The 7th Pay Commission revised the salary structure for central government employees in India. This calculator helps estimate in-hand salary under the new tax regime, considering basic pay, dearness allowance (DA), house rent allowance (HRA), other allowances, and tax deductions.

Basic Pay: Foundation of salary calculation, determined by pay level in the pay matrix.
DA: Adjusted quarterly to compensate for inflation (currently 46%).
HRA: Varies by city classification (X: 27%, Y: 18%, Z: 9%) of basic pay.
Allowances: May include transport allowance, medical allowance, etc.
Tax Deductions: Calculated under new tax regime with lower rates but fewer exemptions.
