Central government employees and pensioners are eagerly awaiting the Eighth Pay Commission. Employees have many questions, including how much their salaries will increase after the new pay commission is implemented, how much money they will receive, and how much arrears they will receive. The important thing is that you don't need to visit any office for this. With some simple calculations, you can estimate your new salary yourself.

What will change in the 8th Pay Commission?

Currently, discussions are underway regarding a fitment factor of 1.92 for the Eighth Pay Commission. However, this is not the government's final decision. This is a tentative figure. Therefore, the actual salary increase will be based on the government's final decision.

How to calculate your new salary in 8 steps

1. New Basic Salary: The current basic salary is multiplied by the fitment factor. For example, if the basic salary is ₹18,000, the new basic salary will be ₹34,560 based on a fitment factor of 1.92.

2. HRA calculation: House Rent Allowance is calculated based on city categories X, Y, and Z. For example, if the HRA is 30%, then Rs 34,560 will become Rs 10,368.

3. Transport Allowance: Travel allowance is given according to the pay level and city of the employee.

4. Gross Salary: Gross salary is calculated after adding new basic, HRA, transport allowance and other applicable allowances.

5. NPS Deduction: NPS contribution is deducted from the salary of eligible employees as per the rules.

6. CGHS Deduction: Applicable monthly fees of health scheme are deducted.

7. Income Tax: Income tax is calculated based on the annual income and applicable tax rules.

8. Net Salary: Take-home salary is determined after deducting NPS, CGHS and other applicable deductions from the gross salary.

How much arrears will I get?

If the new pay commission's effective date and actual implementation date differ, eligible employees may receive arrears as per the rules. However, the amount of arrears will depend on the final pay scale, the effective date, and the government's decision.
