Transparent, data-backed breakdown of what models in Bangladesh are charging — and should be charging — this year.
For years, model rates in Bangladesh have lived in a fog. New talent undercharges. Senior talent overcharges inconsistently. Brands quote one number to one agency and a different number to another. This guide ends the fog.
TVC and commercial film
Rates for television commercials in Bangladesh in 2026 sit between ৳18,000 for a single-day local supporting role and ৳2,50,000 for a lead in a national multi-day shoot. The median for a senior model on a one-day TVC is ৳65,000.
Print and editorial
Editorial work pays less in cash but more in long-term equity. Expect ৳8,000–৳25,000 for a single-day editorial, with cover work negotiated separately. Always retain usage rights.
Digital and social media
This is where the market has shifted hardest. A single in-feed post for a brand now ranges from ৳12,000 to ৳1,20,000 depending on the model's following and the brand's reach. Reels command 2–3× the rate of static posts.
Never negotiate your rate down on the first call. The first number you say anchors the entire deal.
Use this guide as a floor, not a ceiling. Your rate is a function of your work, not your insecurity.
