Calculate monthly gross salary, 10% NPS deduction, HRA (30%/20%/10%), DA, and net in-hand take-home pay under the 7th Central Pay Commission.
Statutory Principles & Calculation Rules
The 7th Central Pay Commission (7th CPC) governs remuneration, allowances, and statutory deductions for all central civil servants, defense civilian employees, and central police personnel. This calculator accurately computes monthly gross pay, statutory National Pension System (NPS) deductions, and net in-hand take-home pay across Pay Level 1 (Grade Pay ₹1800) through Pay Level 18 (Cabinet Secretary level).
Under Department of Expenditure rules, Dearness Allowance (DA) is calculated as a percentage of Basic Pay and is revised semi-annually in January and July. House Rent Allowance (HRA) is structured into three tiers based on city population classification: Class X cities (50 lakh+ population) receive 30% HRA, Class Y cities (5 to 50 lakh population) receive 20% HRA, and Class Z cities (below 5 lakh population) receive 10% HRA. Under the National Pension System Tier-I framework, exactly 10% of (Basic Pay + DA) is deducted every month toward the employee's retirement corpus, while the Central Government contributes a matching 14%.
Use this tool to compare pay across different central services including SSC CGL Assistants (Level 7, ₹44,900 Basic), RRB NTPC Station Masters (Level 6, ₹35,400 Basic), and Central Secretariat Stenographers (Level 4, ₹25,500 Basic). Always refer to the official appointment order and establishment rules for specific special allowances such as Transport Allowance, Special Duty Allowance, or Risk and Hardship allowances applicable to uniform personnel.
