this principle, the salary and additional incomes from July 01, 2024, under special mechanisms are lower than the salary according to the general regulations, the policies on salary will be implemented according to general regulations.
4. The Government of Vietnam adjusts the statutory pay rate after reporting to the National Assembly for consideration and decision, suitable to the state budget capacity, consumer price index, and economic growth rate of the country.
The statutory pay rate used to calculate the salary for teachers currently stands at 2,340,000 VND. This rate serves as the basis for:
- Calculating salaries in the salary tables, allowances, and implementing other policies as prescribed by law for the subjects stipulated in Article 2 of Decree 73/2024/ND-CP;
- Calculating operational and subsistence expenses as prescribed by law;
- Calculating deductions and benefits according to the statutory pay rate.
