Features That Make This the Most Powerful 8th CPC Calculator
Input Your Current 7th CPC Basic Pay
Just enter your current basic — e.g., ₹56,100, ₹44,900, ₹67,700, etc.
Dynamic Fitment Factor (Default: 2.86)
Default fitment is set to 2.86 (as speculated), but you can test with 3.0, 2.95, 3.1 — ideal for what-if CPC planning.
DR Reset Logic Built-In
Tick the box “Salary After 8th CPC” to simulate actual CPC effect:
- DA is automatically reset to 0%
- HRA auto-adjusts to 24%, 16%, or 8% depending on your city (X/Y/Z)
Untick to test with current rates — like DA Percentage and existing HRA.
Dynamic DA (Dearness Allowance)
You can enter your own DA % — default is 0% to reflect 8th CPC reality.
DA is calculated separately on Basic and TA.
Transport Allowance (TA) as per Pay Level
Select as per 7th CPC pay level:
- ₹1,350 → Level 1–5
- ₹3,600 → Level 6–8
- ₹7,200 → Level 9+
- Or enter custom TA if your department follows different amounts.
DA on TA (Optional)
Leave blank to auto-apply DA % on TA, or enter a separate DA % if your ministry has custom orders.
HRA Selection + Custom Option
Choose from standard slabs:
- X City → 30% (or 24% after CPC)
- Y City → 20% (or 16%)
- Z City → 10% (or 8%)
Or enter your own custom HRA % like 15%, 22%, etc.

What About Pensioners? — Projected Pension after 8th CPC
For pensioners, the same fitment factor of 2.86 will apply to your basic pension. Here’s how it may look:
| Current Basic Pension | 8th CPC Revised Pension (2.86×) |
| ₹25,000 | ₹71,500 |
| ₹30,000 | ₹85,800 |
| ₹40,000 | ₹1,14,400 |
| ₹50,000 | ₹1,43,000 |
Family pensioners will also get the benefit, calculated based on 30% of the last basic pay (not exceeding ₹7,15,000 in Level 18).
Will There Be Arrears?
Yes, if the 8th CPC is implemented from January 2026, and the official order comes after that date, then arrears will be calculated from 1 Jan 2026 till the date of salary revision.
Most likely, central employees may receive arrears for 2–3 months if delay happens. These arrears will include difference in basic + DA + HRA + TA if applicable.
Why This Hike Is Expected — Explained Simply
In India, a Pay Commission is set up every 10 years. The 7th Pay Commission was implemented in 2016. As inflation rises and cost of living increases, government forms a new commission to revise salaries.
Also:
- AICPI index is regularly increasing
- DA has crossed 55%, triggering reset
- Employees are demanding better fitment and perks
Hence, 8th CPC is expected in Budget 2026 or before.
What’s Next? — Expected Salary Hike Timeline
- July 2025 DA Hike: Already expected to reach 59% (from 55%)
- 8th CPC Order: May come in late 2025 or early 2026
- Implementation: Likely from 1 January 2026
- Fitment Factor: Could be fixed between 2.72 to 3.0, but 2.86 is realistic now
8th Pay Commission Highlights (So Far)
| Feature | Expected Status |
| Fitment Factor | 2.86 (projected) |
| Implementation Date | 1 Jan 2026 (likely) |
