    The Bangladesh Population (Live) counter shows a continuously updated estimate of the current population of Bangladesh delivered by Worldometer's RTS algorithm, which processes data collected from the United Nations Population Division.

    The Population of Bangladesh (1950 - 2025) chart plots the total population count as of July 1 of each year, from 1950 to 2025.

    The Yearly Population Growth Rate chart plots the annual percentage changes in population registered on July 1 of each year, from 1951 to 2025. This value can differ from the Yearly % Change shown in the historical table, which shows the last year equivalent percentage change assuming homogeneous change in the preceding five year period.
