About this calculator

8thpaycommissionsalary.com is an independent, ad-supported tool that helps Indian Central and State Government employees, pensioners and family pensioners estimate their expected pay, allowances and tax liability under the 8th Central Pay Commission. Every calculation runs on your device — no salary data is ever transmitted to a server.

Our data sources

• 7th CPC Pay Matrix (Gazette of India, Resolution No. 1-2/2016-IC).
• Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) office memoranda on HRA and Transport Allowance.
• Ministry of Finance DA/DR release notifications.
• Union Budget 2025 — New Tax Regime slabs, standard deduction and Section 87A rebate.
• NCJCM and Staff Side memoranda for probable fitment-factor scenarios.

How we compute the 8th CPC projection

1. Revised basic = 7th CPC basic × selected fitment factor, rounded up to the nearest ₹100.
2. DA resets to 0% at implementation (existing DA is absorbed into the new basic).
3. HRA = 30% / 20% / 10% of revised basic for city class X / Y / Z respectively.
4. Transport Allowance uses the current TPTA / non-TPTA slabs.
5. Pension = 50% of revised basic; DR moves with DA. HRA, TA and NPS do not apply to pensioners.
6. Income tax uses the FY 2025-26 New Tax Regime with ₹75,000 standard deduction, §87A rebate up to ₹60,000 and 4% cess.

Update policy

We monitor DoPT, Ministry of Finance and PIB notifications. Whenever the government publishes an updated DA rate, HRA slab, TA table or tax rule, the calculator's constants are refreshed within a few working days. Corrections from readers with an official source are welcome at karthikrootone@gmail.com.
