Vietnamese Dong (VND) to USD — Vietnam Parallel Market Rate

By the ETCurrency rates deskUpdated hourly from P2P & exchange-market dataHow we calculate rates

As of June 6, 2026, one US dollar costs about 26,422 VND on the Vietnam parallel market, so the Vietnamese Dong is worth roughly $0.00004 each. In practical terms, 1,000 VND ≈ $0.03785 and 100,000 VND ≈ $3.78 at the street rate, versus the official State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) rate of about 26,223 VND per dollar.

Vietnam manages the dong within a narrow band, so the parallel premium is usually small and closely tied to the local gold market.

How much is the Vietnamese Dong worth in US dollars today?

Because the parallel market prices the dollar at about 26,422 VND, you divide any Vietnamese Dong amount by that figure to get its dollar value. For example, 10,000 VND ≈ $0.37848, 50,000 VND ≈ $1.89, and 1,000,000 VND ≈ $37.85. At the official rate the same Vietnamese Dong would convert to slightly more dollars on paper — but only if you can actually access dollars at that rate.

This is why the parallel rate matters for anyone holding Vietnamese Dong: it shows the real, market-clearing dollar value rather than an official rate that may be hard to obtain.

Why the VND to USD street rate differs from the bank

When you convert Vietnamese Dong to dollars at a bank, you get the official State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) rate — if dollars are available. On the parallel market the dollar is dearer, driven by factors such as a tightly managed dong, gold-market linkages, trade-surplus dynamics, so each Vietnamese Dong fetches fewer dollars there.

Today that difference is a very small premium of roughly 0.9%. The larger this gap, the more the official rate overstates what your Vietnamese Dong is really worth in dollars.
