New “Authority Calculator” Launched for Central Employees
New Delhi: To combat misinformation regarding salary hikes, we have released India’s first “Net Salary Calculator” that accounts for NPS, CGEGIS, and the Jan 2026 DA Merger.
With the 8th Pay Commission implementation expected in January 2026, confusion regarding the Fitment Factor (2.57 vs 3.68) and the Base Pay Revision is at an all-time high. Most online calculators only show “Gross Salary,” giving employees a false picture of their actual bank credit.
Today, Central 8th Pay Commission is proud to launch two verified tools that calculate your In-Hand (Net) Salary by first verifying your current 7th CPC payslip.

Why This Calculator is Different?
Unlike generic tools that simply multiply your Basic Pay by 2.57, our Authority Calculator uses a “Payslip Forensics” method. It accounts for real-world variables that affect your take-home pay:
- ✅ Dynamic DA Input: You can adjust the Dearness Allowance (currently set to 58% official) to see how future DA hikes impact your base.
- ✅ True HRA Logic: It automatically switches between X (30%), Y (20%), and Z (10%) class cities based on the 8th CPC revision rules.
- ✅ Mandatory Deductions: We are the only portal to calculate NPS (10%), CGEGIS, and Professional Tax to show you the exact “Cut-Home” pay.
How the 8th CPC Logic Works (2026 Projection)
The calculator follows the projected Pay Matrix Revision formula expected to be tabled by the Commission:
| Component | 7th CPC (Current) | 8th CPC (Projected) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Pay | Existing Level | Basic x Fitment Factor |
| Dearness Allowance | 58% – 64% | Resets to 0% |
| Fitment Factor | 2.57 (Common) | 1.92 to 3.68 (Variable) |
Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Tool
- Select Your Department: Whether you are Railways, Defense, or State Govt, the logic adjusts TA (Transport Allowance) accordingly.
- Enter 7th CPC Basic: Put your current basic pay (e.g., ₹29,600).
- Verify Current Salary: The tool will first calculate your current gross. If this matches your payslip, the projection is accurate.
- Adjust Fitment: Use the buttons to toggle between 1.92 (Minimum), 2.57 (Standard), or 3.68 (Union Demand).
Pro Tip: Use the “Arrears Slider” to see how much lump-sum cash you might receive if the government delays the notification by 6 to 18 months.
