VA combined rating calculator: 70%
Combine individual ratings using 38 CFR 4.25, with the bilateral factor under 4.26 where eligible.
Final combined rating
70%
Combined value before final rounding: 69%
The calculation, step by step
| Previous combined value | Next rating | New combined value |
|---|---|---|
| 0% | 50% | 50% |
| 50% | 30% | 65% |
| 65% | 10% | 69% |
Round each table combination to a whole percent. After all conditions are combined, round once to the nearest 10%; a final 5 rounds up.
The bilateral factor needs compensable disabilities in both paired extremities or the same paired skeletal muscles. All qualifying upper and lower extremity ratings are combined together before adding 10% of that combined value. The calculator checks valid subsets to honor the favorable exception in 4.26(d).
Your actual VA decision controls eligibility. This tool cannot determine whether a diagnosis is compensable or whether another evaluation rule applies.
