Understanding Salary Components
Before using the calculator, it helps to know what makes up your monthly pay:
- Basic Pay
- The fixed component determined by your pay level in the matrix.
- Example: A Level-10 officer may have a basic pay of ₹56,100 under the 8th Pay Commission.
2. Dearness Allowance (DA)
- A percentage of basic pay to offset inflation.
- Revised twice a year based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
3. House Rent Allowance (HRA)
- Determined by the city class you live in—X, Y, or Z cities.
- X cities (like Delhi, Mumbai) often have higher HRA percentages (27–30%), while Z cities have lower (8–10%).
4. Travel Allowance (TA)
- Fixed or variable based on your grade and whether you use public or private transport.
- Can include mileage, fuel costs, or fixed travel stipend.
5. Other Allowances
- Medical Allowance, Children’s Education Allowance, Special Pay for certain posts, etc.
- Varying by department and posting location.
6. Deductions
- Provident Fund (PF): A fixed percentage of basic pay (currently 12%).
- Professional Tax: Applicable in certain states.
- Income Tax (TDS): Based on your annual income slab.
- Any other statutory deductions according to department rules.
By breaking down these components, you can see exactly where each rupee goes. Our calculator automatically applies current DA percentages and HRA rates, but you can override them if your department announces last-minute changes.
