The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay.

A typical commodity broker working in Bangladesh brings home around 26,208 BDT a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 142,300 BDT, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 498,500 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 commodity broker 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 commodity broker 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 commodity brokers in Bangladesh earn less than 339,100 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 216,800 BDT (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 450,300 BDT (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of commodity brokers sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 142,300 BDT. The highest stretch to 498,500 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.

Commodity broker pay by experience in Bangladesh

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a commodity broker 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 commodity broker salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    161,600 BDT
  • 2-5 Years
    +35% from previous
    217,900 BDT
  • 5-10 Years
    +47% from previous
    320,500 BDT
  • 10-15 Years
    +22% from previous
    392,300 BDT
  • 15-20 Years
    +9% from previous
    426,700 BDT
  • 20+ Years
    +9% from previous
    464,400 BDT

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 47%. That is the point at which a commodity broker 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.


Commodity broker pay by education in Bangladesh

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving commodity broker pay in Bangladesh. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Below is the average commodity broker salary in Bangladesh broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

Commodity broker gender pay gap in Bangladesh

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Bangladesh is no exception. Male commodity brokers in Bangladesh earn an average of 341,900 BDT a year, while female commodity brokers earn around 283,400 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 commodity broker in Bangladesh

A typical worker doing this role in Bangladesh sees a raise of about 9% every 26 months, which works out to roughly 4% 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.
