What is a 7th Pay Commission Salary Calculator?
The 7th Central Pay Commission (7th CPC) sets the pay structure for central government employees in India. Your gross salary is made up of basic pay from the pay matrix plus allowances, mainly dearness allowance (DA), house rent allowance (HRA) and transport allowance (TA).
Formula: Gross = Basic + DA + HRA + Transport Allowance (with DA). DA = Basic x DA%. HRA = Basic x HRA% (30/20/10% for X/Y/Z cities after DA crossed 50%). TA is paid at the fixed level rate plus DA on it. NPS and tax deductions are separate – this is gross salary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the current DA rate under 7th CPC?
DA is revised twice a year based on inflation data. The default 55% here is editable – enter the rate from the latest government order for an exact figure.
Why did HRA become 30/20/10%?
The 7th CPC recommended that HRA rates revise upward when DA crosses 50%. Cities are classed X (30%), Y (20%) and Z (10%) by population.
Is this my in-hand salary?
No – this is gross of the core components. In-hand salary is lower after NPS (10%), income tax and other deductions, and higher if you get extra allowances.
How do I find my basic pay?
Your basic is fixed by your pay level and increment stage in the 7th CPC pay matrix printed on your salary slip.
