Method to Calculate 8th Pay Commission Salary (tentative)
8Th Pay Commission Calculator(tentative)- The gross and net salary is calculated as: Gross Salary = Revised Basic Pay + DA + HRA + TA + Other Allowances Net Salary = Gross Salary – Total Deductions
Below is the step-by-step method to calculate manually.
Step 1: Determine Current Basic Pay
- What to Do: Identify your current Basic Pay under the 7th Pay Commission (effective since 2016) based on your Pay Level and years of service.
- How: Check your latest payslip or refer to the 7th CPC Pay Matrix. Examples:
- Level 1 (GP 1800): ₹18,000 (starting) to ₹47,600.
- Level 10 (GP 5400): ₹56,100 to ₹1,77,500.
- Level 18 (Cabinet Secretary): ₹2,50,000 (fixed).
- Example: Assume a Level 1 employee with Basic Pay = ₹18,000.
Step 2: Check DA Merger
- What to Do: Decide if DA (55% as of May 2025) is merged with Basic Pay before applying the Fitment Factor.
- How:
- If DA is merged: Adjust Basic Pay = Current Basic Pay × (1 + 0.55).
- If DA is not merged: Use Current Basic Pay as is.
- Example:
- Merged: ₹18,000 × 1.55 = ₹27,900.
- Not Merged: ₹18,000.
Step 3: Calculate Revised Basic Pay
- What to Do: Apply the Fitment Factor to the Adjusted Basic Pay (or Current Basic Pay if DA is not merged).
- How: Revised Basic Pay = Adjusted Basic Pay × Fitment Factor.
- Default Fitment Factor = 2.86 (adjustable: 1.92, 2.28, 2.57).
- Example:
- Merged: ₹27,900 × 2.86 = ₹79,794.
- Not Merged: ₹18,000 × 2.86 = ₹51,480.
Step 4: Calculate Dearness Allowance (DA)
- What to Do: Compute DA on the Revised Basic Pay, unless DA is merged.
- How:
- If DA is merged, DA = 0.
- If not merged, DA = Revised Basic Pay × DA Rate (default 70% = 0.7).
- Example:
- Merged: DA = ₹0.
- Not Merged: ₹51,480 × 0.7 = ₹36,036.
Step 5: Calculate House Rent Allowance (HRA)
- What to Do: Determine HRA based on city classification and Revised Basic Pay.
- How:
- HRA Rates (when DA > 50%): X = 27%, Y = 18%, Z = 9%.
- HRA = Revised Basic Pay × HRA Rate.
- City Types:
- X: Metro cities (e.g., Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata).
- Y: Other large cities.
- Z: Rural/small towns.
- Example (Assume X city):
- Merged: ₹79,794 × 0.27 = ₹21,544.38.
- Not Merged: ₹51,480 × 0.27 = ₹13,899.60.
Step 6: Determine Transport Allowance (TA)
- What to Do: Assign a fixed TA based on Pay Level and city type.
- How:
- For Levels 1–8 in metro cities: ₹3,600 + DA on TA.
- For Levels 9+ in metro cities: ₹7,200 + DA on TA.
- Non-metro: Lower rates (e.g., ₹1,800).
- For simplicity, assume DA on TA is included or use fixed TA.
- Example: Assume ₹3,600 for Level 1 in metro city.
- TA = ₹3,600 (both scenarios).
Step 7: Calculate Other Allowances
- What to Do: Add allowances like HPCA/PCA, NPA, or others based on job role.
- How:
- HPCA/PCA:
- Level 8 and below: ₹4,100.
- Level 9 and above: ₹5,300.
- NPA (for IIT/NIT/UGC faculty): 20% of Revised Basic Pay.
- Other Allowances: Add specific amounts (e.g., Risk Allowance, Uniform Allowance) from payslip.
- HPCA/PCA:
- Example (Assume Level 1, non-faculty):
- HPCA: ₹4,100.
- NPA: ₹0 (no AGP).
- Total Other Allowances = ₹4,100.
Step 8: Calculate Deductions
- What to Do: Compute mandatory and optional deductions.
- How:
- NPS: 10% of (Revised Basic Pay + DA).
- CGHS: Fixed (e.g., ₹500–₹1,000 based on level).
- Other Deductions: Add amounts like LIC, taxes, or loans from payslip.
- Example:
- Merged: NPS = (₹79,794 + ₹0) × 0.10 = ₹7,979.40.
- Not Merged: NPS = (₹51,480 + ₹36,036) × 0.10 = ₹8,751.60.
- CGHS: Assume ₹500.
- Total Deductions:
- Merged: ₹7,979.40 + ₹500 = ₹8,479.40.
- Not Merged: ₹8,751.60 + ₹500 = ₹9,251.60.
Step 9: Calculate Gross and Net Salary
- What to Do: Sum all components for Gross Salary and subtract deductions for Net Salary.
- How:
- Gross Salary = Revised Basic Pay + DA + HRA + TA + Other Allowances.
- Net Salary = Gross Salary – Total Deductions.
- Example:
- Merged:
- Gross Salary = ₹79,794 + ₹0 + ₹21,544.38 + ₹3,600 + ₹4,100 = ₹109,038.38.
- Net Salary = ₹109,038.38 – ₹8,479.40 = ₹100,558.98.
- Not Merged:
- Gross Salary = ₹51,480 + ₹36,036 + ₹13,899.60 + ₹3,600 + ₹4,100 = ₹109,115.60.
- Net Salary = ₹109,115.60 – ₹9,251.60 = ₹99,864.
- Merged:
Step 10: Optional – Employer NPS Contribution
- What to Do: Calculate employer’s NPS contribution (not added to salary but for reference).
- How: Employer NPS = (Revised Basic Pay + DA) × 14%.
- Example:
- Merged: (₹79,794 + ₹0) × 0.14 = ₹11,171.16.
- Not Merged: (₹51,480 + ₹36,036) × 0.14 = ₹12,251.04.
