What's New in VA Compensation Calculator

1.26.13

October 16, 2026

The 2027 pay rates, a new main screen, news in the app, and new pay tables without waiting for an app update. • 2027 pay rates: VA's rates rise 3.6% on December 1 with the cost-of-living adjustment. The app switches to them by itself that day; pick 2027 to see yours now. • New main screen: your combined rating, monthly pay, SMC and pending-claim projection sit together in one summary card. My Disabilities, Claim Tracker, Symptom Log, Dependents & SMC and Calculators & References are cards below it, each showing where things stand, such as your next claim event or when you last logged a symptom. It works at the largest text sizes, too. Prefer the classic screen? Tap the grid button at the top left, or go to Settings → Main Screen, and switch back anytime. • New pay tables without an app update: when VA's rates change, the app picks up the new tables by itself. Each table is signed, so the app only uses tables I've published. • News: COLA updates, VA changes and app news, right in the app. When there's a post, a megaphone shows at the top left of the main screen. • Settings tells you when a new version of the app is on the App Store. • The rate year now follows the year VA is paying and switches to the new rates on December 1 by itself. A year you picked before this update is cleared once, so you start from the current year. • Calendar fix: on a phone set to the Buddhist (Thailand), Japanese, Islamic or Persian calendar, the main screen, Backpay and the Pay Date Predictor could use the wrong year's pay rates. They now always use VA's calendar. • Various bug fixes and improvements. Veteran-owned, no ads, no account.

User reviews

Great app!

This app is very simple and useful. It’s a very nice tracking resource and put the knowledge right in your hands.

Awesome app for tracking VA Disability

This app is really great for tracking pending, rated, & denied VA disabilities. It does all the VA math so you can know exactly what your percentage is. It’s nice that you can type in whatever you want and pick a rating and it does all the work. Really clean, useful app!

Finally Makes VA Math Easy

This is hands down one of the easiest VA disability calculators I’ve used. The interface is clean, straightforward, and actually makes VA math understandable. I like that it lets you track disabilities, dependents, and bilateral conditions without making the process confusing like the VA website sometimes does.

The breakdown of the combined rating and monthly compensation is extremely helpful for planning and understanding your benefits. Everything feels fast, organized, and well thought out.

If you’re a veteran trying to understand your rating or estimate future claims, this app is a great tool to have on your phone. Highly recommended.

Nice app for figuring out exact %

Gets the job done

Great job. My only suggestion would be adding SMC rates

This app is very simple and easy to use. Just type in your condition, choose your ratings, dependents, etc. the VA website is a lot more confusing.

This makes it easier to understand your rates and forecast changes to your rating.

I just wish it also included SMC rates. I’m not complaining but that is the only critique I can think of.

Edit: Maybe a backpay calculator would also be helpful so if someone’s ratings increase they can get an idea of what the back pay would be.
