Salary and Compensation
Below review the salary and compensation based on
Vietnam’s current averages.
Salary
Most salaries range from 360,000 VND-580,000 VND per hour.
There are very few centers that pay a flat salary (guaranteed salary, including paid holidays).
Some centers pay (net) with no income tax. Some centers pay (gross) and take out a 10% income tax. The 360,000 VND salary would apply to an foreign teacher with no experience; they would just need a 2-or-4-year university degree in any subject.
Foreign Teacher Compensation
Hourly Contracts: Most centers only pay hourly. Centers will give contracts to foreign teachers for guaranteed hours per week. However, holidays, testing, school events, and other items excluded.
Living Expenses: Very few centers will compensate for housing, medical insurance, transportation, food, and holiday. They usually won’t give foreign teachers anything extra.
