1. What is the 7th Pay Commission?

The 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) is a panel constituted by the Government of India to review and recommend changes to the salary structure of central government employees. It introduced a new pay matrix and revised allowances.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the 7th Pay Commission 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:

Pay in Pay Band — Current basic pay in the pay band
Grade Pay — Current grade pay
2.57 — Multiplication factor for pay revision
DA — Dearness Allowance (percentage of basic pay)
HRA — House Rent Allowance (percentage varies by city class)

Explanation: The formula first calculates the new basic pay by applying the multiplication factor to the sum of pay band and grade pay, then adds various allowances.
