Understanding Your 7th CPC Salary Structure

The 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) brought significant revisions to the salary structure of Central Government employees, aiming for transparency and rationalization. This calculator helps you estimate your monthly salary based on these recommendations, incorporating the latest Dearness Allowance (DA) and other key components.

Key Components Calculated:

Basic Pay: Determined by your selected Pay Level and specific cell within the Pay Matrix.
Dearness Allowance (DA): A percentage of your Basic Pay, revised periodically to offset inflation. This calculator uses the selected DA rate (e.g., 55%).
House Rent Allowance (HRA): Varies based on your city classification (X, Y, Z). The HRA rates are revised when DA crosses certain thresholds (e.g., 25% and 50%). When DA is above 50%, HRA rates are 30%, 20%, and 10% for X, Y, and Z cities respectively.
Transport Allowance (TA/TPTA): Depends on your city (Higher TPTA cities vs. Other Places) and your Pay Level. DA is also applicable on TA.
Gross Salary: The sum of Basic Pay, DA, HRA, TA, and any other applicable allowances.

Common Deductions:

National Pension System (NPS): A mandatory 10% deduction from (Basic Pay + DA) for employees under NPS. The government contributes 14%.
Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS): A monthly contribution based on your Pay Level for health facilities.
Income Tax: Estimated based on the New Tax Regime. For a more accurate calculation, you can input your estimated annual income.

This calculator provides a clear breakdown of your potential earnings and deductions, helping you understand your net take-home salary. Remember to select your options carefully for an accurate estimation. For official calculations, always refer to your salary slip or consult with your administrative department.

Always verify the current official DA rate.

HRA depends on the classification of the city (X, Y, or Z) where the employee is posted. As per 7th CPC, when DA crosses 50%, the HRA rates are revised to 30% for X cities, 20% for Y cities, and 10% for Z cities, calculated on the Basic Pay.
