How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of Bangladesh (0.2535745027671743, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.1, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 121.920836605034 BDT to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes
At the budget level of $25 a day, most spending goes toward a simple guesthouse room, inexpensive local meals, and rickshaw or bus fares, adding up to $175 over a week. The mid-range tier of $60 a day, or $420 over seven days, allows for better lodging, restaurant meals rather than street food, and occasional paid attractions. Luxury travelers spending $125 a day, totaling $875 for a week, gain access to more comfortable rooms and a wider range of dining and transport choices, though the country's low price level means even this tier remains inexpensive compared with many other destinations.
The off-season months of April, May, and August tend to offer the best value, since lower visitor demand coincides with the wettest and hottest stretches of the year. Travelers accepting the risk of frequent rain, particularly August's heavy monthly totals, can often find better rates during this period. All figures here are estimates meant to guide planning rather than fixed prices, and actual costs will vary by choice of lodging, dining habits, and negotiation on transport.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Apr, May and Aug.
