1. What is the 8th Pay Commission?

The 8th Pay Commission is a proposed revision of salaries and pensions for central government employees in India. It follows the previous 7th Pay Commission and typically includes a fitment factor to adjust basic pay scales.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ \text{New Basic Pay} = \text{Old Basic Pay} \times \text{Fitment Factor} \] \[ \text{Total Salary} = \text{New Basic Pay} + \text{DA} + \text{HRA} + \text{Transport} + \text{Other Allowances} \]

Where:

DA = New Basic Pay × DA Percentage / 100
HRA = New Basic Pay × HRA Percentage / 100
Transport and Other Allowances are fixed amounts

3. Understanding the Salary Structure

Components: The total salary consists of Basic Pay, Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), Transport Allowance, and other special allowances. The fitment factor determines how much the basic pay increases from the previous pay commission.

4. Using the Calculator

Instructions: Enter your current basic pay, the expected fitment factor (typically around 2.28-3.0), DA percentage, HRA percentage, and any fixed allowances. All values must be positive numbers.
