Growing a team in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, or across Vietnam benefits from local payroll expertise. Our payroll outsourcing Vietnam service calculates salaries, overtime, allowances, 13th-month pay, BHXH/BHYT/BHTN contributions, and personal income tax (PIT), then produces payslips and supports statutory remittance timelines.
Why Vietnam payroll compliance matters
Employers operating in Vietnam must get BHXH, BHYT, BHTN, and PIT right every month. Errors create penalties, employee disputes, and delayed expansion. Teams usually choose either payroll outsourcing (if they have a local entity) or EOR (to hire without an entity).
Core compliance checklist
- Compulsory insurance: BHXH / BHYT / BHTN monthly calculation and remittance support.
- Personal Income Tax: Progressive PIT for residents (commonly 5%–35%) and residency-aware treatment.
- Labor Code pay items: OT multipliers, leave, probation, and 13th-month practices where applicable.
- Records: Payroll registers, payslips, and declaration archives for audits.
Payroll outsourcing vs EOR in Vietnam
Use payroll outsourcing when you already employ staff under your Vietnam company and need month-end accuracy. Use Employer of Record when you need to hire before incorporation, test the market, or deploy a small team quickly.
Common questions
What are the BHXH contribution rates in Vietnam?
For typical local employees, BHXH is commonly 17.5% employer / 8% employee, BHYT 3% / 1.5%, and BHTN 1% / 1%, subject to ceilings and updates.
Who files BHXH and PIT?
The legal employer (your Vietnam entity or EOR) must calculate, withhold, and remit. We operate these workflows in outsourcing or EOR models.
Can we outsource without a Vietnam company?
Yes — use our EOR service to employ and pay people compliantly without incorporating yet.
