How are you estimating salary after 8th Pay Commission in India?

  • Kalu Kumar

    I was trying to estimate my salary after the 8th Pay Commission and initially used Excel, but it became messy with different assumptions.

    Then I found an 8th CPC salary calculator online which made things easier to visualize.

    Sharing here in case it helps someone:

    Would be great if someone here can confirm what fitment factor you are expecting — 2.5x or higher?

    • You can calculate it manually, but it takes time because you have to consider fitment factor, DA, and pay level.

      I usually use an online 8th CPC calculator to get a quick estimate. It’s much easier to compare different scenarios.

      This one is simple and doesn’t require signup:

      Just enter your current basic pay and it gives you an approximate revised salary.

      It’s not official, but helpful for rough planning.
