What Is the 8th Pay Commission?
The Pay Commission is a government-appointed body that reviews pay, allowances and related service conditions for eligible government employees. This calculator is designed to help users explore estimated salary outcomes by entering a Basic Pay amount, a Fitment Factor, DA percentage and HRA percentage.
Fitment Factor, DA and HRA
What is Fitment Factor?
The fitment factor is a multiplier used in a salary estimation to derive a revised basic pay from the current basic pay. Because official 8th Pay Commission recommendations may differ, this calculator allows the user to enter the factor manually.
What is DA?
Dearness Allowance (DA) is an allowance linked to inflation and government pay rules. Enter the DA percentage you want the calculator to use.
What is HRA?
House Rent Allowance (HRA) is an allowance that can vary according to applicable rules and location. This calculator provides selectable HRA assumptions of 10%, 12%, 15%, 20% and 30%.
