How Fitment Factors Affect Salary and Allowances
The fitment factors 2.08 and 2.57 play a very important role in deciding how much your basic pay and allowances go up in the 8th Pay Commission revised pay scale. The 2.08 factor is more moderate, leading to smaller increases, while 2.57 results in comparatively higher pay raises. These factors multiply your current basic salary to find the revised pay, followed by adding allowances like HRA and TA. A higher fitment factor means a better salary and more take-home pay after deductions.
How Your Take-Home Salary Changes with the Revised Pay
Your net salary, or take-home pay, depends on your gross salary minus deductions such as contributions to the National Pension System (NPS) and CGHS fees. The revised salaries shown above give a realistic estimate of what you’ll get monthly after deductions. For example, if you’re under Grade Pay 2800 with a basic of ₹46,800 and a fitment factor of 2.57, your net salary is about ₹1,40,465 after deducting NPS and CGHS charges from the gross pay.
This detailed breakdown should help you understand changes in your salary, so you can plan your budget and savings better under the new 8th Pay Commission pay structure.
