Pension Calculator Bangladesh – Estimate Your Government Pension

The Pension Calculator BD is a simple yet powerful tool that helps Bangladeshi government employees estimate their retirement pension based on public service rules. Whether you're approaching retirement or planning for the future, this calculator gives you an accurate estimate of your monthly pension, gratuity, and other benefits.

By entering a few details like your basic salary, date of birth, and expected retirement date, the calculator instantly shows whether you meet the minimum eligibility and how much pension you may receive.

How the Pension Calculator BD Works

The Pension Calculator BD is built using formulas aligned with government pension rules in Bangladesh. It focuses on government pension benefits and supports two categories:

• Government Pension
• Universal Pension (accessible via the tab option)

Input Fields Explained

1. Last Basic Salary (BDT):
   This is your final basic salary at the time of retirement. Pension and gratuity are calculated based on this figure.
2. Date of Birth:
   Determines your age and helps calculate the number of pensionable service years.
3. Date of Retirement:
   Used to calculate total years of eligible service from the age of joining to retirement.

Key Eligibility Rule

• A minimum of 5 years of pensionable service is required.
• Pensionable service is capped at 25 years.
• The pension is usually 50% of the last drawn basic salary after 25 years of service.

Formula Used

The monthly pension is calculated using the formula: Monthly Pension = (Basic Salary × Pensionable Years) / 50

Gratuity = Basic Salary × Pensionable Years

Note: These formulas follow Bangladesh government service rules and apply only to eligible public employees.

Example Calculation (Verification Section)

Let’s say a user enters the following:

• Last Basic Salary: BDT 50,000
• Date of Birth: 01/01/1970
• Retirement Date: 01/01/2030

Assuming the person started service at age 25, their total pensionable years = 60 - 25 = 35 years, but since the cap is 25 years, the pension is calculated on 25 years only.

Results:

• Monthly Pension: (50,000 × 25) / 50 = BDT 25,000
• Gratuity: 50,000 × 25 = BDT 1,250,000

This means the employee will receive a monthly pension of BDT 25,000 and a one-time gratuity of BDT 12.5 lakh.
