1. What is the 8th Pay Commission?

The 8th Pay Commission is expected to revise the salary structure for central government employees in India. It will recommend new pay scales, allowances, and pensions based on the fitment factor applied to current basic pay.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the basic formula:

\[ \text{New Basic Pay} = \text{Old Basic Pay} \times \text{Fitment Factor} \]

Where:

Old Basic Pay — Current basic salary (₹)
Fitment Factor — Multiplication factor (expected around 3.0)

Explanation: The fitment factor is applied uniformly to all pay levels to determine new basic pay under the 8th Pay Commission.

7th CPC: 2.57 (2016)
6th CPC: 1.86 (2006)
