Not sure which department-specific calculator to use, or just want a quick universal estimate? This calculator works for any Central or State Government employee — enter your current basic pay, pick an approximate fitment factor, and optionally add your current DA% and HRA% to see an estimated new gross salary too.

⚠️ Important Note on Accuracy

This calculator produces an estimate based on publicly discussed 8th Pay Commission fitment logic and historical Pay Commission patterns. It is not an official government tool. Always cross-check your final figures with your department's Pay & Accounts Office, DDO, or HR/establishment section once the official 8th CPC notification is published. For authoritative information, refer to dopt.gov.in.

How This Calculator Works

This is a deliberately simplified, universal version of the fitment-factor logic used across every calculator on this site: New Basic Pay = Current Basic Pay × Fitment Factor. If you provide a DA% and HRA%, it also estimates a rough new gross salary as New Basic + (New Basic × DA%) + (New Basic × HRA%) — note that DA typically resets to 0% at the moment of implementation and then grows every six months, so the DA% you enter here should reflect what you expect at the time you're checking, not necessarily your current DA%.

For a figure tailored to your exact department or pay level, use our Central Government Salary Calculator (Level 1-15 dropdown) or browse Salary By Profession for a role-specific tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fitment factor should I select?
If you know your 7th CPC Pay Level, pick the fitment factor labeled with that level. If you're unsure of your exact level, a mid-range value (2.76x-2.86x) is a reasonable general estimate for most Group B/C posts.
Why does DA reset to 0% when a new Pay Commission is implemented?
DA compensates for inflation since the last pay revision. Once a new Pay Commission folds a large part of accumulated DA into the new basic pay, DA is reset to 0% and begins accruing again from the new baseline, typically revised every six months based on the AICPI index.
Is the gross salary estimate accurate?
It's a simplified estimate covering only Basic + DA + HRA. Your actual gross salary may also include Transport Allowance and other department-specific allowances, and your net in-hand pay will further depend on NPS/GPF deductions and income tax.
