The 2024 WID-based median annual income in Vietnam is VND 82,528,809, or VND 6,877,401 when divided by 12. The annual top-1% entry threshold is VND 932,828,465. These are pre-tax national-income estimates for equal-split adults aged 20+, not employee salaries or household incomes.
Median income, average salary and income percentiles
The median is the 50th-percentile boundary, with half of adults below it and half above. The imported dataset contains percentile thresholds, not an arithmetic mean. Averaging these boundaries does not produce an average salary. A top-1% threshold is the entry boundary, not the average income of the richest 1%.

How is it calculated?
Annual pre-tax national income for equal-split adults aged 20+. This WID concept is broader than salary. Country rank uses local thresholds; worldwide rank uses WID purchasing-power conversion. We use logarithmic interpolation between points and extrapolation outside them.
This estimate is outside the published threshold range; it uses extrapolation and is more uncertain.
Amounts use each country's own currency and data year. This is a rank comparison, not an exchange-rate, cost-of-living or relocation estimate.

Compare adult median income
Vietnam’s VND thresholds describe pre-tax national income, including income beyond employee wages. They cannot calculate Vietnamese income tax or a foreign worker’s net salary. Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines provide selected regional comparisons in USD PPP.
| Country | Median (USD PPP) | Income / PPP year |
|---|---|---|
| Vietnam | 11,880.08 | 2024 / 2024 |
| Thailand | 11,135.46 | 2024 / 2024 |
| Malaysia | 31,707.16 | 2024 / 2024 |
| Philippines | 9,677.78 | 2024 / 2024 |
The top-10% threshold is 3.2 times the median; the top-1% threshold is 11.3 times the median. These ratios compare income boundaries, not shares of total income.
Sources and interpretation
Monthly equivalents divide annual income by 12; they are not take-home pay. PPP compares national price levels, not current exchange rates or personal living costs. WID estimates may be revised.
