Whole-person mathBilateral factorDependent estimateNo data saved

Step 1

Enter each VA disability rating

Use the individual percentages shown in your VA decision. Do not add them together—the calculator applies VA's whole-person method.

Condition 1Condition name (optional)Individual ratingPaired arm or leg

Condition 2Condition name (optional)Individual ratingPaired arm or leg

Select a left or right arm/leg only when the condition affects that extremity. When qualifying disabilities affect both sides, the calculator automatically tests the bilateral factor and uses the result most favorable to the Veteran under 38 C.F.R. § 4.26.

Step 2

Estimate standard monthly compensation

Uses the official 2026 VA disability compensation rates effective December 1, 2025.

Your information stays private

This calculator runs in your browser. Condition names, ratings, and dependent details are not submitted to Veteran Career Kit, saved to an account, or placed in browser storage.

Estimate—not a VA decision

This tool cannot determine service connection, assign individual condition percentages, or account for every exception, including SMC, TDIU, aggravation, pyramiding, severance recoupment, incarceration, or retirement-pay offsets. Your VA decision letter controls.
