Calculate your monthly salary based on the 7th Pay Commission Pay Level 8 (interpreted as '8th Grade Pay'). Adjust the Basic Pay, DA Rate, Transport Allowance, and Other Allowances as needed. Select your city category to calculate HRA.
| Component | 7th Pay Commission | 8th Pay Commission (Hypothetical) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Pay | ₹0.00 | ₹0.00 |
| Dearness Allowance (DA) | ₹0.00 | ₹0.00 |
| House Rent Allowance (HRA) | ₹0.00 | ₹0.00 |
| Transport Allowance (TA) | ₹0.00 | ₹0.00 |
| Other Allowances | ₹0.00 | ₹0.00 |
| Total Salary | ₹0.00 | ₹0.00 |
This calculator uses the 7th Pay Commission Pay Level 8 as a basis for '8th Grade Pay' since the 8th Pay Commission has not been officially announced as of May 2025. The default Basic Pay is set to ₹47,600 (Pay Level 8 starting pay).
The total salary is calculated as follows:
Total Salary = Basic Pay + DA + HRA + Transport Allowance + Other Allowances
Components:
- Dearness Allowance (DA): DA Rate (%) × Basic Pay. Default DA Rate is 50% (as of 2025).
- House Rent Allowance (HRA): Depends on city category: 24% (Class X), 16% (Class Y), or 8% (Class Z) of Basic Pay.
- Transport Allowance (TA): Base TA + (DA Rate × Base TA). Default TA is ₹3,600 for metro cities.
- Other Allowances: Additional allowances like medical, special duty, etc., as applicable (default is ₹0).
Hypothetical 8th Pay Commission: For comparison, the calculator assumes a 15% increase in Basic Pay and a 5% increase in DA Rate. This is speculative and will be updated once the 8th Pay Commission is announced.
Note: The 8th Pay Commission is not yet official. This calculator will be updated once the 8th Pay Commission is announced by the Indian government.
- Class X Cities (24% HRA): Major metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Pune, with higher living costs.
- Class Y Cities (16% HRA): Smaller cities and towns like Jaipur, Lucknow, Nagpur, Patna, Kochi, and others with moderate living costs.
- Class Z Cities (8% HRA): Rural areas, smaller towns, and other locations with lower living costs.
