1. What is the 7th Pay Commission?

The 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) determines the salary structure for central government employees in India. It introduced a new pay matrix with a multiplication factor of 2.57 applied to the sum of pay in the pay band and grade pay to arrive at the new basic pay.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the 7th CPC formula:

\[ \text{New Basic Pay} = (\text{Pay in Pay Band} + \text{Grade Pay}) \times 2.57 \] \[ \text{Total Salary} = \text{New Basic Pay} + \text{DA} + \text{HRA} + \text{Transport Allowance} + \text{Other Allowances} \]

Where:

DA = New Basic Pay × DA% / 100
HRA = New Basic Pay × HRA% / 100 (depends on city classification)
Transport Allowance = Fixed amount based on pay level
Other Allowances = Any additional allowances
