The 8th CPC hasn't submitted its report yet, but you can try any fitment factor to see what your revised basic pay and gross salary could look like.
Common cited estimates: around 1.92x as a conservative consensus figure, 2.28x to 2.57x in analyst mid range estimates, and 2.86x to 3.68x based on employee union demand. Nothing is confirmed by the government yet.
The 8th Central Pay Commission was constituted in November 2025 under Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, with 18 months to submit its report. As of mid-2026, it is still holding stakeholder consultations. No fitment factor, revised pay matrix or implementation date has been officially announced. The commonly discussed reference date for implementation is 1 January 2026, but most trackers expect the actual rollout, with retrospective arrears, to land sometime in 2027.
Enter your current 7th CPC basic pay, then move the fitment factor slider to try different possible outcomes. The calculator multiplies your basic pay by the fitment factor you pick, resets DA to zero on that new basic since that's how it works after every pay commission, and adds a projected HRA based on your city class to arrive at a projected gross figure. Since nothing is confirmed yet, treat this as a "what if" tool rather than a forecast.
The fitment factor is the single multiplier that decides how much your basic pay jumps. However, because DA resets to zero on the new basic, your real in-hand increase is much smaller than the fitment factor suggests. For example, at 60% DA today, a 1.92x fitment factor absorbs most of that DA into the new basic, so the actual take-home rise works out closer to 15% to 30%, not 92%.
No. As of mid-2026 it's in the consultation phase, with no fitment factor or implementation date finalised.
Estimates range from around 1.92x to 3.68x. Try different values on the slider to see the range of possible outcomes.
If notified after 1 January 2026, the government typically pays the pay difference for the gap period as a lump sum arrear.
