How to Use the VA Disability Calculator

The VA Disability Calculator is designed to help you estimate your combined disability rating and compensation. Follow the guide below to use the calculator effectively.

Step 1: Input Primary VA Disability Rating

  • Locate the Primary VA Disability Rating (%) field on the calculator.
  • Enter your Primary VA Disability Rating as a percentage. Ensure the value is between 0 and 100, and it should be a multiple of 10 (e.g., 10, 20, 30).
  • This field is required.

Step 2: Input Secondary VA Disability Rating (Optional)

  • If applicable, enter your Secondary VA Disability Rating (%).
  • The value must also be between 0 and 100 and a multiple of 10.
  • This field is optional, so you may leave it blank if it does not apply to you.

Step 3: Select Dependency Status

  • Choose your Dependency Status from the provided options:
    • Veteran Only
    • Veteran with Spouse
    • Veteran with Spouse and Child
    • Veteran with Child Only
  • This field is required.

Step 4: Enter Number of Dependent Children (Optional)

  • If you have dependent children, input the Number of Dependent Children.
  • The number should range from 0 to 10.
  • This field is optional and should only be filled if it applies to you.

Step 5: Review Combined Disability Rating

  • Once you have entered the necessary information, the calculator will automatically display the Combined Disability Rating.
  • This rating is calculated using the formula: 100 – ((100 – primaryRating) * (100 – (secondaryRating || 0)) / 100).

Step 6: Review Monthly and Annual Compensation

  • The calculator will also display your estimated Monthly Compensation and Annual Compensation.
  • The monthly amount is calculated based on your combined rating and dependency status, using specific multiplier values.
  • The annual compensation is simply the monthly amount multiplied by 12.

By following these steps, you can efficiently use the VA Disability Calculator to estimate your benefits. Remember to verify each entry for accuracy to ensure reliable results.
