Calculate Your New Basic Pay

Your basic pay excluding Grade Pay.

How It Works

Pay fixation involves two main steps. First, we find your 'notional pay'—the equivalent of your old basic pay in the new 7th CPC matrix. Second, as per fixation rules, we add one increment to place you in the next cell of that level, which becomes your new fixed basic pay.

Inputs Explained

  • Pay Band & Grade Pay: These are from the 6th CPC structure and help determine your total pre-revision salary.
  • Basic Pay: Your basic salary (excluding grade pay) in the old scale.
  • New Pay Matrix Level: The level you are being promoted to or upgraded to in the 7th CPC structure.

Example

An employee with a Grade Pay of ₹2400 and a Basic Pay of ₹15,000 has a total old pay of ₹17,400. On promotion to Level 4, their notional pay in the 7th CPC matrix is ₹24,900. After adding one increment of ₹600, their new fixed basic pay becomes ₹25,500.

Tips & Notes

  • Always refer to the specific government notification regarding your promotion or MACP for the most accurate fixation.
  • This calculator provides the basic pay. Your total salary will include various allowances like HRA, TA, and DA.
  • The pay matrix is fixed, but the Dearness Allowance (DA) is revised periodically.

FAQs

Pay fixation is the process of determining an employee's new basic pay in the revised pay structure (like 7th CPC) after events like promotion, MACP, or pay commission implementation.

The 7th CPC Pay Matrix is a simple table that replaces the Grade Pay system. It has vertical Levels (1 to 18) corresponding to Grade Pays, and horizontal cells showing pay progression with increments.

A regular increment is a 3% annual hike within the same level. Pay fixation happens when you move to a higher Level (promotion/MACP), where your pay is fixed at a cell higher than your current pay plus one increment.

MACP is a scheme ensuring financial upgradation for employees who haven't received a promotion in 10, 20, or 30 years of service. It grants the next higher Pay Level without a change in designation.

You can find official notifications on the website of the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, Government of India (doe.gov.in).
