1. What is the 8th Pay Commission?

The 8th Pay Commission is the proposed next central government pay revision for Indian government employees and pensioners. It will recommend new pay structures, allowances, and pensions based on economic conditions and inflation.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the basic pay revision formula:

\[ \text{New Basic Pay} = \text{Old Basic Pay} \times \text{Fitment Factor} \]

Where:

Old Basic Pay — Current basic salary under 7th Pay Commission (in INR)
Fitment Factor — Multiplier to convert old pay to new pay structure (expected around 2.28-3.0)

Explanation: The fitment factor is applied uniformly to all pay levels to maintain parity while accounting for inflation and economic growth since the last pay commission.

3. Current Status of 8th Pay Commission

Status: Announced January 2025, implementation expected January 2026, not fully approved yet.

The 8th Pay Commission is currently in the discussion phase. The exact fitment factor and other parameters will be finalized closer to implementation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current basic pay (7th CPC) in INR and the expected fitment factor (default is 2.28 based on early estimates). All values must be valid (basic pay > 0, fitment factor ≥ 1).
