8th Pay Commission Revised Salary Calculations: For a central government, the 8th Pay Commission has a lot of importance. Not just their basic salary, but their house rent allowance (HRA), travel allowance (TA), child education allowance (CEA), or other allowances are likely to see a substantial rise in the 8th Pay Commission salary revision. The revised payout may be more than double their existing salaries.

It will depend on the fitment factor that the pay commission decides on.

But if you are an employee with Grade 2,000 (Level 3, basic Rs 26,000, basic Rs 41,800), Grade 4,200 (Level 6, basic pay 42,300, Rs 68,000), Grade 4,600 (Level 7, basic pay Rs 50,500, basic pay Rs 70,000) and Grade Pay 5400 (Level 9, basic pay Rs 80,200) in terms of 7th Pay Commission pay matrix.

What may be your revised salary at a 2.57 fitment factor?

How much house rent allowance (HRA), travel allowance (TA), you may receive post revision.

What may be your revised National Pension System (NPS) and Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) contributions?

How much total in-hand salary may you get in the new pay commission? See our estimates to know-  

What can be fitment factor for 8th Pay Commission?

There are many projections and expert opinions related to the fitment factor in the 8th Pay Commission. The most-talked about fitment factors are 2.04, 2.28, 2.57, and 2.86.

HRA, TA will also be revised

Not just the basic salary, but a lot of allowances, such as HRA and TA, will also be revised.

Both these allowances are based on the employee’s place of stay and travel. For the same-level employee, they can be different if their posting is in rural or urban area. 

NPS, CGHS charges will also be revised

In central government jobs, the employee contribution to their NPS account is 10 per cent of their basic pay and dearness allowance (DA), while the employer contribution is 14 per cent.

Since the employee’s basic pay will be revised, their NPS contribution will also increase automatically. 

What will we calculate?

We will calculate the projected revised pay for employees with Grade 2,000 (Level 3, basic Rs 26,000 and Rs 41,800), Grade 4,200 (Level 6, basic pay 42,300 and Rs 68,000), Grade 4,600 (Level 7, basic pay Rs 50,500 and Rs 70,000) and Grade Pay 5400 (Level 9, basic pay Rs 80,200) at a 2.57 fitment factor.

We will also calculate the projected revised house rent allowance (HRA), travel allowance (TA), National Pension System (NPS), Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) contributions, and the net salary. We are calculating HRA at 24 per cent, and TA for higher TPA cities.
