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

A typical import coordinator working in Bangladesh brings home around 13,650 BDT a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 74,380 BDT, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 261,300 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 import coordinator 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 import coordinator 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 import coordinators in Bangladesh earn less than 175,900 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 112,440 BDT (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 237,400 BDT (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of import coordinators sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 74,380 BDT. The highest stretch to 261,300 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.

Import coordinator pay by experience in Bangladesh

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

  • 0-2 Years
    86,760 BDT
  • 2-5 Years
    +33% from previous
    115,260 BDT
  • 5-10 Years
    +47% from previous
    169,000 BDT
  • 10-15 Years
    +23% from previous
    207,800 BDT
  • 15-20 Years
    +9% from previous
    225,700 BDT
  • 20+ Years
    +8% from previous
    243,000 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 import coordinator 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.


Import coordinator pay by education in Bangladesh

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

  • Certificate or Diploma

Import coordinator gender pay gap in Bangladesh

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Bangladesh is no exception. Male import coordinators in Bangladesh earn an average of 180,500 BDT a year, while female import coordinators earn around 148,300 BDT. That works out to a 22% 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 an import coordinator in Bangladesh
