Formula
How the calculation works
The foreign salary is converted to taka at the exchange rate, giving the monthly income your family can plan around.
Subtracting the monthly home expense shows what is actually saved, and multiplying by twelve gives the yearly figure.
A negative saving is a useful signal: it means the salary, at this rate, does not cover the home budget.
Common mistakes
- Comparing the foreign salary with a home salary without converting, which hides the exchange rate's effect.
- Ignoring the cost of living abroad, so the saving looks larger than the money actually sent home.
When to use it
- Use it to see what a foreign salary really means for the family budget at home.
- It is not a tax or visa calculation; it only converts and subtracts the figures you enter.
Worked example
A 2000 salary at 32.5 equals 65,000 taka a month; with 35,000 of expenses you save 30,000 a month and 360,000 a year.
Common questions
Should I use today's rate or an average?
Use an average of the last few months, since the rate moves and a single day can mislead.
Does this include the cost of living abroad?
No, it only counts home expenses, so subtract your own living costs abroad separately.
