From July 1, 2026, due to the base salary increase from 2,340,000 VND to 2,530,000 VND/month, the salary of preschool teachers also increased correspondingly by about 8.12% (Decree 161/2026/ND-CP).
For example, grade III and grade 1 kindergarten teachers increased from 4,914,000 VND to 5,313,000 VND, an increase of 399,000 VND/month.
Grade II, grade 1 kindergarten teachers increased from 5,475,600 VND to 5,920,200 VND, an increase of 444,600 VND/month.
Grade I kindergarten teachers grade 8 increased from 14,929,200 VND to 16,141,400 VND, an increase of 1,212,200 VND/month.
In addition to the salary according to the coefficient, public preschool teachers can also enjoy the following benefits if they meet the conditions:
Professional preferential allowance.
Leadership position allowance (if any).
Regional allowances, attraction allowances, and long-term work allowances in areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions.
Bonuses and other benefits according to the provisions of law.
Therefore, the actual income of preschool teachers may be significantly higher than the salary in the table below:
Formula for calculating salary and allowances from July 1.
Implemented salary from 1. 7 (according to the base salary)
Salary = 2. 530,000 VND x current salary coefficient
Allowance (calculated according to the base salary level)
Implemented allowance level from 1. 7 = 2. 530,000 VND x current allowance coefficient
Allowance (calculated according to the current salary percentage)
Income level = [wage level implemented from 1. 7 + leadership position allowance level implemented from 1. 7 (if any) + seniority allowance exceeding the frame implemented from 1. 7 (if any)] x percentage% of allowance enjoyed
Thus, if based on the above formula and the current salary coefficient of preschool teachers, the preschool teacher salary scale when applying the base salary level is 2,530,000 VND/month, from July 1, 2026 as below (excluding allowances).
