Understanding your result
Your combined rating comes first
VA combines ratings with its own table. They are not added together.
Dependents count from 30%
A spouse, children, and dependent parents raise the rate at 30% and above.
Rates change each December
VA matches the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment.

VA decides your rating and your dependents' eligibility. Added amounts only apply once VA has added a dependent to your award.
What is VA disability compensation?
It is a tax-free monthly payment for veterans with a disability connected to their military service. The amount depends on your combined disability rating and, from 30%, on your dependents.
This calculator uses VA's rate tables effective December 1, 2025. Payments can also include other benefits, such as special monthly compensation, that this tool does not cover.
How the calculation works
Basic rate + added amounts
- 1
Find your basic rate
Match your rating with your spouse, one child, and parents.
- 2
Add any extra children
Each additional child under 18 or 18 to 23 in school adds a set amount.
- 3
Add Aid and Attendance
If your spouse receives it, add the amount for your rating.
VA's example: 70% with a spouse and 3 children under 18, spouse on Aid and Attendance, is $2,367.45 a month.
Put your result in context
Other programs veterans often look into.
Healthcare
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
Monthly cash payments for workers who paid Social Security taxes and can no longer work due to a long-term medical disability, funded by FICA payroll taxes, not general revenue.

No. It is an estimate from VA's published rate tables. Your award letter from VA shows your actual monthly amount.
VA pays one flat rate at 10% and 20%. Added amounts for a spouse, children, or dependent parents start at a 30% combined rating.
The basic rate for a veteran with a child already pays for one child. Each additional child under 18, and each child 18 to 23 in a qualifying school program, adds a set amount.
VA is required by law to match the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment. The current rates took effect December 1, 2025.
