This is an estimate. VA determines final eligibility and payment.
Official 2026 VA rates. Dependents add pay at 30% and above.
A secondary condition is caused or made worse by one you already have. The VA rates it separately.
Rough estimate only. An effective date is decided by VA based on the claim; compensation generally begins the following month. Past rates, dependents, and exceptions can change actual back pay.
This simple estimate applies 2026 monthly rates across the period and is not a VA award or a historical payment audit.
Veterans with severe disabilities may qualify for SMC. SMC-K is added on top of your regular pay; most other levels replace the standard 100% rate.
Your VA math and estimates are free to view above. Enter your email only if you want a PDF report to keep.
The VA doesn't simply add your ratings together. They use the "whole person theory" — each subsequent rating is applied to your remaining non-disabled percentage, not added on top.
This means two 50% ratings don't equal 100%. Understanding this is critical to knowing your true combined rating.
Why does this matter? A jump from 70% to 80% means an extra $293.70/month ($3,524.40/year). That's why identifying every condition — even "minor" ones — can dramatically increase your compensation.
What your combined rating means in monthly tax-free compensation (veteran alone).

2. No Guarantee of Specific Outcomes. We cannot guarantee any specific rating or compensation amount. Backed by my refund commitment: the VA decides every claim, so I never promise a result, but if your claim doesn't end in at least a 10% increase in your overall VA rating or an increase in your monthly compensation, you get a full refund. Terms are in the agreement.
