8th Pay Commission Salary Calculator
Salary projection based on expected pay matrix revision
Current Salary Details
Projection Parameters
Note: This calculator provides estimates based on expected parameters. The actual 8th Pay Commission recommendations may differ. HRA is calculated at 20% of new basic pay for projection purposes while other allowances remain unchanged.
Calculation Method:
Current Gross = Basic Pay + DA(Basic Pay) + HRA(Basic Pay) + Other Allowances
New Basic Pay = Current Basic × Fitment Factor
Projected DA = New Basic × Expected DA%
Projected HRA = 20% of New Basic
Other Allowances remain unchanged in projection
8th Pay Commission Salary Calculator with Grade Pay
With the 8th Pay Commission discussions gathering pace, employees at the entry levels of government service are eagerly watching for signs of possible pay hikes. One key variable in the salary revision process is the fitment factor—a multiplier applied to current basic pay to arrive at the revised pay scale.
Based on trends from earlier commissions, the upcoming fitment factor could range from 1.92x to 2.86x, influenced by:
✔ Inflation levels
✔ Government’s fiscal capacity
✔ Potential merger of DA with basic pay
Example: If you’re drawing a basic salary of ₹20,300 under Grade Pay ₹1800 (Level 1), your revised salary could increase significantly depending on the final fitment factor.
Calculator Overview
This tool helps government employees estimate their potential salary under different 8th CPC scenarios by considering:
✔ Current Basic Pay + Grade Pay
✔ Existing Dearness Allowance (%)
✔ HRA & Other Allowances
✔ Adjustable Fitment Factor (1.92x to 3.00x)
How It Works
The calculation follows this formula:
New Basic Pay = (Current Basic Pay + Grade Pay) × Fitment Factor
Then projects:
- Revised DA (applied to new basic)
- Scaled Allowances (HRA/TA proportionally adjusted)
- Total Gross Salary
Key Features:
✅ Grade Pay Integration – For accurate Level 1-10 calculations
✅ Flexible Scenarios – Test 1.92x (conservative) to 3.00x (optimistic)
✅ Real-time Comparison – Current vs projected salary breakdown
✅ Mobile Optimized – Works seamlessly on phones/tablets
Why This Matters for Entry-Level Employees
For example:
| Fitment Factor | ₹20,300 Basic + ₹1,800 GP | New Basic | Approx. Gross* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.92x | ₹22,100 | ₹42,432 | ₹68,000 |
| 2.57x | ₹22,100 | ₹56,797 | ₹91,000 |
| 2.86x | ₹22,100 | ₹63,206 | ₹1,01,000 |
*Includes DA @50% and proportional allowances
This shows how critical the fitment factor is – creating a difference of ₹33,000/year just between 1.92x and 2.86x scenarios!
