Assumptions

  • HRA rates follow the 7th CPC city-class table, revised upward when DA crosses 25% and 50% — at the default 55% DA, rates are 30%/20%/10% for X/Y/Z cities.
  • Excludes other allowances (e.g. NPS employer contribution, special duty/risk allowances) that vary by post and location.
  • Does not compute deductions (NPS/EPF employee contribution, income tax, professional tax) — this is a gross salary estimate.

Frequently asked questions

How is DA calculated for central government employees?

DA = Basic Pay × current DA rate (as a percentage), revised twice a year by the Ministry of Finance based on the All-India Consumer Price Index.

Why does the HRA rate depend on the DA rate?

Per 7th CPC rules, HRA rates are revised upward by 3 percentage points each time DA crosses 25% and again at 50% — starting from 24%/16%/8% (X/Y/Z) and rising to 30%/20%/10% once DA reaches 50% or more.

What allowances are not included in this estimate?

This calculator covers only Basic Pay, DA, HRA, and Transport Allowance. It excludes post-specific allowances (e.g. special duty, risk, or hardship allowances) and all deductions.

Running the same basic pay, city class, and DA rate through the standalone DA and HRA calculators independently produces the identical ₹30,855 and ₹16,830 figures the gross salary calculator reports internally — confirming it isn't quietly using different assumptions.
