Many salaries, allowances and contributions in the social security system are policies calculated based on the base salary. If the base salary increases by about 8% from July 1, 2026, the above amounts will be adjusted accordingly.
When the base salary increases, the salaries of cadres, civil servants, public employees and armed forces also increase according to the salary coefficient. Many allowances in the public sector such as position allowances, regional allowances, seniority allowances and some related policies are also adjusted accordingly.
Pensions, allowances for people with meritorious services, social protection allowances and social pension allowances will also be adjusted when the State increases the base salary and related allowance standards. The specific increase of each group will be regulated by the Government in the plan to adjust pensions and allowances.
Some social insurance regimes calculated directly according to the base salary also increase accordingly. One-time maternity allowance for female employees who give birth or employees who adopt children under 6 months old is equal to two times the base salary in the month of birth or adoption.
If the base salary increases to 2.527 million VND, this allowance will increase from 4.68 million VND to about 5.054 million VND per child.
Funeral allowance equal to 10 times the base salary will also increase from 23.4 million VND to about 25.27 million VND. Monthly survivor's allowance for relatives of deceased workers equals 50% of the base salary, equivalent to more than 1.26 million VND per month; in case relatives do not have direct caregivers, they will receive 70% of the base salary, about 1.77 million VND per month.
