8th Pay Commission (CPC) Salary Calculation Rules

The 8th Central Pay Commission (CPC) will determine the salary structure for central government employees based on fitment factor, allowances, deductions, and tax policies. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how salaries will be calculated under the 8th CPC, covering all policies, rules, and regulations.

1. Basic Pay Calculation (Fitment Factor)

The Basic Pay under the 8th CPC is calculated by applying a multiplication factor (Fitment Factor) to the existing 7th CPC Basic Pay.

Formula:

8th CPC Basic Pay=7th CPC Basic Pay×Fitment Factor

Expected Fitment Factor:

• 3.68x (Default Assumption) – Similar to the 7th CPC’s 2.57x hike.
• Final Fitment Factor will be decided by the government.

Example:

If an employee’s 7th CPC Basic Pay = ₹35,000, then:

₹35,000×3.68=₹1,28,800 (New Basic Pay)

2. Dearness Allowance (DA) Calculation

DA is a cost-of-living adjustment paid as a percentage of Basic Pay.

Current DA Rate (Expected in 8th CPC):

• 4% (Default in Calculator) – Subject to revision.

Formula:

DA Amount=Basic Pay×(DA %100)

Example:

If Basic Pay = ₹1,28,800 and DA = 4%:

₹1,28,800×0.04=₹5,152 (Monthly DA)

3. House Rent Allowance (HRA) Calculation

HRA depends on:

1. City Classification (X, Y, Z)
2. DA Percentage

HRA Rates (Expected):

DA %	X-City (24-30%)	Y-City (16-20%)	Z-City (8-10%)
≤ 25%	24%	16%	8%
25% < DA ≤ 50%	27%	18%	9%
> 50%	30%	20%	10%

Formula:

HRA=Basic Pay×(HRA %100)

Example:

• Basic Pay = ₹1,28,800
• City = X-City
• DA = 4% (HRA Rate = 24%)

₹1,28,800×0.24=₹30,912 (Monthly HRA)

4. Travel Allowance (TA) Calculation

TA depends on:

1. Pay Level
2. City Type (Higher TPTA / Other Cities)

TA Rates (Expected):

Pay Level	Higher TPTA Cities	Other Cities
Level 1-2	₹1,350	₹900
Level 3-6	₹3,600	₹1,800
Level 7+	₹7,200+	₹3,600+

DA on TA:

DA on TA=TA×(DA %100)

Example:

• Pay Level = 5
• City Type = Higher TPTA (₹3,600)
• DA = 4%

₹3,600×0.04=₹144 (DA on TA)

5. Gross Salary Calculation

Gross Salary = Basic Pay + DA + HRA + TA + DA on TA + Other Allowances

Example:

Component	Amount (₹)
Basic Pay	1,28,800
DA (4%)	5,152
HRA (24%)	30,912
TA	3,600
DA on TA	144
Gross Salary	1,68,608

6. Deductions

A. National Pension System (NPS) – 10% of (Basic + DA)

NPS=(Basic Pay+DA)×0.10

Example:

(₹1,28,800+₹5,152)×0.10=₹13,395 (Monthly NPS)

B. Professional Tax (State-wise)

State	Tax Slabs
Andhra Pradesh	₹0 (≤ ₹15K), ₹150 (₹15K-20K), ₹200 (> ₹20K)
Assam	₹0 (≤ ₹10K), ₹150 (₹10K-15K), ₹180 (₹15K-25K), ₹208 (> ₹25K)
Bihar	₹0 (≤ ₹25K), ₹83 (₹25K-41,667), ₹167 (₹41,667-83,333), ₹208 (> ₹83,333)

C. CGHS Contribution (Fixed Based on Pay Level)

Pay Level	Monthly CGHS (₹)
Level 1-5	250
Level 6-11	450-650
Level 12+	1,000

D. Income Tax (New Regime – FY 2025-26)

• Standard Deduction: ₹75,000
• Tax Slabs (Expected):

Income (Annual)	Tax Rate
Up to ₹12,00,000	0%
₹12,00,001 - ₹15,00,000	5%
₹15,00,001 - ₹18,00,000	10%
Above ₹18,00,000	15-30%

Example:

• Annual Income = ₹20,00,000
• Taxable Income = ₹20,00,000 - ₹75,000 = ₹19,25,000
• Tax = ₹1,25,000 (After slab-wise calculation)

7. Net Salary Calculation

Net Salary=Gross Salary−(NPS+Professional Tax+CGHS+Income Tax+Other Deductions)

Example:

Deduction	Amount (₹)
NPS	13,395
Professional Tax	200
CGHS	650
Income Tax (Monthly)	10,417
Total Deductions	24,662
Net Salary	1,68,608 - 24,662 = ₹1,43,946

8. Additional Policies & Rules

A. Leave Travel Allowance (LTA)

• Tax-exempt for 2 journeys in a block of 4 years.
• Claim process: Submit bills for train/flight tickets.

B. Children Education Allowance (CEA)

• ₹2,250/month per child (max 2 children).
• Hostel Subsidy: ₹6,750/month.

C. Transport Allowance (For Disabled Employees)

• Double the normal TA rate.

D. Pension Calculation (For Retirees)

• 50% of Last Drawn Basic Pay (Minimum Pension = ₹9,000).
• DA applies similarly to pensioners.

The 8th CPC salary calculation follows a structured approach:

1. Basic Pay × Fitment Factor
2. DA, HRA, TA based on city & pay level
3. Gross Salary = Sum of all earnings
4. Deductions (NPS, Tax, CGHS, etc.)
5. Net Salary = Gross – Deductions

This system ensures transparency and uniformity in salary revisions. Final calculations will be confirmed only after the official 8th CPC notification.
