Frequently Asked Questions

How is the combined rating calculated?

VA Calc uses the official VA combined-ratings formula (the "whole person" method) described in 38 CFR ยง 4.25. Individual ratings are combined sequentially and the result is rounded to the nearest 10%. The app shows each step of the calculation.

Where do the pay rates come from?

Monthly compensation amounts use the official 2026 VA disability compensation rates published by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Rates are updated in the app when the VA publishes new ones.

Does the app account for dependents?

Yes. You can enter a spouse, dependent children, and dependent parents. VA Calc applies the additional compensation for dependents per the 2026 rate table.

What about SMC (Special Monthly Compensation)?

VA Calc includes a reference for SMC rates. It does not determine SMC eligibility โ€” that requires a VA rating decision. Always confirm eligibility with the VA or an accredited representative.

Where is my data stored?

Everything stays on your device. VA Calc has no accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics, and no tracking. It works entirely offline.

Is this app affiliated with the VA?

No. VA Calc is an independent planning tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs or any government agency. It does not communicate with any VA system. Nothing you enter is submitted to the VA.

Does the app provide legal or medical advice?

No. VA Calc does not provide medical, legal, or accredited representation services. For help with claims or appeals, contact an accredited Veterans Service Organization or a VA-accredited attorney.
