DA Merger Assumption

In past pay commission transitions, dearness allowance has been merged into the revised basic pay and the DA counter has restarted. This tool follows that assumption and sets DA to 0% on the estimated side.

Allowances Carried Over

Transport and other allowances are carried over at the amounts you enter. Actual allowance rates may be revised separately when any new pay structure is notified.

Income Tax Not Applied

The in-hand figure shown here is before income tax, professional tax and any other deductions specific to your department or state.

Simple Process

How It Works

Four steps from your current pay slip to a complete salary scenario.

Enter Your Basic Pay

Take the basic pay figure from your latest pay slip and enter it, along with your pay level.

Add Allowances

Select your HRA slab and add your current DA percentage, transport allowance and any other allowances.

Choose a Fitment Scenario

Pick one of the preset fitment factors or enter your own custom value to test different possibilities.

Review Your Estimate

See the estimated revised basic, gross, in-hand salary and the monthly, annual and percentage increase.

Core Concept

Fitment Factor Explained

A fitment factor is a multiplier applied to existing basic pay when a new pay structure replaces the old one. Instead of revising every pay level individually, the same multiplier is applied across the board to arrive at the revised basic pay.

For reference, the 7th Central Pay Commission used a fitment factor of 2.57 when converting 6th CPC basic pay into the 7th CPC pay matrix. Because the 8th Pay Commission has not published a recommended figure, any number discussed publicly today is a projection rather than a decision.

That is exactly why this calculator lets you switch between scenarios. Running the same salary through 1.92x, 2.57x and 3.00x shows you a realistic range instead of a single number that may not hold.

  • The fitment factor applies to basic pay, not to your gross salary.
  • Allowances such as HRA are usually recalculated on the revised basic.
  • A higher fitment factor does not automatically mean the same percentage rise in take-home pay, because DA is typically reset to zero.

How the estimate is built

Revised Basic = Current Basic × Fitment Factor HRA = Revised Basic × HRA % Gross = Revised Basic + HRA + Transport + Other In-Hand = Gross − NPS Deduction

All figures are rounded to the nearest rupee and displayed in Indian currency format.
