VA Math and Bilateral-Factor Analysis
VA Combined Rating Calculator
Enter each service-connected evaluation. The calculator combines ratings in order of severity, applies the bilateral factor when the entries support it, and checks whether excluding bilateral disabilities produces a more favorable final evaluation.
Step 1
Enter disability evaluations
When to identify a body location
Select a left or right extremity only when the evaluation affects use of that extremity and may qualify under 38 C.F.R. § 4.26. Leave other evaluations as “Not part of a bilateral pair.”
