What is Fitment Factor in 8th CPC?

Fitment Factor is the multiplier used to revise salaries and pensions.

CPCFitment FactorAverage Salary Increase
6th CPC1.86x~40%
7th CPC2.57x~23.5%
8th CPC2.86x (Expected)~35–40%

Example: If your current Basic Pay is ₹56,100,

56,100 × 2.86 = ₹1,28,414 (New Basic Pay)

This is before adding HRA, TA, or other allowances.

7th CPC vs 8th CPC Salary Comparison Table

Let’s say you’re in Level 10 (₹56,100 Basic Pay) and living in an X class city:

Component7th CPC8th CPC
Basic Pay₹56,100₹1,28,414
DA (50%)₹28,050₹0 (reset)
HRA (30%)₹16,830₹38,524
TA₹7,200₹10,800
Gross Pay₹1,08,180₹1,77,738

HRA After 8th CPC (By City Type)

Once DA reaches 50%, HRA also changes as per city type:

City TypeHRA % of Basic
X (Metro cities)30%
Y (Tier 2)20%

So for ₹1,28,414 Basic Pay:

  • X City = ₹38,524 HRA
  • Y City = ₹25,682 HRA
  • Z City = ₹12,841 HRA

Transport Allowance in 8th Pay Commission

Transport Allowance is likely to rise in 8th CPC. As of now:

Employee GroupTA (Expected)

Others in X/Y/Z₹5,400–₹7,200 (depending on level)

The calculator lets you enter your TA manually.

Pension Calculation in 8th CPC

Let’s say you are a pensioner getting ₹25,000/month as basic pension:

New Pension = ₹25,000 × 2.86 = ₹71,500 (Before DR)

After the 8th CPC, DR (Dearness Relief) resets to 0%, then increases every 6 months like DA.

For family pensioners, same logic applies.
