Compared with your current ৳85,000

Enter what you earned a year ago. Prices rose 8.34% in the past year (BBS), so a raise smaller than that is a real pay cut.

How this works: you are 9% below typical pay today, and the forecast keeps you there. Each year adds experience, valued on this employer type's own curve (which flattens after about 12 years), plus market pay growth (1% a year). Inflation then turns that into future taka. In today's money that works out to about 6.5% a year over the next 10 years.

This is a projection, not a promise. It assumes you stay in the same kind of job and employer. Promotions, switching employer, or a new pay scale can change it a lot. Figures are monthly gross.
