📘 About the 8th CPC Expected Salary

The 8th Pay Commission will revise pay and pensions for central government employees. Until it reports, salary changes can only be estimated by assuming a fitment factor — the multiplier applied to today's basic pay (it was 2.57 in the 7th CPC).

Choose your 7th CPC level and stage, current DA and a fitment factor scenario. The calculator builds your present pay slip and an estimated 8th CPC pay slip side by side — basic, DA, HRA, transport allowance and deductions — and shows the expected hike. These are estimates; actual figures depend on the Commission's report.

🧮 Formula

New basic pay
8th CPC basic = 7th CPC basic × Fitment factor
Allowances
DA, HRA and transport allowance are recomputed on the new basic using assumed rates

Where

  • Fitment factor = the scenario you select
  • The estimate also deducts NPS, CGHS, CGEGIS and estimated tax
The actual fitment factor and allowances will be decided by the Commission and the government. These figures are scenarios, not forecasts.
