This calculator works out the festival bonus (উৎসব ভাতা), the Eid bonus most workers know, under the Bangladesh Labour Rules 2015 and the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 as amended in 2026. Type the basic wage, or the gross and the basic share, and the months of service; the bonus for each festival and for the year appear at once.
Who gets it. Rule 111(5) says every worker of a factory or establishment who has completed one year of continuous service gets two festival allowances a year. The Rules do not name the festivals: for most workers they are the two Eids, and for others the main festivals of their own religion, as the employer and workers agree.
How much. Each festival allowance is counted on the monthly basic wage and may not exceed it, and it is paid in addition to wages. The calculator takes one full basic as 100%; a lower share, or a higher one under a contract or settlement, can be typed. On an 8,000 taka basic, two bonuses come to 16,000 taka a year.
