About the 8th CPC Salary Calculator

Compare your current 7th CPC gross salary with the expected 8th CPC gross using your pay level, basic pay, city category, and chosen fitment factor.

New Basic = Current Basic × Fitment Factor. DA resets to 0% at implementation; HRA is recalculated on the new basic.

Frequently asked questions

What fitment factor will the 8th CPC use?

Not officially announced yet. Unions demand 3.83× (minimum ₹69,000). Analysts commonly estimate 2.57× to 2.86×. Use the calculator to compare scenarios.

Why does gross change modestly even with a higher fitment factor?

Current 60% DA merges into the fitment calculation and resets to 0%. Transport allowance also drops temporarily without DA. Long-term benefit comes from DA building on a higher basic.

Which pay level should I select?

Choose your 7th CPC level from the dropdown (Level 1–18). Entry basic pay fills automatically — adjust to match your actual payslip basic if you are higher in the level.
