A bioinformatics technician in Bangladesh earns about 283,400 BDT a year. That's 9% below the national average of 311,700 BDT.

Pay ranges widely from country to country and from role to role. The lowest reported salaries in Bangladesh sit around 128,500 BDT a year, while the very top stretches to 447,700 BDT. Everything on this page is in Bangladeshi taka (BDT, symbol ৳), which lets you compare numbers like-for-like without worrying about exchange rates.

The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay. Most reported salaries include the benefits that are common in Bangladesh, such as housing or transport allowances, which is worth keeping in mind if you're comparing against a country where those are usually paid on top.

A typical bioinformatics technician working in Bangladesh brings home around 23,616 BDT a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 128,500 BDT, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 447,700 BDT for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior bioinformatics technician working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.


How bioinformatics technician pay ranges in Bangladesh

A good way to think about salary in Bangladesh is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all bioinformatics technicians in Bangladesh earn less than 305,600 BDT a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 196,800 BDT (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 407,100 BDT (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of bioinformatics technicians sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 128,500 BDT. The highest stretch to 447,700 BDT, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Bioinformatics technician pay by experience in Bangladesh

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a bioinformatics technician in Bangladesh, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical bioinformatics technician salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    148,300 BDT
  • 2-5 Years
    +32% from previous
    195,200 BDT
  • 5-10 Years
    +48% from previous
    288,700 BDT
  • 10-15 Years

    +9% from previous
    385,300 BDT
  • 20+ Years
    +8% from previous
    417,100 BDT

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 48%. That is the point at which a bioinformatics technician typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.


Bioinformatics technician pay by education in Bangladesh

Education lifts pay across almost every role, but the size of the lift varies enormously. The biggest premiums show up in licensed professions like medicine, law and accounting, where extra years of formal study open up seniority that isn't available without the qualification. The smallest premiums show up in skilled trades and creative work, where practical experience often beats academic credentials.

As a rough cross-industry guide for Bangladesh: a post-secondary certificate or diploma adds around 17% over a high-school-only baseline. A bachelor's degree typically adds another 25% on top of that. A master's lifts pay a further 30%, and a PhD adds about 22% more in fields that value research-level qualifications. These are averages across many different professions, so the real number for your specific job could easily be twice as high or close to zero. The per-job pages below have the real numbers for individual roles.


Bioinformatics technician gender pay gap in Bangladesh

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Bangladesh is no exception. Male bioinformatics technicians in Bangladesh earn an average of 308,300 BDT a year, while female bioinformatics technicians earn around 254,700 BDT. That works out to a 21% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Pay raises for a bioinformatics technician in Bangladesh

Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.

A typical worker doing this role in Bangladesh sees a raise of about 7% every 28 months, which works out to roughly 3% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.

Across all jobs in Bangladesh, the national average raise is around 5% every 28 months.

Bioinformatics technician bonus rates in Bangladesh

Bonuses are the other half of total compensation, and they vary a lot between jobs and industries. Some roles are paid almost entirely in base salary; others lean heavily on bonus structures tied to revenue, project completion or company performance. Whether a job pays a bonus, how big it is, and how often it lands all factor into whether the headline salary is actually a good offer.
