1. What is the 8th Pay Commission Fitment Factor?

The fitment factor is a multiplier used to calculate new basic pay from old basic pay during pay commission revisions. The 8th Pay Commission (expected) may use a fitment factor to adjust salaries for government employees.

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:

\( \text{DA} = \text{New Basic Pay} \times \text{DA Percentage} / 100 \)
\( \text{HRA} = \text{New Basic Pay} \times \text{HRA Percentage} / 100 \)
Transport and Other Allowances are fixed amounts

Explanation: The fitment factor adjusts the basic pay, and all other components are calculated based on this new basic pay.

3. Importance of Salary Calculation

Details: Accurate salary calculation helps employees understand their new compensation structure after pay commission revisions and plan their finances accordingly.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current basic pay, expected fitment factor (e.g., 2.28), DA percentage, HRA percentage, and any fixed allowances. All monetary values should be in INR.
