🧮 VA Rating Calculator

Add your conditions and see how the VA combines them — no math knowledge needed.

💡

Did you know? The VA doesn't just add your ratings together. A 50% rating + 30% rating = 65% combined (rounded to 70%), not 80%. Each condition takes a percentage of your remaining health — add your conditions below to see how it works.

How your conditions combine

➕

Why doesn't it just add up?

The VA uses a "whole person" method. Once a condition claims 50%, only 50% remains. Your next condition takes a % of that 50% — not of 100%.

⬅️➡️

What does "both sides" do?

If a condition affects paired body parts (both knees, both wrists), the VA adds a small bonus to that combined rating before mixing it with your other conditions.

🎯

Can I reach 100%?

Yes — but the math makes it very hard. Even with many ratings you may stay in the 90s. TDIU is a separate benefit that pays at the 100% rate if you can't work.
