1. What is 7th CPC Salary Calculation?

The 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) introduced a new pay structure for government employees in India, including Kerala. The calculation involves multiplying the sum of Pay in Pay Band and Grade Pay by a factor of 2.57 to arrive at the new basic pay, then adding allowances like DA and HRA.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the 7th CPC formula:

Where:

Pay in Pay Band — Basic pay before 7th CPC implementation
Grade Pay — Additional pay based on employee grade
DA — Dearness Allowance percentage
HRA — House Rent Allowance percentage
Allowances — Other fixed allowances

Explanation: The 2.57 multiplication factor was recommended by the 7th CPC to convert pre-7th CPC salaries to the new pay structure.
