### 4/5 — Beneficial

*2025-12-18, version 1.10*

I like the app however it needs to be updated to current amounts and would be helpful to add SMC rates

### 4/5 — Useful for a Ball-Park Estimate

*2025-09-25, version 1.10*

I checked my rating. Used this calculator. And was happy with the number. However, I tried a different app, and got a different number. Upon further reading, this app is updated UP-TO 2021. So my 2025 rating is different. Fortunately, the it was a lower number in 2021 than it is now - so I don’t have the hurt of disappointment. Still a good means of getting an idea.

### 2/5 — Needs a massive update

*2025-07-12, version 1.10*

This app I’m sure in its time was great. However it is inaccurate now in 2025.

### 3/5 — Calculations incorrect

*2025-05-29, version 1.10*

I am currently 60% service connected. I am married and have 3 dependent children under 18 and I receive $1,743.93/ month. As per this app calculations it says I receive $1,432.39. 

It seems like it has not been updated as COLA increases each fiscal year.

### 5/5 — Handy Tool

*2025-01-28, version 1.10*

Quickly and accurately determine the raw score to develop an effective strategy for a successful increase in compensation. Thumbs-up!

### 5/5 — Vet calculator

*2024-05-23, version 1.10*

I think this is the best veteran calculator on the market. Just trying to figure out VA math is frustrating, but this wonderful tool makes it easy as 123.

### 5/5 — VA Compensation Rates

*2024-05-14, version 1.10*

I was just wondering if this app still getting updated. It needs to catch up with the 2024 VA rate changes. I will appreciate a note if this is app still been maintained. Thank you.

### 2/5 — Needs Updated

*2024-05-08, version 1.10*

This would be more beneficial if it were updated to meet yearly increases when it comes to financial payouts. Current(2024) 100% disability is 39?? A month. Not 33??

### 5/5 — Impossible to calculate without it!

*2024-04-10, version 1.10*

The VA has a complicated formula for determining what your combined rating will be. This app will do it for you with ease.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!!!

*2024-03-20, version 1.10*

This App really helps me out with my upcoming retirement and information I wasn’t aware of in regards to my VA/Med Board results…
Proud to have served for 34 years!!!

*2025-01-20, version 1.10*

Need a update

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work

*2024-03-17, version 1.10*

On my iPhone it just sends me in a loop and never finishes. Kinda pointless, when I’m actually trying to get helped out

### 1/5 — Not intuitive.

*2023-07-25, version 1.10*

Pretty sad to be honest.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2023-07-09, version 1.10*

About a year ago this app worked perfectly! Now it will only let you add one thing! Very disappointing!

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t even let me start

*2023-03-19, version 1.10*

Just downloaded the app.  Opens up to arm.  I have no disabilities with arm.  It’s fingers and other items.  Couldn’t even go further.

### 1/5 — Update calculations

*2022-12-10, version 1.10*

Is it possible for u to update the APP TO THE CALCULATIONS FOR 2022 and now 2023

### 1/5 — Needs Updated

*2022-04-05, version 1.10*

This app is very useful, but needs to be updated for 2022 VA pay increase. I know several veterans that user this app. To clear up VA math. This app makes the math easy. Please update soon. Thank You!!!

Not updated as of 4 April 2022. Was a useful app but not supported change my review to only 1 (One ) star….

### 1/5 — VetCalc is not great

*2021-08-21, version 1.10*

Recommended but I think by one of creators or someone invested in person downloading app. Utterly useless when you can only select 4 things then percent of disability to get dollar value. Internet explorer can do that without an advertisement for lawyer popping up each time. Downloaded and deleted in 2 mins.

### 5/5 — Right on target

*2025-08-15, version 1.10*

This app has helped me many times over in explaining to people how the VA calculates their rating. I am a county vet service officer and when we use Vet Calc They finally understand how the disability is not added up, but taken away from a healthy body. I’m glad to have this in my toolbox.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-06-25, version 1.10*

Very handy and accurate. I’m in the midst of reviews that may take me from 90% to 100%.  Great tool to keep track of my progress.

### 5/5 — Does the VA math for you

*2025-04-11, version 1.10*

It figures your rating for you which sounds simple until you start adding and compare it to what the VA added up.

### 5/5 — IT1

*2025-03-20, version 1.10*

Calculations

### 5/5 — Nice and easy to use
