What is Vietnam's regional minimum wage in 2027 under Decree 399/2026/ND-CP?

The 2027 regional minimum wage in Vietnam is VND 5,700,000/month (Region I), VND 5,080,000/month (Region II), VND 4,450,000/month (Region III) and VND 4,040,000/month (Region IV); the hourly rates are VND 27,400, 24,400, 21,400 and 19,400, under Article 3(1) of Decree 399/2026/ND-CP, effective from 1 January 2027.

Region IV has the highest percentage increase (9.2%). The gap between Region I and Region IV rises slightly in absolute terms, from VND 1,610,000 to VND 1,660,000, but narrows as a percentage, from 43.5% to 41.1% of the Region IV rate. The hourly rate rises by VND 1,400–1,900, or 7.0–9.0%.

When does Decree 399/2026/ND-CP take effect and what does it replace?

Decree 399/2026/ND-CP takes effect on 1 January 2027 and replaces Decree 293/2025/ND-CP of 10 November 2025, which ceases to apply from that date (Article 5(1), Article 5(2)). The January 2027 payroll is the first payroll to which the new rates must be applied.

The Decree was issued under Law on Government Organisation No. 63/2025/QH15, Law on Local Government Organisation No. 72/2025/QH15 and the 2019 Labour Code No. 45/2019/QH14. The digitally signed document was timestamped 21:11 on 2 November 2026; the signatory was Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra, acting on behalf of the Government and signing in place of the Prime Minister.

What articles does Decree 399/2026/ND-CP contain?

Decree 399/2026/ND-CP contains 5 articles and 1 annex. The content of each article is summarised in the table below.

How does Decree 399 differ from Decree 293/2025?

Decree 399 differs from Decree 293/2025 on three points: higher monthly and hourly minimum wages, a new effective date of 1 January 2027, and the reclassification of certain areas in 7 localities into a higher region. The rules for determining the region and the conversion formulas for weekly, daily, output and lump-sum wages are unchanged from 2026.

Compared with the Ministry of Home Affairs draft released in July 2026, the wage rates are unchanged but the published decree moves more areas up: the entire remaining area of Ho Chi Minh City and Hai Phong moves to Region II, Quang Ninh no longer has any Region IV areas, and Quy Nhon and Pleiku move to Region II. Point c of Article 3(3) also adds special economic zones, free trade zones and high-tech agricultural zones to the group of zones that apply the highest rate.

Which areas are moved to a higher minimum-wage region from 1 January 2027?

From 1 January 2027, 71 named communes, wards and special zones move to a higher region, along with the entire remaining portion of Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh and Hung Yen; other provinces and cities retain the same regions as 2026. The table below compares the annex to Decree 399/2026/ND-CP with the annex to Decree 293/2025/ND-CP.

For businesses with factories, warehouses or shops in these areas, the floor rises twice: once from the new rate and once from the region upgrade. For example, a position in Cam My commune (Dong Nai) was subject to the Region II rate of VND 4,730,000 in 2026; from 1 January 2027 it is subject to Region I at VND 5,700,000, an increase of VND 970,000/month (20.5%).

Which region covers Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Binh Duong and Dong Nai in 2027?

In 2027, most of Ho Chi Minh City (including the former Binh Duong and Ba Ria – Vung Tau provinces) falls in Region I, with the remainder in Region II; Hanoi has 104 communes and wards in Region I, with the rest in Region II; Dong Nai has all four regions from Region I to Region IV. The table below counts the communes, wards and special zones listed by name in each region; specific names can be found in the full list at the end of this article.

How is the minimum-wage region determined by the place of work?

The minimum-wage region is determined by where the employer operates: each unit or branch operating in an area applies the minimum wage for that area, not one rate based on the head office (Article 3(3)(a), Article 3(3)(b) of Decree 399/2026/ND-CP). Article 3(3) sets out 5 principles:

• Point a: an employer operating in an area applies the minimum wage set for that area.
• Point b: units and branches in areas with different rates each apply the rate for the area where they operate.
• Point c: a unit in an industrial park, export processing zone, high-tech zone, concentrated digital technology zone, special economic zone, free trade zone or high-tech agricultural zone that spans areas with different rates applies the highest rate among them.
• Point d: where an area is renamed or split, the rate of the area before renaming or splitting applies temporarily until the Government issues new rules.
• Point e: where a new area is formed from one or more areas with different rates, the highest rate among them applies temporarily until the Government issues new rules.

For seconded or outsourced workers doing their work at a client's factory, Nhan Kiet determines the region by where the worker actually works and keeps a lookup record for each site for inspection purposes.

How are weekly, daily, output and lump-sum wages converted to check against the minimum wage?

