Sri Lanka Government Salary Calculator 2025, 2026 and 2027
Use this government salary calculator to look up monthly basic pay for selected Sri Lankan public service salary codes under Public Administration Circular 10/2025. Choose a salary code such as PL, MN, MT, SL, GE, MP, RS, AS or GN and select a salary step to view the full revised basic salary and next increment. Teachers, nurses, development officers and other public officers should use the code assigned to their specific post and service.
How does the 2025 public service salary revision work?
The official 2025 salary structure introduced new full scales and phased payments over 2025–2027. The circular includes previous Rs. 2,500 and Rs. 5,000 allowances in the revised structure. For eligible phased-payment cases, it calculates the net increase against the actual December 2024 basic salary and then releases portions of that increase across the three periods. The calculator does not infer your old salary from your job title or current step.
Why does a 2026 estimate require my 2024 basic salary?
The revised scale amount and the amount actually paid are different during the transition. The salary conversion depends on your previous payroll position. To avoid misleading answers, the calculator requests that value instead of inventing a conversion or displaying the full 2027 basic as your 2026 paid salary.
Are salary scale and grade the same thing?
No. Grade and service category affect which salary code and step apply to you. The calculator displays the official arithmetic progression for the chosen salary code; it cannot independently establish your correct grade, placement, promotion, or conversion.
Does the result include cost of living and other allowances?
No automatic allowance or tax assumptions are made. You may enter the allowance and deduction amounts applicable to your own payslip. The 8% W&OP estimation option should only be selected when it applies to your employment status.
Which employees may need separate rules?
Special services, some statutory institutions, corporations, armed forces, universities, and other categories can be governed by separate instructions. This tool covers selected Schedule II public-service salary codes and is not a replacement for official payroll instructions.
