How the 8th Pay Commission Calculator Works
Every pay commission revises central government salaries using a fitment factor — a single multiplier applied to your existing basic pay. Your new basic pay is simply:
New basic pay = Current basic pay × Fitment factor (rounded to the nearest ₹100)
The catch is Dearness Allowance. DA exists to offset inflation between pay commissions, and when new pay scales take effect it is reset to zero — the fitment factor already absorbs it. So the honest comparison isn't old basic vs new basic; it's old basic + DA vs new basic. With DA at 60%, a fitment factor of 2.57 raises your basic + DA by about 61%, not 157%.
House Rent Allowance also changes. With DA above 50%, HRA today is 30%, 20% or 10% of basic for X, Y and Z cities. When the 7th Pay Commission reset DA in 2016, HRA restarted at 24%, 16% and 8%. This calculator assumes the 8th Pay Commission follows the same pattern — another assumption, flagged as such.
Where things stand: the 8th Central Pay Commission was constituted on 3 November 2025, chaired by Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, with an 18-month mandate — so its report is expected around May 2027. As of October 2026 it is still consulting; no fitment factor, pay matrix or implementation date has been announced. Treat every number here — including those you see in news reports — as a projection.
Not included: transport allowance, NPS/GPF deductions, income tax, and other allowances that vary by post. Pensioners can use the same multiplier on their basic pension for a rough estimate.
