Many professionals considering moving from Laos to Vietnam often overlook the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) difference. While a salary in Vietnam might look higher on paper, the cost of living could make it worth less.
Understanding the real value of your income is crucial when negotiating a remote salary or planning a relocation. This calculator helps you determine the equivalent salary you would need in Vietnam to maintain your current standard of living in Laos.
Based on PPP data, the price level in Vietnam is approximately 1.50x that of Laos. This means things are generally more expensive in Vietnam.
You are comparing LAK vs VND. Exchange rates fluctuate daily, but PPP provides a more stable long-term view of economic value and living standards.
