About the 7th & 8th Pay Commission Salary Calculator
The first tab calculates the salary a central government employee draws today under the 7th Pay Commission. Every rate in it is a notified one: DA at the rate you enter (60% from 1 January 2026), HRA at the percentages and minimums set by the Finance Ministry's order of 7 July 2017, and transport allowance at the slabs for your pay level, with DA on top.
The second tab is for the 8th Pay Commission, which was constituted by a notification dated 3 November 2025 and has 18 months to make its recommendations. The government has said their effect would normally be expected from 1 January 2026. The fitment factor, the pay matrix and the new allowance rates have not been decided, so that tab only shows what your pay would be for a factor you choose to test.
How it Works
The calculator takes these inputs:
- Pay level and basic pay: your level in the 7th CPC pay matrix and the basic pay you draw.
- DA: the Dearness Allowance rate, 60% from 1 January 2026.
- HRA city class: X, Y or Z, which sets your HRA percentage.
- Transport allowance city and NPS/UPS (7th CPC tab): whether you are posted in a higher-rate city, and whether 10% of basic + DA goes to NPS or UPS.
- Fitment factor and DA on the new pay (8th CPC tab): the values you want to test.
Pay Commission Salary Formula
7th CPC gross = B + B × DA% + HRA + TA × (1 + DA%) · 8th CPC test: new basic = B × F
Where:
B = basic pay
DA% = Dearness Allowance rate
HRA = 24%, 16% or 8% of basic in X, Y and Z cities; 27/18/9% once DA crosses 25%; 30/20/10% once it crosses 50%; never less than ₹5,400 / ₹3,600 / ₹1,800
TA = transport allowance: ₹7,200 / ₹3,600 for Level 9 and above, ₹3,600 / ₹1,800 for Levels 3–8, ₹1,350 / ₹900 for Levels 1–2 (₹3,600 / ₹1,800 if basic is ₹24,200 or more), in higher-rate cities / other places; Level 14+ officers entitled to an official car get ₹15,750 or the car instead
F = the fitment factor you choose to test; the 8th CPC's factor has not been decided
