Uniform budget for a finance company: cost per employee
How to budget uniforms for a finance company by role: credit officers, customer care, starting prices per category and yearly top-ups for new hires.
A uniform budget for a finance company should be built role by role rather than from one average figure: which items each role wears, how many people, which starting price applies, and then an allowance for top-ups when new staff join. Mon Amie Uniform publishes starting prices by category; real prices are fixed in the proposal after the survey, and depend on fabric, style and quantity. So this article shows how to build the framework rather than quoting a single "per employee" figure for every case.
The finance team's question: what per head per year?
HR often hears this at budget time: the chief accountant wants one line, "uniforms: how much per person per year". It sounds reasonable, but a single number is hard to give, because within one finance company credit officers who meet borrowers, customer care staff at counters and managers dress differently. Each role uses different items, and each item has its own starting price and minimum quantity.
A more honest answer is to split by role, then total it at the end using the finance team's own addition on real quotations, not on starting prices.
A uniform budget has three layers
- First order: uniforms for every current employee. This is the large item, with each person measured once.
- Yearly top-up: for new hires. Each is measured individually and the garment is made to the approved sample, so it matches the existing team in cloth and colour. Measurements of people already measured are stored under their employee ID, so they are not measured again for later orders.
- Alterations: alterations are covered by the free 3-year warranty at every showroom. Ask about the exact scope during consultation.

Starting prices by category, read correctly
The price list shows a starting price for each category. It is not the price of a set, and certainly not the price of a particular shirt or trouser. Actual prices depend on fabric, style and quantity.
| Category | From | Minimum quantity | Often considered for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's business suits | 3,000,000 VND | 5 sets | Managers, department heads |
| Women's business suits | 1,500,000 VND | 5 sets | Managers, department heads |
| Waistcoat | 600,000 VND | 5 | Client-facing staff |
| Men's shirt | 600,000 VND | 20 | Credit, customer care |
| Women's shirt | 480,000 VND | 20 | Credit, customer care |
| Trousers and skirts | 600,000 VND | 20 | Credit, customer care |
| Accessories (ties, scarves) | 150,000 VND | 20 | A shared look across the team |
Each row is a separate item. The "often considered for" column is only a suggestion; who wears what ultimately follows each company's own dress policy.
A five-step framework
- List the roles and headcount. For example credit, customer care, management. Note men and women separately if they dress differently.
- Choose items for each role. Credit staff might take shirts plus trousers or skirts; managers add a jacket.
- Look up the starting price and minimum quantity of each item in the table above.
- Keep each line separate. Shirts and trousers or skirts are two independent items, each with its own headcount, quantity and unit price. Do not merge them into a "set price".
- Replace starting prices with real ones when the proposal arrives after the survey. That proposal includes a price range based on the fabrics and styles you choose.

Costs that are easy to miss
- Budget timing: allow 4–6 weeks after sample approval for measuring, making and delivery. If you need uniforms by a certain quarter, plan sample approval early.
- Minimum quantities: each category has its own. How they apply to a given order will be explained during consultation; if you have several branches, tell us so we can advise.
- Matching accessories: ties and scarves are small items, but they multiply with headcount, so give them their own line.
- Other items: shipping fees, deposit terms and invoicing depend on the contract, and Mon Amie Uniform will confirm them during consultation.

From planned budget to real quotation
Once you have a role-based framework, leave your needs on the quote page or call 0888.111.118, and Mon Amie Uniform will arrange a survey. The proposal after the survey carries a matching price range, which replaces starting prices with real figures in your budget table.
Frequently asked questions
Can uniform cost per employee be estimated with one number?
It is better not to, because each role wears different items and each item has its own starting price and minimum quantity. A sturdier approach is to split by role and wait for a proposal with a price range.
Is the starting price in the table the price of a full set?
No. It is the starting price for each category, as shown on the price list. Real prices depend on fabric, style and quantity, and are fixed in the proposal after the survey.
How do we plan for new hires each year?
Keep a yearly top-up line. New staff are measured individually and the garment is made to the approved sample, so it matches the existing team. Measurements of people already measured are stored under their employee ID for later orders.
How do minimum quantities affect the budget?
Each category has its own minimum, for example jackets and waistcoats from 5, and shirts, trousers, skirts and accessories from 20. If a single order is smaller than that, tell us so we can advise.
