The basic salary in 2025 is 2.34 million VND.
Currently, the salary coefficient of a lieutenant colonel of the People's Public Security is 7.3.
Thus, the salary of the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the People's Public Security in 2025 is calculated as: 7.3 × 2.34 million VND = 17.08 million VND/month.
The salary does not include other allowances and subsidies.
According to Conclusion 83-KL/TW, the Politburo assigned the Central Economic Commission to preside over the preliminary review of the implementation of Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018, coordinate with relevant agencies to study and evaluate the feasibility of the system of 5 new salary tables and 9 new allowance regimes in the public sector.
This is to prepare a proposal to submit to the Central Committee for consideration after 2026, when the Politburo issues and implements the system of Job Position Lists in the political system.
One of the key contents of salary reform according to Resolution 27-NQ/TW is to abolish the basic salary and salary coefficient and replace them with a specific salary level according to the new salary table.
According to sub-section 3, section 2 of this resolution, salaries are designed according to the following structure: Salary = Basic salary (about 70% of total salary fund) + Allowances (about 30% of total salary fund).
The new salary structure of police lieutenant colonels includes:
Basic salary: Occupying about 70% of the total salary fund, the largest part of the salary level, determined based on qualifications, working experience and working position.
Allowances: Account for about 30% of the total salary fund, including position allowances, seniority allowances, special allowances for the public security sector and other allowances related to working conditions.
Bonuses: Expected to be about 10% of total annual salary fund, including bonuses based on performance, outstanding achievements and special contributions.
