Note on this quick tool: it applies DA at 60% and the current 30%/20%/10% HRA slabs, but its Transport Allowance excludes DA on TA. Under the 7th CPC rules TA is paid with DA on it, so your actual gross pay will be a little higher than shown here.

Updated 19 October 2026 · DA 60% from 1 January 2026 (PIB). July 2026 DA not announced yet. Confirmed July DA pending

7th CPC salary calculator formula

Gross salary = Basic pay + DA (60%) + HRA (30% / 20% / 10%) + Transport Allowance + DA on TA.

DA and HRA are worked out on basic pay. TA is a fixed amount by pay level, and DA is added on top of it.

7th CPC Transport Allowance rates

Pay level	Higher TA cities	Other places	With DA 60% (higher / other)
9 and above	₹7,200 + DA	₹3,600 + DA	₹11,520 / ₹5,760
3 to 8	₹3,600 + DA	₹1,800 + DA	₹5,760 / ₹2,880
1 and 2 (pay ₹24,200 and above)	₹3,600 + DA	₹1,800 + DA	₹5,760 / ₹2,880
1 and 2 (pay below ₹24,200)	₹1,350 + DA	₹900 + DA	₹2,160 / ₹1,440

Worked example: Level 4 employee in Delhi

Basic pay ₹25,500. Delhi is an X city for HRA and a higher TA city.

• DA: ₹25,500 × 60% = ₹15,300
• HRA: ₹25,500 × 30% = ₹7,650
• TA: ₹3,600 + 60% DA (₹2,160) = ₹5,760
• Gross salary: ₹25,500 + ₹15,300 + ₹7,650 + ₹5,760 = ₹54,210 a month Estimate

This is gross pay. NPS or UPS contribution, CGHS, CGEGIS and income tax come off it.

🔗 What About the Upcoming 8th CPC?

The 8th Central Pay Commission has been constituted and is collecting data and meeting stakeholders; its report is not yet out. No fitment factor or implementation date has been announced, so any 8th CPC salary figure today is a projection. Until it is implemented, your pay continues under the 7th CPC pay matrix with DA at 60%. Pending

• 8th CPC timeline and latest updates
• 8th CPC Members
• 8th CPC Salary Calculator (projection with an assumed factor)

💡 Fitment Factor for 7th CPC

Under 7th CPC, the fitment factor is 2.57x, applied on Basic + Grade Pay.

The 7th CPC factor of 2.57 was used once, to move pay from the 6th CPC pay bands into the 7th CPC pay matrix on 1 January 2016; today your basic pay is simply your cell in the pay matrix. Factors such as 2.86 or 3.0 that you may see for the 8th CPC are assumptions, not announcements.
