How much my pay will be after MACP ? – GConnect MACP Calculator to determine Revised Pay and Arrears on MACP
How much my pay will be after MACP ? This is one of the frequently asked questions posted to us by GConnect Readers. As we could not provide solution in each and every case, we thought of providing a generalised tool which can calculate revised pay and arrears, given the present pay, grade pay and period. This idea did get a shape in 2012 itself and MACP tool was launched that time for limited period only.
Now, after major updates we have launched a full fledged MACP Calculator for Revised Pay and Arrears of Pay.
MACP orders are issued twice a year, fixation of pay after MACP would also involve arrears of pay apart from fixation of pay in many cases.
So, we hope this MACP Calculator will be much useful to calculate revised pay as well as arrears of pay after MACP.
Rules for Fixation of Pay on MACP
Before explaining the method adopted in the GConnect MACP Calculator to determine revised pay and arrears, let us have look at the relevant provisions of DOPT OM dated 19.5.2009 that provides for the method to fix pay in pay band and grade pay of an employee on MACP which is given as follows.
DOPT OM No: 35034/3/2008-Estt (D) dated 19.05.2009 with regard to Pay fixation on MACP
“Benefit of pay fixation available at the time of regular promotion shall also be allowed at the time of financial upgradation under the scheme. Therefore, the pay shall be raised by 3% of the total pay in the pay band and the grade pay drawn before such upgradation. There shall, however, be no further fixation of pay at the time of regular promotion if it is in the same grade pay as granted under MACPS. However, at the time of actual promotion if it happens to be in a post carrying higher grade pay than what is available under MACPS, no pay fixation would be available and only difference of grade pay would be made available.”

Unlike pay fixation on promotion, hierarchy of pay bands has no relevance in fixation of pay on MACP. In other words, every MACP involves only 3% incremented pay in pay band and next grade pay in the hierarchy (may be same in certain cases).
If revised pay fixed on promotion by adding 3% promotional increment is less than the pay band applicable to promotion post then revised pay will be enhanced to the amount equivalent to minimum of pay band applicable promotion post.
However, in the case of MACP, employees would be provided only 3% increment (calculated on pre MACP pay band and grade pay) and this increment will be added to pre MACP pay in pay band. This amount is rounded next multiple of 10. The rounded amount is the revised pay in pay band on MACP.
Also, arrears [...]
