Calculating Your VA Disability Rating
Your basic benefit amount hinges on your assessed level of disability. The VA uses the evidence from your claim submission and any relevant military records to establish how significantly your ability to work is impaired. Disability ratings are assigned in increments of 10% (such as 10%, 20%, 30%, and so forth), reflecting the degree of disability.
Additional Compensation Considerations You may be eligible for additional benefits if you:
- Suffer from a severe disability or have lost a limb.
- Have dependents, such as a spouse, children, or dependent parents.
- Are caring for a severely disabled spouse.

Understanding Combined VA Disability Ratings
When dealing with multiple disabilities, the VA calculates a combined disability rating. This method considers that disabilities compound rather than simply add together. For instance, if one disability is rated at 60% and another at 20%, the combined rating will not be 80%. Instead, the 20% is applied to the remaining non-disabled portion of your health, resulting in a lower overall percentage. This combined rating process uses a specific VA table to accurately reflect the compounded effect of multiple disabilities. The VA combined disability calculator helps to merge these percentages using a detailed method to ensure accuracy.
The Calculation Process for Multiple Disabilities
Here’s a breakdown of how the VA combines multiple disability ratings:
- Disabilities are ranked from most severe to least severe.
- Ratings are then combined using the VA’s Combined Ratings Table, where the first disability’s rating is located on the left column and the second on the top row.
- The intersection of these ratings indicates the combined percentage, which is then rounded to the nearest 10%.
- This process is repeated for each additional disability, accumulating to a final rounded percentage.
