3.2. Lump-sum Social Insurance Calculation Formula

Lump-sum social insurance is a benefit that SI participants are entitled to after one year of unemployment or cessation of SI contributions, and in some other special cases.

The lump-sum SI benefit is calculated based on the number of years of SI contributions and is divided into two periods, before and after 2014, as follows:

  • The lump-sum SI benefit is equal to 1.5 months of the average monthly salary subject to SI contributions for the years before 2014
  • The lump-sum SI benefit is equal to 2 months of the average monthly salary subject to SI contributions for the years from 2014 onwards

Based on the regulations above, the formula for calculating the lump-sum SI benefit is as follows:

Example:

Mr. A has contributed to social insurance for 6 years and 3 months, with an average salary of 4,500,000 VND. Mr. A contributed to social insurance from 11/2011 to 01/2018. Specifically:

  • Before 2014, Mr. A contributed for 2 years and 2 months. The 2 months contributed before 2014 will be transferred to the post-2014 contribution period.
  • After 2014, Mr. A contributed for 4 years and 1 month, plus the 2 odd months transferred from before 2014, totaling 4 years and 3 months.

Mr. A’s lump-sum SI benefit is:

=(4.500.000 x 2 x 1,5) + (4.500.000 x 4,5 x 2) = 54.000.000

If an employee has contributed to social insurance for less than one year, the lump-sum social insurance benefit will be 22% of the monthly salary on which contributions were based, with a maximum benefit equal to two months of the average monthly salary on which contributions were based.
