Use the 8th Pay Commission Salary Calculator to estimate revised basic pay using your current basic pay and an assumed fitment factor.
The 8th Pay Commission Salary Calculator estimates revised basic pay for Central Government employees using a fitment factor that you enter. The official 8th Central Pay Commission was constituted on 3 November 2025 and has 18 months to submit its recommendations.The official Terms of Reference do not publish a final fitment factor or revised pay matrix, so this calculator is a scenario tool rather than an official salary-revision calculator.
The calculator applies your selected fitment factor to your current monthly basic pay. It shows the resulting estimated revised basic pay, rupee increase and percentage change.
Central Government employees can use it to compare salary-revision scenarios before an official pay structure is notified. If you want to measure a normal appraisal hike separately, use Toolisky's Salary Increment Calculator for the old-versus-new salary comparison.
The result covers basic pay only. It doesn't add DA, HRA, transport allowance, tax or deductions. Once you have a revised salary scenario, Toolisky's In Hand Salary Calculator can help estimate the amount left after payroll deductions.
The official Terms of Reference give the Commission authority to examine and recommend changes to pay, allowances and related benefits. They do not state a final fitment factor. (8th CPC Terms of Reference)
For a user-selected scenario, the calculator uses:
Estimated Revised Basic Pay
= Current Basic Pay × Assumed Fitment Factor
Estimated Increase
= Estimated Revised Basic Pay − Current Basic Pay
Estimated Increase %
= (Assumed Fitment Factor − 1) × 100
The rupee results displayed by the calculator round to the nearest whole rupee. The percentage result displays two decimal places.
For example, a current basic pay of ₹42,000 with a selected factor of 2.00 gives:
₹42,000 × 2.00
= ₹84,000 estimated revised basic pay
₹84,000 − ₹42,000
= ₹42,000 estimated increase
(2.00 − 1) × 100
= 100.00% estimated increase
The 2.00 factor in this example is an input scenario. It is not an official 8th CPC rate. The Commission's official site continues to publish consultations and other proceedings in 2026. (8th CPC What's New) If a later pay revision produces arrears, Toolisky's Salary Arrears Tax Relief Calculator is the more relevant next step for the tax side.
The tool does not treat any circulating fitment-factor estimate as an official rate.
Step 1 — Current basic pay: Suresh enters ₹42,000 as his monthly basic pay.
Step 2 — Assumed fitment factor: He enters 2.00 as the scenario factor he wants to test.
Step 3 — Revised basic pay: ₹42,000 × 2.00 = ₹84,000.
Step 4 — Rupee increase: ₹84,000 − ₹42,000 = ₹42,000.
Step 5 — Percentage increase: (2.00 − 1) × 100 = 100%.
Suresh's scenario therefore produces an estimated revised basic pay of ₹84,000 and an estimated increase of ₹42,000 per month. For a separate tax-adjusted view of a salary hike, compare the same old and new figures in Toolisky's Salary Increment Calculator.
The result doesn't mean his take-home salary will double. Actual take-home pay also depends on allowances, deductions and tax rules that apply to the employee.
The Commission's official memorandum process has included Central Government employees, All India Services personnel, Defence Forces personnel, Union Territories personnel and pensioners among the groups invited to submit representations. Employees comparing the revised basic with total CTC can also use Toolisky's CTC Calculator to work backward from a target in-hand salary.
The Government constituted the 8th Central Pay Commission on 3 November 2025. Its official About Us page says the Commission has 18 months to submit its report. (8th CPC About Us)
The Commission's official website continues to list consultations and visits in 2026, including notices for Jaipur, Chandigarh, Puducherry and Chennai. (8th CPC What's New)
The Terms of Reference direct the Commission to examine and recommend changes to pay, allowances and other benefits. They do not specify a final fitment factor. (8th CPC Terms of Reference) For tax planning after a salary change, the Salary Tax Calculator India is the closest follow-on tool.
[VERIFY] No final 8th CPC fitment factor or revised pay matrix was published on the official 8th CPC pages reviewed for this audit as of 23 August 2026. Recheck the official Commission site before publishing any future calculator default.
Until an official factor is published, circulating fitment-factor figures should be treated as scenarios or unofficial estimates, not as the current Government-approved 8th CPC rate. When a final factor is announced, update the scenario input and then use Toolisky's Salary Tax Calculator India to assess the tax effect on the resulting annual salary.
The official 8th CPC Terms of Reference do not state a final fitment factor. The calculator therefore asks you to enter a scenario factor instead of presenting an unofficial number as confirmed. Check the official Commission website before relying on any newly announced factor.
For this calculator's scenario method, multiply your current basic pay by the fitment factor you want to test. If your basic pay is ₹40,000 and the selected factor is 2.00, the estimated revised basic pay is ₹80,000. That figure is a scenario until an official revised pay structure is notified. If you then want to compare the resulting annual salary under the two income-tax regimes, use Toolisky's Old vs New Tax Regime Calculator.
The official 8th CPC Terms of Reference do not publish 2.86 as the Commission's final fitment factor. You can test 2.86 in this calculator, but the result remains an estimate. Treat 2.86 as a scenario unless an official Government notification establishes it.
The Commission has 18 months from its constitution on 3 November 2025 to submit its recommendations. The official About Us page therefore places the report deadline around May 2027. That deadline is for the Commission's report, not a guaranteed date for revised salary credits.
No. The calculator estimates revised basic pay only. It doesn't add DA, HRA, transport allowance, tax or other deductions because the final 8th CPC pay structure and allowance decisions are not part of the scenario formula. Use the result as a basic-pay estimate, not as final take-home salary. For a post-deduction estimate, use the In Hand Salary Calculator.
Pensioners can use the tool to test a simple multiplier scenario, but the output isn't a pension entitlement calculation. Pension revision depends on the rules and recommendations that ultimately apply to pensioners. The official 8th CPC site includes pensioners in its memorandum process.
Not necessarily. A 2.00 factor doubles the starting basic pay in this scenario, but take-home salary also depends on allowances, tax and deductions. If you are planning your finances in India, compare the revised basic-pay scenario with your actual payroll components using the In Hand Salary Calculator. For the income-tax effect, use the Salary Tax Calculator India.
