1. What is 7th Pay Matrix Salary?

The 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) introduced a new pay matrix system for government employees in India. It replaced the traditional pay band and grade pay system with a simplified matrix that determines basic pay based on pay level and cell.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{In-Hand Salary} = \text{Basic Pay} + \text{DA} + \text{HRA} + \text{Other Allowances} - \text{Income Tax} - \text{PF} - \text{NPS} \]

Where:

Basic Pay — As per 7th CPC pay matrix level and cell
DA — Dearness Allowance (percentage of basic pay)
HRA — House Rent Allowance (city-based percentage)
Other Allowances — Any additional allowances
Income Tax — As per applicable tax slabs
PF — Provident Fund contribution
NPS — National Pension System contribution
