The 7th Pay Commission introduced significant changes to the salary structure of central government employees. Our calculator considers all critical components:
The foundation of your salary calculation, determined by your pay level and cell in the 7th CPC matrix. The calculator automatically applies the appropriate multiplication factor (2.57 to 2.81) based on your pay level when converting from 6th CPC.
This inflation-linked allowance is revised biannually. Our calculator applies the current DA rate you specify to your basic pay.

This allowance compensates for commuting expenses and differs based on your city type and pay level. Higher TAs apply to employees in higher pay levels and metropolitan cities.

The multiplication factor ranges from 2.57 to 2.81 depending on your pay level in the 6th CPC. For most employees, the standard multiplication factor is 2.57. Our calculator automatically applies the correct factor based on your inputs.
HRA is calculated as a percentage of your basic pay. The rates are 27% for X cities (population > 50 lakh), 18% for Y cities (population 5-50 lakh), and 9% for Z cities (population < 5 lakh). The calculator lets you select your city classification for accurate results.
The 7th CPC introduced higher pay scales, revised allowances, and a new pay matrix system. On average, salaries increased by 14.29% over 6th CPC. The calculator shows the exact difference when you input your 6th CPC details.
Dearness Allowance is revised twice yearly - in January and July. The calculator uses your input DA rate, so you can always update it to reflect current rates for accurate calculations.
While the basic structure is similar, state governments may implement different allowance rates. This calculator follows central government norms. State employees should verify specific rules with their administration.
TA depends on your city classification and pay level. For Pay Level 1-2, it's ₹1,350+DA (Z), ₹2,025+DA (Y), ₹3,600+DA (X). Higher levels get ₹3,600+DA (Z), ₹5,400+DA (Y), ₹7,200+DA (X). The calculator lets you input your exact TA.
The minimum pension was raised to ₹9,000 per month under 7th CPC, a significant increase from ₹3,500 in 6th CPC. For NPS subscribers, pension depends on contributions and annuity choices.
The 7th CPC introduced a pay matrix with horizontal (within level) and vertical (between levels) progression. Each cell has a specific pay amount. Our calculator helps you locate your correct position in the matrix.
Several allowances like family planning allowance, cash handling allowance, and cycle allowance were abolished. Others like risk allowance were subsumed into new risk and hardship matrix.
While this calculator shows current salary, you can calculate arrears by comparing your pre-7th CPC salary with the new structure. The difference multiplied by the arrears period gives approximate arrears amount.
