What Graphic Designers Make in Bangladesh

The middle 50% of graphic designers in Bangladesh earn between BDT 1,470,000 and BDT 2,200,000 a year, with the median at BDT 1,790,000.

Raw exchange-rate comparisons undersell local earnings, though: costs for housing, food, and services in Bangladesh are proportionally lower, so the lifestyle a median salary buys is better than the USD figure implies.
