VA Combined
Rating Calculator
Add your conditions and ratings. See your combined rating with every VA math step, then reach VA-accredited representatives.
No conditions match your search. Try another word, for example knee or hearing.
Turn this on if the condition is in an arm or a leg and the other arm or leg has a rating too. VA then applies the bilateral factor.
Dependents change the monthly estimate only at a combined rating of 30 percent or higher.
Independent service, not affiliated with the VA. Your data stays yours.

From a list of percentages to a rating you understand
Most veterans start with a list of conditions and percentages. The calculator turns that list into the number VA uses and shows every step along the way.
Calculate my rating
Your list
- PTSD, 50 percent
- Lumbosacral strain, 20 percent
- Left knee, 10 percent
- Right knee, 10 percent
- Tinnitus, 10 percent
Your result
- Combined rating with each VA math step shown
- Bilateral factor applied to both knees
- Monthly estimate with the date of the official rate table
- What the rating schedule looks for at the next level of each condition
Every number follows a public VA rule
Here is the method behind your result, step by step, with the rule each step comes from.
| Step | What we do | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Sort | We put your ratings in order from highest to lowest. | 38 CFR 4.25 |
| 2. Whole person method | Each rating applies only to the part of you that is still unrated, called remaining efficiency. | 38 CFR 4.25 |
| 3. Bilateral factor | Ratings on paired limbs are combined first, then 10 percent of that value is added. | 38 CFR 4.26 |
| 4. Rounding | The final combined value is rounded to the nearest 10. Values ending in 5 round up. | 38 CFR 4.25 |
| 5. Monthly estimate | We read the amount from the official VA compensation rate table and show its effective date. | VA rate table, effective December 1, 2025 |

An independent service you can check
MilitaryMedicine is not the VA and not a law firm. We build tools and guides and connect veterans with VA-accredited representatives.
Independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or part of the VA or the Department of Defense.
Accredited only. Every representative is checked against public VA accreditation records before the profile goes live.
Free help is real. Accredited Veterans Service Organizations help with claims at no cost, and we tell you how to find them.
Your data stays yours. Nothing leaves until you send a request, and then only the conditions, ratings, claim stage and state you chose. We never sell your data.
Fair fee rules. Accredited representatives generally may not charge you before VA decides your initial claim (38 CFR 14.636).

What managing partners and marketing leads ask first
- Cost per qualified request. Divide your plan price by the requests you accept, then compare it with what one retained case is worth to your firm. You fill in your own numbers.
- What each request contains. Condition list, current ratings, combined rating, claim stage and state, from a veteran who confirmed their email.
- Compliance built in. A flat subscription for advertising, no share of fees, no per-case payment, and only accredited representatives on the directory.
Is this the VA?
No. MilitaryMedicine is an independent service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or part of the VA or the Department of Defense. Official decisions come only from VA.
Is it free for veterans?
Yes. The calculator, the guides and the match request are free for veterans. Representatives pay a subscription to receive requests, so veterans never pay us.
Can a representative charge me for my first claim?
Generally no. Accredited attorneys and claims agents may charge only after VA issues a decision on your claim (38 CFR 14.636). Accredited Veterans Service Organizations help with claims at no cost.
How do you check accreditation?
Before a profile goes live, we check the representative's name and accreditation against the public VA accreditation records. You can check any representative yourself with the same public VA search.
Is my medical information shared?
Only when you send a match request, and only the conditions, ratings, claim stage and state you chose. Representatives you did not pick never see it, and we never sell it.
Is the estimate official?
No. The result follows the public VA rules and the official rate table, but only VA decides your rating and your payment.
What happens after I confirm my email?
Your account is saved and your request is ready. We email your evidence checklist and your representative matches as next steps.
