Pay ranges widely from country to country and from role to role. The lowest reported salaries in Bangladesh sit around 41,980 BDT a year, while the very top stretches to 139,100 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 groundsman working in Bangladesh brings home around 7,201 BDT a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 41,980 BDT, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 139,100 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 groundsman 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 groundsman 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 groundsmans in Bangladesh earn less than 92,680 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 59,660 BDT (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 127,700 BDT (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of groundsmans sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 41,980 BDT. The highest stretch to 139,100 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.

Groundsman pay by experience in Bangladesh

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

  • 0-2 Years
    44,780 BDT
  • 2-5 Years
    +34% from previous
    60,020 BDT
  • 5-10 Years
    +53% from previous
    91,560 BDT
  • 10-15 Years
    +21% from previous
    111,240 BDT

    +7% from previous
    119,080 BDT
  • 20+ Years
    +8% from previous
    128,500 BDT

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 53%. That is the point at which a groundsman 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.


Groundsman pay by education in Bangladesh

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving groundsman 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 groundsman salary in Bangladesh broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

Groundsman gender pay gap in Bangladesh

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Bangladesh is no exception. Male groundsmans in Bangladesh earn an average of 96,720 BDT a year, while female groundsmans earn around 78,620 BDT. That works out to a 23% 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 groundsman in Bangladesh

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.
