What Is the 8th Pay Commission?
The 8th Pay Commission is a government-appointed panel responsible for revising salaries, allowances, and pensions of Central Government employees. It will replace the 7th Pay Commission and define the salary structure for the next 10 years (2026–2036).
Key focus areas include revised basic pay, a new fitment factor, updated HRA rules, pension reforms, and a simplified pay matrix.
How the 8th Pay Commission Salary Calculator Works
The calculator estimates your revised salary using your current basic pay, expected fitment factor, and applicable allowances.
It calculates:
- Revised Basic Pay
- House Rent Allowance (HRA)
- Dearness Allowance (DA, if applicable)
- Other monthly allowances
- Gross monthly & annual salary
- Revised pension (optional)
Calculation logic:
- Revised Basic Pay = Current Basic × Fitment Factor
- HRA = Revised Basic × City Rate (X/Y/Z)
- Gross Salary = Revised Basic + HRA + DA + Other Allowances
Expected 8th CPC Fitment Factor Explained
The fitment factor is the multiplier used to revise basic pay under the 8th Pay Commission.
- Minimum expected: 1.83
- Most likely: 2.28
- Upper estimate: 2.46
A higher fitment factor directly increases basic pay, HRA, pension, and future DA calculations.
Expected Salary Increase After 8th Pay Commission
The 8th CPC salary increase percentage is expected to be between 30% and 35%, depending on pay level and city category.
Employees in metro cities (X-class HRA) are likely to receive the highest overall salary hike.
Minimum Basic Pay Under 8th Pay Commission
The current minimum basic pay under the 7th Pay Commission is ₹18,000.
Under the 8th CPC, experts expect it to increase to:
- ₹26,000 (conservative estimate)
- Up to ₹30,000 (optimistic scenario)
This will significantly benefit entry-level and Group-C employees.
Revised Pay Matrix – 8th Pay Commission (Expected)

The revised pay matrix will serve as the foundation for increments and promotions throughout the next decade.
