According to Resolution 185/2023 issued by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council on the state budget revenue and expenditure estimates for 2024, the maximum additional income coefficient applicable for 2024 is 1.5 times higher than the salary scale and position.

Accordingly, the formula for calculating the monthly additional income of general education teachers in Ho Chi Minh City, when completing their tasks excellently, is calculated as follows:

Additional income/month = Salary coefficient + Position allowance coefficient (if any) x 2,340,000 VND (basic salary) x 1.5 (additional income coefficient).

Of which 2,340,000 VND is the current basic salary (effective from July 1, 2024).
