The attendance bonus is factory policy, not law, so it's paid only with zero absence. The increment is 9% of basic from December 2024 (it was 5% before). Change it here if the wage board revises it.

    2023 wage-board structure (garments)

    GradeBasicHouse rentGross

    Every grade also gets medical ৳750, conveyance ৳450 and food ৳1,250. These are starting minimums from 1 December 2023, before any annual increments.

    Rules used and sources
    • Grades and components: the RMG Minimum Wage Board gazette, effective 1 December 2023. 5 worker grades from ৳12,500 to ৳14,750 gross, plus an apprentice rate of ৳9,875 for up to 3 months (extendable by 3).
    • Annual increment: 5% of basic under the 2023 structure. The government's January 2025 gazette raised it to 9%, effective 1 December 2024, until the next wage board. The calculator applies it once per completed year of service.
    • Overtime: Bangladesh Labour Act 2006, section 108, sets OT at twice the ordinary basic rate. The hourly basic is basic ÷ 208 (48 hours × 52 weeks ÷ 12).
    • Festival bonus: Bangladesh Labour Rules 2015, rule 111. Two bonuses a year, each up to one month's basic, after one year of continuous service.
    • Absence deduction: uses the common practice of basic ÷ days in month × days absent. Check your own factory policy and the Labour Act limits on deductions.

    Watch this space: in August 2026, unions called for the Minimum Wage Board to be reconstituted so a new structure can take effect this December. When a new gazette is published, this calculator will be updated. Compliance Watch tracks it.

    Not legal advice. This calculator follows the published gazette and Labour Act rules as I understand them for payroll configuration. Factory agreements, buyer codes of conduct and later gazettes can change the numbers. Confirm with your HR/compliance adviser before paying.
