Being verified: the Labour Act was amended in 2025/26 and the gazette has not been re-read. The double rate, 208-divisor and service rates (14/30 days) may have changed — check with HR or a lawyer.
A simple estimate — bonuses, holiday premiums and company policy are not counted here.
Why 208: a month averages 26 working days of 8 hours, so dividing monthly wages by 208 gives the ordinary hourly rate, doubled for overtime. If your employer counts weekly holidays or shifts differently, HR’s figure may vary slightly.
The fractional-year nuance: many readings of the law count only completed years; this calculator prorates fractions for simplicity (7.5 years = 14 × 7.5). It is labelled an estimate — check company policy and a lawyer before final settlement.
Warning: the Labour Act was amended in 2025/26 and the gazette has not been re-read. The double rate, the 208 divisor and the 14/30-day service rates are all UNVERIFIED.
Frequently asked questions
Why divide by 208?
Monthly pay is converted to an hourly figure with 26 working days × 8 hours = 208. This conventional divisor is still being verified.
What is DA (dearness allowance)?
An allowance paid on top of basic pay that counts as part of ordinary wages. It is added to basic pay in both the overtime and the service calculation.
Who gets a service benefit?
When employment ends — resignation, termination, retirement or death — a gratuity-style payout accrues by length of service. The yearly rate differs by exit type.
What is the source of the 208 divisor?
The overtime provisions of the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 (double-rate wages). But the Act was amended in 2025/26 and the gazette has not been re-read — so the rates are UNVERIFIED.
Completed years or fractional years?
This calculator prorates fractions (e.g. 7.5 years = 14 × 7.5 days). Many employers count only completed years, so check your company policy with HR.
Is holiday overtime paid differently?
This estimate uses the same double rate for every hour. If your employer adds a holiday premium, add it on top separately.
