Frequently Asked Questions

What annual return should I use?

A conservative estimate for a diversified portfolio in Vietnam is 6–8% per year. Stock market indices have historically returned 8–10% long-term, but Vietnamese markets can be more volatile. Use 5–6% for a conservative projection and 8–10% for an optimistic one.

How much should I save for retirement in Vietnam?

A common rule of thumb is to save 10–15% of your gross income for retirement. The 2 billion VND default target represents roughly 10–15 years of average living expenses. Adjust based on your expected lifestyle, healthcare costs, and whether you will receive a state pension.

Does this account for inflation?

No — this calculator uses nominal returns. To account for inflation, subtract the expected inflation rate from your annual return. For example, if you expect 7% returns and 4% inflation, use 3% as your real return rate.

What happens if I enter incorrect numbers into this calculator?

If you input incorrect numbers, the final results will not reflect your true situation. We recommend double-checking your figures with your financial records before making any major decisions. This ensures accuracy and helps avoid costly mistakes.
