What Are VA Disability Rates?
VA disability rates refer to the monthly tax-free compensation paid to Veterans with service-connected conditions. Your total monthly payment depends on your combined VA disability rating, number of dependents, and special circumstances such as Aid and Attendance.
In 2025, rates increased due to the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), helping Veterans keep up with inflation.

- A 3.2% COLA increase from 2024
- Higher added amounts for dependents
- Expanded support for surviving spouses and parents
The VA uses your combined rating (e.g., 70%, 80%, 100%) to determine your base pay, which increases if you have a spouse, children, or dependent parents.
How VA Disability Ratings Are Calculated
The VA doesn’t simply add up individual disabilities to get your final rating. Instead, it uses a combined rating table that applies percentages in descending order of severity.
Example: A 50% disability combined with a 30% disability is not 80% — it’s actually 65% after rounding.
Our calculator handles this math automatically so you don’t have to.
