Understanding VA Math

The VA does not simply add your disability percentages together. Instead, they use a formula called “combined ratings” or “VA math.”

The idea is that each additional disability is applied to your remaining healthy body, not your whole body. For example, if you have a 50% rating, the VA considers you 50% disabled and 50% healthy. A second 30% rating is applied to that remaining 50%, giving you 15% more (30% of 50%), for a combined total of 65%.

The exact combined value is then rounded to the nearest 10% to get your official VA rating. In the example above, 65% rounds to 70%.
