What is a 8th Pay Commission Fitment Factor Calculator?
A fitment factor calculator multiplies your current basic pay by one uniform factor to estimate the new basic pay after a pay commission revision. The 7th CPC used 2.57 as its fitment factor.
Formula: Revised basic = current basic x fitment factor (one uniform multiplier; 7th CPC used 2.57). DA then resets and is recalculated on the new basic.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What fitment factor is expected in the 8th CPC?
Employee bodies have demanded figures around 2.86 and above, while news estimates often use 2.57 as a placeholder. Nothing is final until the government accepts and notifies the commission’s report.
Will my total salary rise by the same factor?
No. Only basic pay is multiplied. DA resets and HRA/other allowances are recalculated at new rates on the new basic.
How was 2.57 arrived at in the 7th CPC?
It combined the old basic plus DA (125% at the time) and an additional real increase of about 14.29%, rounded into one uniform factor.
When will the 8th CPC apply?
Pay commissions are usually effective from 1 January of the cycle year (2026 for the 8th), with arrears – but implementation timing follows the official notification.
