Every number on this site traces to the regulation, the rate table, or VA's own weekly data.

The calculator

VA ratings combine — they don't add. The combined rating calculator runs the actual 38 CFR §4.25 table (parsed from the eCFR and verified cell-by-cell), applies the §4.26 bilateral factor, and prices the result with the current rate tables (effective 2025-12-01) — showing every step.
