PAY & ALLOWANCE TOOL

8th CPC Salary Calculator

Estimate possible revised salary scenarios for Central Government employees. Adjust the assumptions to compare basic pay, HRA, transport allowance and deductions.

Important: The 8th CPC has not announced an official fitment factor or final pay matrix. This tool provides illustrative estimates only—not a forecast, official pay fixation, arrears calculation, or tax advice. DA/HRA/TA rules under the 8th CPC may differ. Verify all inputs against current official orders.

How the estimate works

Estimated revised basic = current basic × selected fitment factor. Estimated HRA uses the rate entered above. Transport allowance is modelled using the selected pay-level band and city choice. NPS is calculated as the selected percentage of estimated revised basic plus assumed revised DA. The tool carries the same HRA percentage and TA base into the comparison only to make scenarios easier to compare; actual 8th CPC allowances and deductions may be different.
