How the VA disability pay chart works

Your rounded combined rating maps to a monthly compensation amount. Ratings 10% and 20% are flat (no dependent add-ons). At 30% and above, a spouse, children, and dependent parents can increase pay. Use the combined rating calculator first if you have multiple disabilities.

Pair this chart with the back pay calculator and effective date calculator when modeling increases. SMC and TDIU can change totals beyond the schedular table — see the SMC calculator and TDIU checker.
