A typical information security administrator working in Bangladesh brings home around 29,775 BDT a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 163,800 BDT, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 566,900 BDT for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.


How information security administrator 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 information security administrators in Bangladesh earn less than 384,500 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 246,500 BDT (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 516,100 BDT (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of information security administrators sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 163,800 BDT. The highest stretch to 566,900 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.

Information security administrator pay by experience in Bangladesh

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

  • 0-2 Years
    187,500 BDT
  • 2-5 Years
    +32% from previous
    247,800 BDT
  • 5-10 Years

    +9% from previous
    489,600 BDT
  • 20+ Years
    +8% from previous
    528,600 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 information security administrator 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.


Information security administrator pay by education in Bangladesh

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving information security administrator 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.

Information security administrator gender pay gap in Bangladesh

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Bangladesh is no exception. Male information security administrators in Bangladesh earn an average of 390,000 BDT a year, while female information security administrators earn around 322,600 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.
