Bangladesh Income Tax Slabs 2026-27
Bangladesh individual income tax follows a progressive slab structure set by the National Board of Revenue (NBR). The tax year runs from July to June. For the 2026-27 assessment year, the slabs and rates apply to income earned from July 2025 to June 2026. Understanding these slabs helps you plan your finances and take advantage of available deductions and rebates.
How the Bangladesh Income Tax Calculator Works
This calculator applies the NBR progressive slab structure to your annual salary. Enter your monthly or annual income, select your taxpayer category, and add any qualifying investments. The calculator computes gross tax across all applicable slabs, applies the 15% investment rebate, and shows your net tax liability after accounting for minimum tax rules.
Tax Slabs for Male Taxpayers (Under 65)
The first ৳3,50,000 of annual income is tax-free. The next ৳1,00,000 is taxed at 5%. The next ৳4,00,000 at 10%. The next ৳5,00,000 at 15%. The next ৳5,00,000 at 20%. Any remaining income above ৳18,50,000 is taxed at 25%. This means a person earning ৳50,000 per month (৳6,00,000 annually) would pay approximately ৳20,000 in annual tax before rebate.
Higher Tax-Free Threshold
Women and senior citizens (65 and above) get a higher tax-free threshold of ৳4,00,000 instead of ৳3,50,000. Disabled persons get ৳4,75,000 tax-free. War-wounded freedom fighters get ৳5,00,000 tax-free. Gazetted war-wounded freedom fighters are fully tax-exempt.
Tax Calculation
Taxable Income = Annual Salary - Tax-Free Threshold
Gross Tax = Sum of tax on each slab
Investment Rebate = 15% of investment (max 25% of taxable income or ৳10,00,000)
Net Tax = max(Gross Tax - Rebate, Minimum Tax)
Investment Rebate and Tax Savings
Taxpayers can claim a rebate of 15% on qualifying investments up to 25% of taxable income or ৳1,00,00,000, whichever is lower. Qualifying investments include life insurance premiums, contributions to PPF, savings certificates, stocks listed on DSE/CSE, mutual funds, treasury bonds, and deposits in DPS accounts. This rebate can significantly reduce your tax liability.
How to File Income Tax Returns in Bangladesh
All taxpayers with TIN must file annual returns by November 30. You can file online through the NBR e-return portal or submit paper returns at your local tax office. Required documents include salary certificates, bank statements, investment proofs, and rent receipts. Employers typically issue TDS certificates that should be attached to the return.
Minimum Tax
Even if your calculated tax is zero, a minimum tax applies if you have taxable income: ৳5,000 for Dhaka and Chittagong city corporations, ৳4,000 for other city corporations, and ৳3,000 for other areas. This minimum tax cannot be reduced by investment rebate.