Weekly, daily, output or lump-sum wages must be converted to a monthly or hourly figure and must not fall below the regional monthly or hourly minimum wage; the normal working hours used for the conversion are chosen by the employer in accordance with labour law (Article 4(3) of Decree 399/2026/ND-CP). The specific formulas are in the table below.

For example, in Region I in 2027: a daily wage of VND 220,000, 26 working days a month, 8 hours a day. Monthly conversion: 220,000 × 26 = VND 5,720,000, above VND 5,700,000, so valid. Hourly conversion: 220,000 ÷ 8 = VND 27,500, above VND 27,400, so also valid. If the daily wage were only VND 215,000, the monthly conversion would be VND 5,590,000, below the Region I minimum.

Who does the monthly and hourly minimum wage apply to?

The monthly minimum wage is the floor for employees paid by the month who work full normal hours and meet output norms, while the hourly minimum wage is the floor for employees paid by the hour (Article 4(1), Article 4(2)). Both apply to all employees working under an employment contract under the Labour Code (Article 2(1)), including part-time, seasonal and probationary workers employed under an employment contract.

People working under a services contract, a civil lump-sum contract or another agreement that is not an employment contract fall outside the scope of the Decree. However, under Article 13 of the 2019 Labour Code, an agreement that is given a different name but involves paid work under the management, direction and supervision of another party is still an employment contract, and the minimum wage must be paid accordingly.

Must employers pay trained workers at least 7% above the minimum wage?

Decree 399/2026/ND-CP does not reintroduce a statutory requirement to pay 7% above the minimum wage, but Article 5(3) preserves arrangements that are more favourable and were committed to in employment contracts, collective labour agreements or other lawful agreements, unless the parties agree otherwise. The examples listed include:

• Jobs and titles requiring training or vocational education: at least 7% above the minimum wage.
• Jobs with heavy, hazardous or dangerous working conditions: at least 5% above.
• Jobs that are especially heavy, hazardous or dangerous: at least 7% above a job of equivalent complexity under normal conditions.

Businesses that have written these levels into contracts or pay scales must continue to pay the higher amount calculated on the new minimum, for example in Region I: VND 5,700,000 × 107% = VND 6,099,000/month.

What other items change when the regional minimum wage rises?

When the regional minimum wage rises from 1 January 2027, businesses must adjust at least four items: the lowest wage in each contract, the hourly wage for part-time workers, the unemployment insurance cap, and any allowances in pay regulations that are linked to the minimum wage.

The unemployment insurance cap equals 20 times the regional minimum wage under the 2025 Employment Law (No. 74/2025/QH15), so from 1 January 2027 it is VND 114,000,000 (Region I), VND 101,600,000 (Region II), VND 89,000,000 (Region III) and VND 80,800,000 (Region IV). The social insurance and health insurance cap does not change with the minimum wage, because it is based on the reference level (VND 50,600,000 from 1 July 2026).

What is the penalty for paying below the regional minimum wage?

Paying below the minimum wage carries a fine of VND 20–30 million (1–10 employees), VND 30–50 million (11–50 employees) and VND 50–75 million (51 or more) under Article 23(3) of Decree 283/2026/ND-CP; a business, as an organisation, is fined double under Article 7(1), i.e. VND 40–60, 60–100 and 100–150 million.

The business is also required to pay the full wage shortfall plus interest at the highest non-term deposit rate published by state-owned commercial banks at the time of the penalty (Article 23(5)(a) of Decree 283/2026/ND-CP). A wage shortfall also results in under-paid insurance on the contribution base.

What must businesses do before 1 January 2027?

Businesses must review employment contracts, collective labour agreements and pay regulations and adjust them accordingly, and must not remove or reduce overtime pay, night-work pay, in-kind allowances or other entitlements required by labour law (Article 5(3) of Decree 399/2026/ND-CP). The checklist Nhan Kiet uses when preparing the year-start payroll:

• Check the region of every workplace against the new list, prioritising the 7 localities with areas moved to a higher region.
• Raise every monthly or hourly wage below the new rate; convert daily and output pay under Article 4(3).
• Recalculate levels committed above the minimum wage (7%, 5%) and any allowances linked to the minimum wage.
• Update the insurance contribution base and the new unemployment insurance cap in the payroll software.
• Issue contract annexes or wage-rise decisions and notify employees before the January 2027 payroll.

How does the regional minimum wage differ from the base salary and the reference level?

The regional minimum wage is the floor for wages paid to employees working under an employment contract at businesses and entities that hire workers, while the base salary is used for calculating wages in the public sector and the reference level is used in the social insurance formula. The three figures are independent of each other: Decree 399/2026/ND-CP only changes the regional minimum wage.

Minimum wage by region for 2026, how to look up the region, and insurance contribution examples are in the article Vietnam minimum wage – latest rates; the cost of a position by region can be estimated quickly with the Vietnam salary calculator.
