How This Calculator Works
The VA doesn’t add your ratings. They use “whole person” math: each rating is taken from what’s left after previous ones.
Example: You’re 30% disabled (so 70% efficient). Then you add a 20% rating. That 20% is taken from the remaining 70%, which equals 14%. Your total is 30 + 14 = 44%.
Final numbers round to the nearest 10%. We then check for the bilateral factor (both legs or both arms).
