With discussions around the 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC) gaining momentum, employees are curious about how their future salaries might be impacted. The Acadlog 8th Pay Commission Salary Calculator offers a tentative, user-friendly tool to estimate post-8th CPC pay based on different levels, cities, and allowances. Though unofficial, it gives a practical idea of what the future holds.
How the 8th Pay Commission Salary Calculator Works?
The tool considers multiple parameters to calculate estimated salaries under the 8th CPC:
1. Pay Level Selection
Users can select their pay level based on Grade Pay (GP) or Academic Grade Pay (AGP). The levels range from:
- Level 1 (GP 1800)
- To Level 18 (Cabinet Secretary)
There are also special AGP levels for faculty in institutions like IITs, NITs, and under UGC norms.
2. Basic Pay Input
After choosing the pay level, users input their current basic pay. This forms the base of the salary calculation.
3. Fitment Factor
Fitment factor represents the multiplier applied to basic pay. Options provided include:
- 1.92
- 2.08
- 2.28
- 2.57 (7th CPC)
- 2.86 (tentative projection)
4. House Rent Allowance (HRA)
HRA is adjusted according to city classification:
- X City: 30%, 27%, or 24%
- Y City: 20%, 18%, or 16%
- Z City: 10%, 09%, or 08%
- Option for “No HRA” also exists
5. Transport Allowance (TA)
Users choose between:
- Higher TPTA Cities
- Other Cities
- No TA
6. Dearness Allowance (DA)
DA options range from 0% to 55%, allowing flexibility to forecast under different inflation conditions.
What You Can Expect from the Calculation
Based on the selections, the calculator quickly estimates your revised salary, incorporating:
- Revised basic pay
- HRA
- TA
- DA
Note: The result is a tentative figure and not official. It serves as a helpful reference for planning and expectation setting.
