How the 7th CPC Salary Calculator works

Under the 7th Central Pay Commission, a central government employee's monthly salary is built up from Basic Pay plus three main allowances — Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA) and Transport Allowance (TA) — minus standard deductions like NPS and professional tax. This calculator combines all of these into a single, quick estimate of your in-hand salary, so you can compare pay levels, plan a move to a new posting city or check the impact of every DA hike announced by the government.

HRA rates by city class

City ClassExamplesHRA (of Basic)
X (Metro)Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad27%
Y (Tier-2)Lucknow, Jaipur, Patna, Bhopal, Nagpur, Kochi18%
Z (Other)Smaller towns and rural postings9%

*HRA percentages revise upward when DA crosses 25% and 50% thresholds. Always confirm current rates from the latest DoPT / Finance Ministry order.
