8th Pay Commission Formula:
| From: | To: |
The 8th Pay Commission is the expected next central government pay revision in India, which will determine new salary structures for government employees. While not officially constituted yet, this calculator helps estimate potential salary revisions based on projected fitment factors.
The calculator uses the standard pay commission formula:
Where:
New Basic Pay: The foundation of the salary structure, calculated by multiplying old basic pay with the fitment factor.
DA: Dearness Allowance is calculated as a percentage of the new basic pay to offset inflation.
HRA: House Rent Allowance varies by city classification (X, Y, Z) and is a percentage of basic pay.
Allowances: Includes transport allowance, medical allowance, and other fixed components.
Tips: Enter your current basic pay, expected fitment factor (default is 2.57, same as 7th Pay Commission), current DA percentage, HRA percentage based on your city classification, and any fixed allowances.
