Bangladesh income tax calculator 2026-27
Bangladesh taxes personal income progressively. For Bangladesh Tax Year 2026-27, the first 400,000 BDT of annual income is taxed at 0%, and the top rate is 30%. Only the slice of income inside each band is taxed at that band's rate — a raise never leaves you worse off.
The Finance Act 2026 itself is confirmed on NBR's own site (Act No. 96 of 2026, gazetted 30 June 2026), but its individual income-tax schedule is not machine-readable in that PDF, and NBR has not yet published a 2026-27 Paripatra. These slabs come from two independent professional reproductions that agree exactly, plus press confirmation of the Bill's passage on 29 June 2026. Treat them as reliable but not statute-checked, and confirm with NBR or a Bangladeshi tax practitioner before acting on a large amount.

Common questions
How much is income tax in Bangladesh for 2026-27?
It is progressive. The first 400,000 BDT of annual income is taxed at 0%, then each band above it is taxed at its own rate, up to 30% on income above 3,600,000 BDT.
What is the tax-free income limit in Bangladesh?
400,000 BDT a year for Bangladesh Tax Year 2026-27. Income below that attracts no income tax.
If I move into a higher bracket, is my whole salary taxed at the higher rate?
No. Only the portion of income inside that band is taxed at that band's rate. Earning one unit more never reduces take-home pay.
How much tax on 800,000 BDT in Bangladesh?
45,000 BDT a year on the brackets alone, before any deduction, rebate or surcharge this page does not model.
Where do these figures come from?
Bangladesh's own published rules, cited on this page and last checked 2026-08-29. No figure here is generated by a language model — the brackets are stored data and the arithmetic is deterministic.
What this does not include
- Higher tax-free thresholds for specific categories are NOT applied by this calculator, which uses the general BDT 400,000 threshold only. Reported category thresholds are BDT 450,000 for women and people aged 65+, BDT 525,000 for third-gender people and people with disabilities, and BDT 550,000 for gazetted war-wounded freedom fighters and people injured in the July 2024 uprising, plus an extra BDT 50,000 for a parent or guardian of a child with a disability (one parent only where both are taxpayers). If you fall into one of these categories your real tax will be lower than shown.
- The minimum tax payable by area of residence (Dhaka/Chattogram city corporation, other city corporations, elsewhere) is not applied.
- Investment tax rebate under the Income Tax Act 2023 is not applied.
- A 35% top personal band is reported to begin in Tax Year 2028-29. It does not apply to 2026-27 and is not modeled.
- Surcharge on net wealth is not modeled.
