Example 1a: Mr. Nguyen Van A was enlisted in March 1973, transferred to civil servant status in the defense sector in March 1986, transferred back to military status in September 1989, and transferred again to civil servant status in the defense sector in September 1993.

According to regulations, starting from May 1, 2010, Mr. D's working period for calculating benefits was adjusted to 24 years and 5 months (from May 1969 to September 1993), corresponding to a percentage of the pension salary of 64%.

2. The monthly pension stipulated in Clause 1, Article 3, Decree No. 159/2006/NĐ-CP shall be implemented as follows

Military personnel who have a working period as prescribed in Clause 1, Section II of this Circular, having at least 15 years of service calculated as 45% of the average monthly salary basis for social insurance contributions (BHXH); thereafter, for each additional year of contribution, an additional 2% is added for males and 3% for females. The maximum monthly pension rate is 75% of the average monthly salary basis for social insurance contributions.

Example 1: Mr. Le Van Kim, Major, Battalion Commander, born in 1952, enlisted in September 1970, served 23 years and 5 months in the military; discharged in February 1994; now receiving monthly pension benefits, the calculation of the pension ratio is as follows:

- 15 years = 45%;

- From the 16th to the 23rd year (8 years): 2% x 8 (years) = 16%;

- Five months of partial service are calculated additionally: 2% x 0.5 = 1%;

- Mr. Kim's pension ratio is: 45% + 16% + 1% = 62%.

Example 2: Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha, Major, born in 1943, enlisted in January 1961, served 20 years and 1 month in the military; discharged in February 1981; now receiving monthly pension benefits, the calculation of the pension ratio is as follows:

- 15 years = 45%;

- From the 16th to the 20th year (5 years): 3% x 5 (years) = 15%;

- Ms. Ha's pension ratio is: 45% + 15% = 60%.

3. ^[6] Monthly salary used as the basis for calculating the pension

a) The monthly salary used as the basis for calculating the pension includes rank pay, grade pay, seniority allowance, and position allowance (if any) in the last five years before discharge, retirement, resignation, or transfer to another profession; or before transferring to a veteran care center under the Ministry of Home Affairs ^[7] is converted into salary coefficients and allowances as specified in Decree No. 25/CP dated May 23, 1993 of the Government on the temporary regulations of new salary system for civil servants, public officials, and armed forces personnel (the salary coefficient for a Professional Sergeant rank is 3.0). The minimum monthly salary for calculating the pension is 290,000 VND.

Example 3: Mr. Le Van Kim (as mentioned in Example 1) is now receiving monthly pension benefits; the salary progression in the last five years (60 months) of Mr. Kim is as follows:

- From February 1989 to July 1991 (30 months) at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (coefficient 4.15); seniority 20%; position allowance for Battalion Commander (coefficient 0.35).

(290,000 VND x 4.15 x 1.20 x 30) ^th ) + (290,000 VND x 0.35 x 30 ^th ) = 46,371,000 VND.

- From August 1991 to January 1994 (30 months) at the rank of Major (coefficient 4.80); seniority 23%; position allowance as Battalion Commander (coefficient 0.35).

(290,000 VND x 4.80 x 1.23 x 30 ^th ) + (290,000 VND x 0.35 x 30 ^th ) = 54,409,800 VND.

Mr. Kim's base salary for calculating the pension is:

(46,371,000 VND + 54,409,800 VND) / 60 months = 1,679,680 VND/month.

Mr. Kim's monthly pension calculation up to October 1, 2004, is: 1,679,680 VND x 62% = 1,041,402 VND/month.

b) For cases where the salary period is less than five years (60 months), the monthly salary basis for calculating the pension is the average of the total number of months of salary.

Example 4: Mr. Nguyen Van Hien, born in 1940, enlisted in January 1958, served 20 years and 2 months in the military; discharged in March 1978; promoted to Second Lieutenant in May 1974; promoted to First Lieutenant in May 1976.

Calculation of the base salary for calculating the pension of Mr. Hien is:

- From May 1974 to April 1976 is 24 months; rank of Second Lieutenant, salary coefficient 3.0; seniority 18%.

290,000 VND x 3.0 x 1.18 x 24 ^th = 24,638,400 VND.

- From May 1976 to February 1978 is 22 months; seniority 20%.

290,000 VND x 3.20 x 1.20 x 22 ^th = 24,499,200 VND.

The average base salary for calculating the pension is:

(24,638,400 VND + 24,499,200 VND) : 46 ^th = 1,068,208 VND/month.

c) For those who transferred to civilian defense personnel and then resigned when calculating the pension, it shall be carried out in accordance with the current laws on social insurance as stipulated in Clause 7, Article 34 of Decree No. 68/2007/NĐ-CP dated April 19, 2007 of the Government detailing and guiding the implementation of certain provisions of the Law on Social Insurance regarding mandatory social insurance for military personnel, police officers, and personnel engaged in confidential work with salaries equivalent to those of military personnel and police officers.

d) In exceptional cases, if the file of the subject only proves the final military rank or salary before discharge, retirement, resignation, or transfer, the time holding the military rank according to the Law on Officers of the Vietnam People's Army (1981) or the time holding the salary grade according to the State regulations shall be applied to determine the salary progression in the last five years as the basis for calculating the pension.

1.145.542 dong/month x 1.08 = 1.237.185 dong/month;

1,237,185 VND/month x 1.207 = 1,493,283 VND/month.

- From October 2006 onwards, adjusted according to the provisions of Decree No. 93/2006/NĐ-CP increasing by 8%; Decree No. 94/2006/NĐ-CP increasing by 28.6%:

1,493,283 VND/month x 1.08 = 1,612,745 VND/month;

1.612.745 dong/month x 1.286 = 2.073.990 dong/month.

- The actual pension received by Mr. Kim from January 2007 is 2.073.990 dong/month.

Example 5a: In the case of Mr. Kim (mentioned in Examples 1, 3, and 5), but belonging to the category entitled to monthly retirement benefits starting from May 1, 2010, the calculation of Mr. Kim's pension is as follows:

- From January 1, 2008, adjusted according to the provisions of Decree No. 166/2007/NĐ-CP increasing by 20%:

2.073.990 dong/month x 1.20 = 2.488.788 dong/month.

- From October 2008, adjusted according to the provisions of Decree No. 101/2008/NĐ-CP increasing by 15%:

2.488.788 dong/month x 1.15 = 2.862.106 dong/month.

- From May 2009, adjusted according to the provisions of Decree No. 34/2009/NĐ-CP increasing by 5%:

2.862.106 dong/month x 1.05 = 3.005.211 dong/month.

- From May 2010, adjusted according to the provisions of Decree No. 29/2010/NĐ-CP increasing by 12.3%:

3.005.211 dong/month x 1.123 = 3.374.852 dong/month.

5. Subjects entitled to living expenses (non-commissioned officers - soldiers) shall receive a monthly pension equivalent to the national minimum wage, as prescribed by the Government for each period.
