VA Disability Benefits Calculator
Estimate your combined disability rating and monthly compensation using VA’s official “whole person” calculation method.
Disability Ratings
Enter each of your service-connected disability ratings below. The calculator applies VA’s “whole person theory” to combine them — the same method VA uses to calculate your official combined rating.
If your disability affects an arm or leg, select the appropriate body part button and your assigned rating percentage. If your condition is not an extremity disability, simply select your rating percentage without choosing a body part.
Important: For this calculator, “arm” includes all joints connected to the arm — shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. “Leg” includes all joints connected to the leg — hip, knee, ankle, and foot.
Dependents
Additional compensation for dependents applies at 30% disability rating and above.
Special Monthly Compensation (SMC)
For veterans with specific severe conditions or care needs. SMC is paid in addition to your regular disability compensation.
