1. What is the 8th Pay Commission Calculator?

The 8th Pay Commission Calculator estimates the new salary structure for government employees based on expected recommendations of the upcoming 8th Central Pay Commission. It calculates revised basic pay and allowances using the fitment factor method.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ \text{New Basic Pay} = \text{Old Basic Pay} \times \text{Fitment Factor} \] \[ \text{DA} = \text{New Basic Pay} \times \frac{\text{DA Percentage}}{100} \] \[ \text{HRA} = \text{New Basic Pay} \times \frac{\text{HRA Percentage}}{100} \] \[ \text{Total Salary} = \text{New Basic Pay} + \text{DA} + \text{HRA} + \text{Allowances} \]

Where:

Old Basic Pay — Current basic salary under 7th Pay Commission
Fitment Factor — Expected multiplication factor (e.g., 2.57 was used in 7th CPC)
DA Percentage — Expected Dearness Allowance rate
HRA Percentage — Expected House Rent Allowance rate
Allowances — Other fixed allowances (transport, medical, etc.)
