Entering ratings

Injuries to the arms and legs are entered separately from other ratings to account for the VA's bilateral factor. Here is an example of how our calculator works for a veteran with a 20% rating for a left hand injury and a 40% PTSD rating:

Screenshot of two ratings entered in the calculator. The first is Left arm at 20%. The second is a general VA disability at 40%.

Your result will appear below your selections. It includes the VA-calculated final rating as well as the rating before rounding, and your expected monthly payments.

Screenshot of the results from the two entered ratings. The results show the combined rating of 50%, the actual rating of 52%, and a monthly payment of $1132.90.
