According to Article 3 of Decree 73/2024/ND-CP of Vietnam's Government, the statutory pay rate used to calculate the salary for teachers is as follows:

Statutory pay ate

1. The statutory pay rate is used as a basis to:

a) Calculate the salary in the salary tables, allowance levels, and implement other policies according to the provisions of the law for the subjects stipulated in Article 2 of this Decree;

b) Calculate operational expenses, living expenses according to the provisions of the law;

c) Calculate deductions and benefits based on the statutory pay rate.

2. From July 1, 2024, the statutory pay rate is 2,340,000 VND/month.

3. For agencies and units currently applying special financial and income mechanisms at the central level: Continue to retain the difference between the salary and additional income in June 2024 of officials and public employees and the salary from July 1, 2024, after the amendment or abolition of special financial and income mechanisms. During the period that these mechanisms have not been amended or abolished, implement the monthly salary and additional income based on the statutory pay rate of 2,340,000 VND/month according to the special mechanism starting from July 1, 2024, ensuring not to exceed the salary and additional income enjoyed in June 2024 (excluding the difference due to salary coefficient adjustments upon rank upgrade or step increase). If according to this principle, the salary and additional income from July 1, 2024, according to the special mechanism, are lower than the salary according to the general regulations, then implement the salary policies according to the 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's capacity, consumer price index, and economic growth rate of the country.

- Calculate operational expenses, living expenses according to the provisions of the law;

- Calculate deductions and benefits based on the statutory pay rate.
