New for 2026
5 bands
reformed from 7 bands
2026 reformed PIT: 5 bands, not 7. Vietnam's Personal Income Tax dropped from 7 brackets to 5 for tax year 2026, alongside a higher VND 15.5m/month personal deduction. Models a resident employee, zero dependents. Non-resident flat 20% is out of scope.
2026: 5-band PIT + 10.5% insurance
Personal deduction ₫15.5m/month, then 5%-35% across 5 bands (down from 7 pre-2026). Social (8%) + health (1.5%) + unemployment (1%) insurance deducted first.

Calculations use the 2026 reformed 5-band PIT schedule (Law 109/2025/QH15), the VND 15,500,000/month personal deduction (Resolution 110/2025/UBTVQH15), and 10.5% compulsory employee insurance (social + health + unemployment), for a resident employee with zero dependents. Does not model dependent deductions, the non-resident flat 20% rate, or 13th-month/Tết bonuses. For precise figures, consult a Vietnamese tax professional.
A Vietnam payslip deducts compulsory insurance first: 8% Social Insurance, 1.5% Health Insurance, and 1% Unemployment Insurance, 10.5% combined, applied to a contribution-base salary capped at ₫50,600,000/month from 1 July 2026. Whatever's left, minus the ₫15,500,000/month personal deduction (giảm trừ bản thân), is your taxable income.
That taxable income then runs through the new 2026 progressive schedule: five bands (5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 35%) instead of the old table's seven, per the new Law on Personal Income Tax (Law 109/2025/QH15). Each band is wider than before, so less of a given salary lands in the lowest rates compared to the pre-2026 rules.
What this calculator deliberately leaves out is dependent deductions (₫6,200,000/month each, which would lower your taxable income further if you have dependents) and non-resident status, which is taxed completely differently at a flat 20% with no personal deduction.

The new Law on Personal Income Tax (Law 109/2025/QH15) cut the progressive schedule from seven bands down to five for the 2026 tax year: 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 35%, replacing the old table's finer 5/10/15/20/25/30/35% steps. The top rate stays at 35%, but fewer, wider bands mean less of your income sits in the lowest bracket compared to the old table.
VND 15,500,000 per month (about VND 186,000,000/year) from 1 January 2026, per Resolution 110/2025/UBTVQH15. This is deducted from your gross salary (after insurance) before any tax band applies, and it's separate from the dependent deduction of VND 6,200,000/month per dependent, which this calculator doesn't model (single/no-dependents baseline).
Three components: Social Insurance (8%), Health Insurance (1.5%), and Unemployment Insurance (1%), for 10.5% total on your contribution-base salary. The base is capped, from 1 July 2026 at 20× the new statutory reference level (VND 2,530,000), giving a cap of VND 50,600,000/month, above that, insurance no longer increases even if your salary does.
It applies a single VND 50,600,000/month cap across Social, Health, and Unemployment Insurance for a conservative baseline. In practice, some regional minimum-wage-based caps (particularly for Unemployment Insurance in Zone I areas like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi) can differ slightly, treat this as a close approximation rather than an exact regional figure.
No. This models a Vietnamese tax resident on the progressive PIT schedule. Non-residents are instead taxed at a flat 20% on Vietnam-sourced income, with no personal deduction and no compulsory insurance contribution requirement in most cases, a materially different calculation.
It uses the new 5-band PIT schedule (Law 109/2025/QH15), the VND 15,500,000/month personal deduction (Resolution 110/2025/UBTVQH15), and 2026 compulsory insurance rates and caps, for a resident employee with no dependents. It doesn't model dependent deductions, bonuses, or non-resident status. Always verify with Vietnam's tax authority or a tax professional for precise figures.
