How to calculate your revised pay with 7th CPC Pay Calculator?
“Our 7th CPC Pay and Allowances Calculator is a simple tool for finding new basic pay and allowances of Central Government employees as per the recommendations 7th CPC as on 1.1.2016.”
Three months have passed since the 7th Pay Commission submitted its recommendations to the government, but still little bit confusion persists in using of our calculator. So, we have to explain how the calculator is working and how to calculate with this tool.
First option is the calculator needs your current basic pay as on 1.1.2016. Basic pay means Pay in the pay band + Grade pay. Suppose your Grade pay is 4200 and your pay in the pay band is 10500 means, you have to enter 14700 as basic pay in the first option.
This figure helps you to find out your new and revised basic pay as per the recommendations of 7th CPC.
2nd option is the tool is asking your Grade Pay. To find out your level of the 7th CPC. See the table given below…
| Pay Band | Grade Pay | Level |
| 5200 – 20200 | 1800 | 1 |
| 1900 | 2 | |
| 2000 | 3 | |
| 2400 | 4 | |
| 2800 | 5 | |
| 9300 – 34800 | 4200 | 6 |
| 4600 | 7 | |
| 4800 | 8 | |
| 5400 | 9 | |
| 15600 – 39100 | 5400 | 10 |
| 6600 | 11 | |
| 7600 | 12 | |
| 37400 – 67000 | 8700 | 13 |
| 8900 | 13A | |
| 10000 | 14 |
Third one is House Rent Allowance, select in the dropdown menu which is your current percentage of HRA. To find out new rate of HRA as given in the table
| Class of Cities | Rates of HRA (% of Basic Pay) |
Revised Rate of HRA (% of Basic Pay) |
| X | 30% | 24% |
| Y | 20% | 16% |
| Z | 10% | 8% |
Last one is Transport Allowance. The calculator is now modified so as not to ask your current rate of TA. Since the entitlement for particular rate of TA in sixth CPC is not correlated to 7th CPC entitlement for TPTA.
So there is no need for taking sixth CPC Transport Allowance rates for calculating TPTA as per 7th CPC recommendations. Select your city whether it is TPTA or Other places.
TPTA Cities are given below the calculator table. Because, eligibility of TA in 7th CPC is as per Level only. The table given below will help you understand this better.
| Grade Pay | Pay Level | Higher TPTA Cities | Other Places |
| 5400 above | 9 & above | 7200 + DA | 3600 + DA |
| 2000 to 4800 | 3 to 8 | 3600 + DA | 1800 + DA |
| 1800 & 1900 | 1 and 2 | 1350 + DA | 900 + DA |
The commission has recommended to remove the ambiguous clause of sixth CPC in respect of eligibility criteria for TA rates that “Grade pay below Rs.4200 but pay in the pay band equivalent or above Rs.7440 ”, and has recommended a hike in travel allowance for all cg employees those who are within the Pay Scale of GP 2000 to 2800 category.
So, this is the correct way of calculating your revised pay as per the recommendations of 7th CPC.
