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


How publications 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 publications coordinators in Bangladesh earn less than 210,500 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 137,400 BDT (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 282,500 BDT (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of publications coordinators sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 91,520 BDT. The highest stretch to 314,500 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.

Publications coordinator pay by experience in Bangladesh

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

  • 0-2 Years
    102,160 BDT
  • 2-5 Years
    +36% from previous
    139,100 BDT
  • 5-10 Years

    +10% from previous
    271,300 BDT
  • 20+ Years
    +9% from previous
    294,700 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 publications 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.


Publications coordinator pay by education in Bangladesh

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving publications 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.

Publications 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 publications coordinators in Bangladesh earn an average of 215,100 BDT a year, while female publications coordinators earn around 175,900 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.
