Step 1

Find every condition in the VA schedule

Search all 748 active diagnostic codes in the current 38 C.F.R. Part 4 index. Select a condition, review its official percentage levels, and add the evaluation shown in your VA decision—or the level you are carefully estimating from the criteria.

Already know your individual VA percentages?

Add a rating directly. You can name it, choose the percentage, and add the left or right arm/leg only when the bilateral factor applies.

Can't find the diagnosis?

VA may rate an unlisted condition under a closely related disease or injury using an analogous, built-up diagnostic code.

Step 2

Enter each individual evaluation

0/40 added

The percentage guide shows the levels found in the selected diagnostic code. Medical evidence, service connection, effective dates, overlapping symptoms, staged ratings, and VA adjudication can change the actual outcome.

No conditions added yet

Use the schedule search above, then choose “Add condition.”

Mark the exact left or right arm/leg only when a compensable condition affects that extremity. The calculator applies 38 C.F.R. § 4.26 and checks whether excluding a disability from the bilateral calculation produces a more favorable combined evaluation.

Step 3

Estimate 2026 monthly compensation

Uses official VA rates effective December 1, 2025. Add dependents and an SMC-K award only when they are recognized by VA.

Estimated monthly payment$0.00
Estimated annual amount$0.00
Schedular TDIU screenBasic percentage threshold not yet met

This checks the basic “one at 60%” or “combined 70% with one at 40%” paths. VA can treat certain related disabilities as one, and extraschedular TDIU may still apply. Unemployability must be established separately.

Review 38 C.F.R. § 4.16
Special Monthly CompensationCheck benefits beyond the combined percentage

Loss or loss of use, aid and attendance, housebound status, and certain combinations can qualify for SMC even when ordinary VA math does not show the full payment.

Your information stays private

The calculator runs in your browser. Selected diagnoses, evaluations, paired-extremity details, and dependent information are not submitted to Veteran Career Kit, saved to an account, or placed in browser storage.

Estimate—not a VA decision

Only VA can establish service connection and assign the legally controlling evaluation. This estimate cannot fully resolve pyramiding, staged ratings, aggravation deductions, amputation limits, protected ratings, convalescence, TDIU, every SMC level, recoupment, incarceration, or retirement-pay offsets.
