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. The Karnataka government has implemented similar recommendations for its employees. The key change was the multiplication factor of 2.57 applied to the sum of pay in the pay band and grade pay to arrive at the new basic pay.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

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

Where:

Pay in Pay Band — Your current basic pay in the pay band (INR)
Grade Pay — Your current grade pay (INR)
DA — Dearness Allowance as percentage of New Basic Pay
HRA — House Rent Allowance as percentage of New Basic Pay (varies by city class)
Transport Allowance — Fixed amount based on pay level (INR)
Other Allowances — Any additional allowances (INR)
