How to use

Enter your average salary over the last 6 months, the type of birth (single or multiple), and the base salary for social insurance (BHXH). The calculator will automatically determine the number of leave months you are entitled to, your monthly benefit, the one-time allowance per child, and your total maternity benefit.

This tool is essential for expectant mothers in Vietnam to estimate their financial support from Social Insurance. Employers and HR departments can also use this to give clear guidance to employees, ensuring smooth transitions and accurate financial planning during the maternity period.

Please note that the final amounts paid by the social insurance agency may vary slightly based on exact contribution records. Always verify your records with your local BHXH office to get the precise numbers and confirm your eligibility status.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is maternity leave in Vietnam?

Female employees are entitled to a standard 6 months of maternity leave regardless of whether it is a single or multiple birth. This leave period can start up to 2 months before the expected due date.

What is the one-time birth allowance?

Upon giving birth, the mother (or father if the mother is not covered by BHXH) receives a one-time allowance equal to 2 times the BHXH base salary per child. In 2025, with a base salary of 2,340,000 VND, this equals 4,680,000 VND per child.

What are the eligibility requirements for maternity benefit?

The employee must have actively contributed to the compulsory social insurance (BHXH) system for at least 6 months within the 12-month period immediately before giving birth or adopting a child. The benefit is completely paid by BHXH, not the employer.

What happens if I have twins or triplets?

For twins or multiple births, the mother is legally entitled to an additional 1 month of leave for every child calculated from the second child onwards. Furthermore, the one-time birth allowance is multiplied based on the total number of children born.
