1. What is the 8th Pay Commission?

The 8th Pay Commission is the proposed next central government pay revision in India, expected to recommend new salary structures for government employees based on inflation and other economic factors.

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 — Multiplier for salary revision (expected around 3.0)
DA — Dearness Allowance percentage
HRA — House Rent Allowance percentage
Allowances — Other fixed allowances

3. Understanding Salary Components

Basic Pay: The core salary before allowances. All other components are calculated as a percentage of basic pay.

Dearness Allowance (DA): Cost of living adjustment allowance paid to offset inflation.

House Rent Allowance (HRA): Compensation for housing expenses, varies by city classification.

Other Allowances: May include transport allowance, medical allowance, etc.

4. Using the Calculator
