The 7th Pay Commission is the most recent salary revision for government employees in India, implemented from January 2016. It introduced a new pay matrix and revised allowances for central and state government employees.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the 7th Pay Commission formula:

\[ \text{New Basic Pay} = (\text{Pay in Pay Band} + \text{Grade Pay}) \times 2.57 \] \[ \text{Total Salary} = \text{New Basic Pay} + \text{DA} + \text{HRA} + \text{Transport Allowance} + \text{Other Allowances} \]

Pay in Pay Band — Current basic pay in the pay band
Grade Pay — Current grade pay
