Government Pay Calculator

Central Government salary follows the 7th Pay Commission structure: Basic Pay (from your Pay Level in the Pay Matrix) plus Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA) and Transport Allowance (TA), minus deductions like NPS/PF and income tax. DA and HRA rates change periodically — enter your current rates from your payslip or the latest official DA/HRA notification rather than relying on a fixed figure here.

Where do I find my Pay Level and Basic Pay? The official notification or advertisement for a recruitment usually states the applicable Pay Level (e.g. Level 6, Level 7) under the 7th Pay Commission Pay Matrix. The Basic Pay for that level at the entry stage is fixed by the matrix — check the recruiting organization's official notification for the exact figure for your post.

DA and HRA rates change periodically (DA is revised twice a year; HRA depends on your city classification — X, Y or Z). Use the rate shown on your own payslip, or the latest official Department of Expenditure notification, for an accurate estimate.
