How much is $1 dollar in Singapore in Bangladeshi Taka today?

The mid-market rate — the raw rate without provider markups — sits around 96.10 BDT per Singapore dollar. XE’s live converter showed 1 SGD = 96.5812 BDT at 21:19 UTC, though rates refresh by the minute and vary slightly between aggregators.

Live mid-market rate

Mid-market rates represent the true interbank exchange rate before providers add their margin. Wise’s currency converter displayed 1 SGD = 95.58 BDT, while Instarem (UK version) listed 1 SGD = 96.4785 BDT. The variation stems from slight timing differences in how each platform pulls interbank data.

Recent fluctuations

Over the past 15 days, Xtransfer’s tracking shows the pair ranged between 95.17 and 96.86 BDT per SGD. Yesterday’s movement was tighter — the rate moved within a 0.27 BDT band between high of 96.44 and low of 96.17.

The catch

Mid-market rates exclude transfer fees. When you actually send money, the rate you receive will be lower — often by 0.5% to 2% depending on the provider.

Five providers tracked for this guide show consistent convergence around the 96 BDT mark, but the spread matters for anyone moving money across borders.

Conversion table for common amounts

Using XE’s mid-market rate of 96.1006 BDT per SGD:

Amount (SGD) BDT Equivalent Source
1 SGD 96.10 BDT XE mid-market
10 SGD 961.01 BDT XE mid-market
50 SGD 4,805.03 BDT XE mid-market
100 SGD 9,610.06 BDT XE mid-market
500 SGD 48,050.30 BDT XE mid-market
1,000 SGD 96,100.60 BDT XE mid-market
5,000 SGD 480,503.00 BDT XE mid-market

For comparison, Wise’s conversion table shows 10 SGD = 955.83 BDT and 500 SGD = 47,791.55 BDT — notably lower than XE’s figures because Wise uses its own slightly different mid-market calculation.

Factors affecting the rate

The SGD/BDT rate reflects the relative monetary policies of Singapore and Bangladesh, plus supply-demand dynamics in remittance corridors. Exchange-Rates.org’s historical data shows the pair has ranged from 89.58 BDT (April 2025 low) to 96.30 BDT (July 2025 high), a swing of nearly 7 BDT per SGD over the year.

Why this matters

For a 100,000 BDT remittance, choosing the right provider and timing could mean receiving an extra 5,000-7,000 BDT — real money for families relying on these transfers.

Singapore dollar to taka today

Today’s rate depends on when you check and which platform you use. XE’s real-time converter updates continuously, while Wise and Ria Money Transfer refresh less frequently.

1000 SGD to BDT

At XE’s mid-market rate of 96.1006, 1,000 SGD converts to approximately 96,100.60 BDT. Ria’s rate of 96.76918 would yield 96,769.18 BDT for the same amount — a difference of roughly 669 BDT. That’s the cost of the spread between these two providers.

500 SGD to BDT

Five hundred Singapore dollars converts to approximately 48,050 BDT at XE’s rate, or 48,385 BDT at Ria’s slightly higher rate. Wise calculates 500 SGD at 47,791.55 BDT, continuing the pattern of showing a lower mid-market rate than competitors.

The upshot

For remittances over 1,000 SGD, comparing two or three providers before sending can add thousands of taka to what your recipient receives.

Is Singapore currency strong?

The Singapore dollar consistently buys significantly more Bangladeshi taka than most other currencies in the region, reflecting Singapore’s higher GDP per capita and the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s stable monetary policy.

SGD vs BDT historical strength

Exchange-Rates.org’s historical analysis confirms the Singapore dollar has strengthened against the taka by 3.86% over the past six months through August 2025. This means same amount of SGD buys more BDT now than it did earlier in the year — good news for Singapore-based workers sending money home.

Currency of Singapore

The Singapore Dollar (SGD) is issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and is one of Asia’s most traded currencies. Its strength relative to the Bangladeshi Taka reflects Singapore’s developed economy status and higher interest rates that attract capital flows. Markets Insider’s converter provides daily rate comparisons for investors tracking these dynamics.

Is 5000 a month a good salary in Singapore?

Whether 5,000 SGD monthly is “good” depends on your situation, but the conversion to taka gives context. At current rates, 5,000 SGD equals approximately 480,503 BDT — over 4.8 lakh taka per month.

5000 SGD in BDT

Using XE’s mid-market rate, a 5,000 SGD monthly salary converts to roughly 480,500 BDT. That’s nearly 57.7 lakh taka annually — a substantial sum by Bangladesh standards, though urban living costs in Singapore consume most of it. Instarem’s US-based rate shows a slightly lower figure (1 SGD = 95.4762 BDT), yielding around 477,380 BDT for the same 5,000 SGD.

Average salaries for context

Singapore’s Employment Pass minimum threshold is significantly higher than 5,000 SGD, making this salary level entry-tier for foreign professionals. MyCurrencyTransfer’s comparison data shows that FCA-regulated providers consistently beat bank rates for international transfers, which matters for anyone remitting from Singapore to Bangladesh.

What to watch

The mid-market rate shown on comparison sites excludes transfer fees. Before converting salary remittances, check whether your bank or provider charges flat fees or percentage margins — on a 5,000 SGD transfer, a 1% fee costs 480+ BDT extra.

Upsides

  • SGD is stronger than BDT — one dollar buys roughly 96 taka
  • Mid-market rates are freely available from XE, Wise, and others
  • Transfer providers compete, keeping spreads relatively narrow
  • SGD has strengthened 3.86% against BDT in recent months

Downsides

  • Mid-market rate is never what you actually receive
  • Transfer fees add 0.5–2% to the effective cost
  • Rates vary between providers by over 1 BDT per SGD
  • Intra-day fluctuations can hit during high-volatility periods
Bottom line: The implication: for Bangladeshi workers in Singapore, every percentage point of rate difference translates directly into more or fewer taka for families back home. Before initiating any transfer, a five-minute comparison across XE, Wise, and Ria — and checking their transfer fees separately — can meaningfully increase what your money buys.
