List of highest paid Indian Bengali actors

Salaries for the highest Bengali paid film actors currently range from 30 lakh (US$42,000) to 40 lakh (US$56,000), but an actor can earn substantially more by deferring all or part of their salary against a percentage of the film's gross, known within the industry as a "profit participation" deal. Since not all salaries are made public. The figures are given at their nominal value, since earnings from profit based deals are accumulated over many years, making it infeasible to adjust for inflation.

Dev (top), Jeetendra (middle) and Prosenjit Chatterjee (bottom) are top three highest paid Bengali actors
