How it works

38 CFR 4.25 combines each rating against your remaining efficiency. For 60% and 40%, 60 + 40 × 40/100 = 76, rounded finally to 80%. Adding 20% gives 81, which also rounds to 80%.

38 CFR 4.26 combines qualifying paired extremities first and adds a 10% bilateral factor. Its paragraph (d) requires the most favorable result when removing conditions from that group improves the award.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add the percentages together?
No. VA combines ratings against remaining efficiency, then rounds the final value to the nearest 10.
When is the bilateral factor used?
For eligible compensable conditions affecting both arms, both legs, or paired skeletal muscles. The calculator supports explicitly identified arm and leg pairs.
Are dependents included at 10% or 20%?
No. Those compensation levels have the same payment regardless of dependent status.
