1. What is the 7th Pay Commission?

The 7th Pay Commission was constituted by the Government of India to review and recommend changes to the salary structure of central government employees. It introduced a multiplication factor of 2.57 for calculating new basic pay from the sum of pay in pay band and grade pay.

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 (₹)
2.57 — Multiplication factor recommended by 7th Pay Commission
DA — Dearness Allowance (percentage of new basic pay)
HRA — House Rent Allowance (percentage based on city class)
