Quick answers
Know what the estimate means
The few details that matter before you compare a scenario.
Is this an official 8th Pay Commission calculator?
No. This is an independent estimation tool. The Government has not notified a final fitment factor or 8th CPC pay matrix, so every projected figure is an estimate.
Has the 8th Pay Commission been implemented?
The Commission has been constituted and is preparing its recommendations. A final pay matrix and fitment factor have not yet been notified. The calculator therefore compares transparent scenarios, not an approved salary slip.
What is a fitment factor?
A fitment factor is a multiplier used to convert an existing basic pay into a projected revised basic pay. You can compare 1.92, 2.28 and 2.57 here, or enter your own assumption.
Why is projected 8th CPC DA set to 0%?
A new pay commission typically absorbs the existing DA into revised basic pay and restarts DA from zero. This remains an assumption for the 8th CPC, so the advanced settings let you change it.
