8th Pay Commission Salary Calculator
Estimate your revised basic pay, HRA, and gross salary under the 8th Pay Commission — adjust the fitment factor as negotiations between employee unions and the government continue.
This number is multiplied against your current Basic Pay to estimate your revised Basic Pay — e.g. at 2.57x, a ₹44,900 basic becomes about ₹1,15,393. It hasn't been decided yet; move the slider to see different scenarios.
Estimated New Basic Pay
vs current basic of ₹44,900 — at 2.57x fitment factor
Current (7th CPC)
Estimated Day 1 of 8th CPC (DA resets to 0%)
This compares your gross pay on the day the 8th CPC is implemented (when DA resets to 0%) against your current gross. It excludes Transport Allowance and other components, and assumes HRA percentage slabs carry over unchanged — none of which is confirmed yet. Once DA starts accumulating again post-implementation, your gross will rise further, same as under the 7th CPC.
Frequently Asked Questions
Has the 8th Pay Commission fitment factor been decided?
No. As of mid-2026, the Commission has completed stakeholder consultations across several states but has not submitted its final recommendations. Employee unions have proposed fitment factors ranging from 1.82x to 3.83x, while the government is reportedly considering keeping it close to 2.57x, the same multiplier used in the 7th Pay Commission.
How is the fitment factor applied to my salary?
The standard formula is: Revised Basic Pay = Current Basic Pay × Fitment Factor. For example, at a 2.57x fitment factor, a current basic pay of ₹44,900 would become approximately ₹1,15,393.
What happens to my Dearness Allowance (DA) when a new pay commission is implemented?
DA resets to 0% on the day the new pay commission's revised basic pay takes effect, since the DA accumulated under the old system is effectively absorbed into the fitment factor. DA then starts accumulating again from the next revision cycle (typically January and July).
When will the 8th Pay Commission be implemented?
Based on past pay commission timelines (the 7th CPC took about 21 months from constitution to Cabinet approval), the 8th CPC's report is expected around mid-2027, with implementation and arrears likely retroactive to January 1, 2026 — though this hasn't been officially notified.
