Taxable income per month = 120 million VND: 12 months = 10 million VND/month
Average payable tax per month = (5 million VND x 5%) + (5 million VND x 10%) = 0.75 million VND
Tax of the whole year = 0.75 VND x 12 months = 9 million VND
Example 4: Taxable income from wages, salaries of Mr. B in 2011 was 36 million VND.
- Average taxable income per month of Mr. B is: 36 million VND: 12 months = 3 million VND.
- The income tax payable = (3 million VND x 5%) x 12 months = 1.8 million VND

Average taxable income per month: 78 million VND: 12 months = 6.5 million VND
Average monthly payable tax: (5 million VND x 5%) + (6.5 million VND - 5 million VND) x 10% = 0.4 million VND
Taxes payable in 2011: 0.4 million VND x 12 months = 4.8 million VND
Total tax deducted of 12 months is 4.5 million VND

Taxable income in 2011: 150 million VND - 48 million VND = 102 million VND
Average taxable income per month: 102 million VND: 12 months = 8.5 million VND
Average personal income tax payable per month: (5 million VND x 5%) + (8.5 million VND - 5 million VND) x 10% = 0.6 million VND
Personal income tax payable for the whole year: 0.6 million VND x 12 months = 7.2 million VND

Taxable income of Mr. E (10 months) in 2011: 100 million VND - 40 million VND = 60 million VND
Average taxable income per month in 2011: 60 million VND: 10 months = 6 million VND
Average personal income tax payable per month: (5 million VND x 5%) + (1 million VND x 10%) = 0.35 million VND
