Figures are computed on your device; nothing is sent anywhere.

Formula

tax = landValue * rate / 100; totalPayable = tax + surcharge

How the calculation works

The calculator multiplies the assessed land value by the annual rate and divides by one hundred to give the base development tax.

Any surcharge for holding land above the ceiling is then added to that base tax to reach the total payable amount.

The result is shown in Bangladeshi taka so it can be compared directly with the land office demand notice.

Common mistakes

Using the market price of the plot instead of the assessed value used by the land office inflates the tax well beyond the actual demand.
Forgetting the surcharge that applies above the holding ceiling understates what has to be paid at the counter.

When to use it

Use it before paying at the land office to check that the printed demand matches the value and rate applied to your plot.
Use it to see how a revaluation of the plot changes the yearly tax before you buy or register additional land.

Worked example

For land valued at 2,000,000 BDT with a 1 percent rate, the tax is 2,000,000 times 1 divided by 100, which is 20,000 BDT. With a 2,000 BDT surcharge the total payable is 22,000 BDT.

Tax ৳20,000.00

Total payable 22,000.00

Common questions

Is land development tax charged every year on the same value?

Yes. It is an annual tax on the assessed value, so the amount stays the same until the land office revises the valuation or the rate changes.
