FAQ

Why is the minimum 264,000 VND a month?

22 % × 1,500,000 = 330,000 VND, minus the 20 % state support (66,000 VND) for people outside the supported groups.

Which provinces add their own support?

Hà Nội, TP.HCM, Hải Phòng and Đà Nẵng are on file (see coverage); other provinces get the national rules only.

What rate is used for paying years ahead?

The fund’s average monthly investment return of the previous year published by BHXH VN; pass rate to override it.
