1. What is the 6th Pay Commission?

The 6th Central Pay Commission was established by the Government of India to review and recommend changes to the salary structure of central government employees. It introduced a new pay structure with grade pay and pay bands.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the 6th Pay Commission formula:

\[ \text{New Basic Pay} = (\text{Pay in Pay Band} + \text{Grade Pay}) \times 1.86 \] \[ \text{Total Salary} = \text{New Basic Pay} + \text{DA} + \text{HRA} + \text{Other Allowances} \]

Where:

Pay in Pay Band — Basic pay as per the pay band
Grade Pay — Additional pay based on position/rank
1.86 — Multiplication factor for pay revision
DA — Dearness Allowance (percentage of basic pay)
HRA — House Rent Allowance (percentage of basic pay)
Other Allowances — Any additional fixed allowances

Explanation: The formula first calculates the revised basic pay by adding pay band and grade pay, then multiplying by 1.86. Allowances are then calculated as percentages of this new basic pay.

3. Importance of Salary Calculation

Details: Accurate salary calculation is crucial for government employees to understand their compensation structure, plan finances, and ensure correct payments.
