How transportation and shipping supervisor 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 transportation and shipping supervisors in Bangladesh earn less than 164,200 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 106,780 BDT (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 222,300 BDT (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of transportation and shipping supervisors sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 69,400 BDT. The highest stretch to 245,300 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.

Transportation and shipping supervisor pay by experience in Bangladesh

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

  • 0-2 Years
    80,800 BDT
  • 2-5 Years

    209,500 BDT
  • 20+ Years
    +9% from previous
    227,600 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 transportation and shipping supervisor 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.


Transportation and shipping supervisor pay by education in Bangladesh

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving transportation and shipping supervisor 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.

Transportation and shipping supervisor gender pay gap in Bangladesh

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Bangladesh is no exception. Male transportation and shipping supervisors in Bangladesh earn an average of 169,000 BDT a year, while female transportation and shipping supervisors earn around 138,200 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.
