Stop struggling with confusing "VA Math." Get an accurate estimate of your combined military disability rating and your monthly compensation instantly.
The Disability Calculator for VA is a professional, privacy-first utility made specifically for US military veterans. Because the Department of Veterans Affairs uses a complex descending-efficiency formula rather than simple addition, calculating your true combined rating can be frustrating. This app does the heavy lifting for you, providing exact ratings based on current 2026 VA compensation tables.
Answers to your VA questions:
• How does a VA disability calculator combine my ratings?
• How does VA math combined rating percentages (38 CFR 4.25)?
• What will my VA rating calculator show after I add a new claim?
• How much back pay am I owed?
• What are the VA disability rates 2026 with dependents?
• Do I qualify for TDIU if I can't work?
• What should I bring to my C&P exam?
Who this app is made for:
• First-time claimants who want a VA disability calculator that explains every step of the VA math combined rating process.
• Rated veterans checking VA disability rates 2026 with dependents to see exactly what they should be paid each month.
• Veterans waiting on a C&P exam who want a DBQ checklist so no symptom gets missed.
• Veterans exploring TDIU, P&T, or secondary claims like sleep apnea rating, PTSD rating increases, or tinnitus rating reviews
Features:
• True VA Math (38 CFR 4.25): Accurately calculates multiple disability percentages using the official VA descending efficiency formula (e.g., 50% and 30% combines to 65%, rounding to 70%).
• 2026 Monthly Payout Estimates: Instantly view your estimated monthly compensation based on the latest published 2026 VA pay rates, including recent COLA increases.
• Bilateral Factor & Static Tracking: Add unlimited individual conditions. Automatically apply the 10% bilateral factor for paired extremities, and tag your permanent conditions to protect your income.
• Spouse & Dependent Adjustments: Instantly adjust your pay estimates based on your family status, including spouses, children under 18, children in school, and dependent parents.
• Instant Rounding & What-If Simulations: See both your exact raw percentage and your final rounded payable percentage. Use the What-If tool to simulate exactly how a new claim will impact your overall score.
100% Private, Secure & Offline:
