Example Of 7th Pay Salary Calculator

Let us understand the calculation of the 7th pay salary hike with an example. Colonel Singh is getting promoted to level 8 of the 7th CPC. Below is a detailed description of the increase in his salary. 

7th CPC Level = 8 

Fitment Factor = 2.62

Grade Pay = 4800

Old Basic Salary = 18150

HRA = X class 

Step 1: Calculate the new basic salary 

New Basic Salary = Old Basic Salary x Fitment Factor 

New Basic Salary = 18150 x 2.62

Therefore, the new basic salary will be Rs 47,553

Step 2: Calculating net salary

Adding values to the final formula, 

Net Salary = 47553 + (47553 x 24%) + (47553 x 55%) = 85121

Therefore, net salary of Colonel Singh will amount to Rs 85,121.
