Salary Calculator
Work out your in-hand salary for a private job or a government job, compare the old and new tax regimes, test a salary hike, and see what a Pay Commission fitment factor does to your pay
- Normal salary: for private jobs. Enter your yearly CTC and see Basic, HRA, PF, tax and the monthly in-hand amount
- Government: for central government pay. Enter your basic pay and DA to get HRA, transport allowance, NPS or UPS, CGHS, tax and take-home
- Hike: see your new in-hand salary after a hike, or enter the in-hand amount you want and get the CTC you should ask for. Tax uses the better regime and a standard professional tax
- Fitment factor: shows how your pay could change after a Pay Commission. Basic pay is multiplied by the fitment factor and DA starts again from zero
- The 7th Pay Commission used a fitment factor of 2.57
- The 8th Pay Commission has been set up, but no fitment factor has been announced yet. The values in this tool are scenarios for planning, not forecasts
- Actual new pay will be a cell in the new pay matrix, so your final figure can differ slightly from this estimate
- Income tax FY 2026-27, new regime: nil up to 4 lakh, then 5% to 8 lakh, 10% to 12 lakh, 15% to 16 lakh, 20% to 20 lakh, 25% to 24 lakh and 30% above. Standard deduction 75,000. No tax up to 12 lakh of taxable income, with marginal relief just above it
- Old regime: nil up to 2.5 lakh, 5% to 5 lakh, 20% to 10 lakh and 30% above. Standard deduction 50,000. No tax up to 5 lakh. Cess of 4% is added in both regimes
- Central government DA: 60% from 1 January 2026 by default. You can change it when the next revision is announced
- HRA: 30%, 20% and 10% of basic for X, Y and Z cities when DA is 50% or more. It is 27, 18, 9 when DA is between 25% and 50%, and 24, 16, 8 below 25%
- Pension: NPS is 10% from you and 14% from the government. UPS is 10% from you and 18.5% from the government. Both are on basic plus DA
- This is an estimate for planning. Your payslip and employer rules decide the final numbers
- Surcharge on income above 50 lakh is not included. State government pay scales and allowances differ, so use the custom options
- Tax section names such as 80C follow the older numbering that most people still use
