Bangladesh salary tax calculator (বেতনের আয়কর, 2026-27)

How বেতনের আয়কর (income tax on salary) in Bangladesh is calculated

The income year runs from **1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027** and is assessed in tax year 2027-28. The **Finance Act 2026** (Act 96, s.160 and Schedule 2 Part 1 para (ক)) sets one table for tax years 2026-27 and 2027-28: **0%** on the first ৳4,00,000, then **10%** on the next ৳3,00,000, **15%** on the next ৳4,00,000, **20%** on the next ৳5,00,000, **25%** on the next ৳20,00,000 and **30%** on the rest. The tax-free threshold is ৳4,50,000 for women and people aged 65 or over, ৳5,25,000 for people with a disability and third-gender taxpayers, and ৳5,50,000 for gazetted war-wounded freedom fighters and gazetted July fighters injured in 2024; a parent of a child or dependant with a disability adds ৳50,000 per child (one parent only).

Before the table, **one-third of income from employment, at most ৳5,00,000**, is exempt (Income Tax Act 2023, Sixth Schedule Part 1 para 27, raised from ৳4.5 lakh by Act 89 of 2026). Section 78 then gives a rebate of the least of **3%** of taxable income, **10%** of eligible investment — your recognised provident fund contribution, savings certificates, DPS, life insurance premiums — and **৳7,50,000** (the last two cut by the Finance Act 2026). Once taxable income passes the threshold the tax is at least **৳5,000**, or ৳1,000 on a first return.

On **৳1,00,000 a month** with ৳5,000 a month into the provident fund and ৳40,000 of other investment, the year’s ৳12,00,000 less the ৳4,00,000 exemption leaves ৳8,00,000 taxable. Tax is ৳30,000 + ৳15,000 = **৳45,000**, the rebate is 10% of ৳1,00,000 = ৳10,000, so you pay **৳35,000** — and take home **৳92,083.33** a month after the tax and your own provident fund share. Resident individuals only; the wealth surcharge (net wealth over ৳4 crore, a second car or a home over 8,000 sq ft) and other income are not modelled. Estimate, not tax advice.
