28 Sept 2026Frequently asked questions
What is the 8th Pay Commission?
It is the Central Pay Commission that reviews the pay, allowances and pensions of central government employees and pensioners. It was notified on 3 November 2025 and has 18 months to give its recommendations, which means about May 2027.
What is the fitment factor?
The fitment factor is the number by which your present Basic Pay is multiplied to get your new Basic Pay. In the 7th Pay Commission it was 2.57. The 8th Pay Commission has not announced its figure.
How can I estimate my salary under the 8th Pay Commission?
Use the 8th Pay Commission Salary Calculator on this site. Enter your Basic Pay, Pay Level and city, choose a fitment factor, and see your estimated new pay and arrears. It is an estimate only.
What happens to DA when a new Pay Commission starts?
With the 7th Pay Commission, DA started again from zero because the earlier DA was absorbed into the new basic pay. Our 8th Pay Commission calculator makes the same assumption. The government will decide the actual treatment.
