Your result will show the percentages in calculation order, each combined value, and the final rounding.
An educational calculation is not a VA decision, a payment estimate, or a prediction of a future rating.

This figure only combines the percentages entered. It does not decide eligibility, establish individual ratings, apply special compensation rules, or calculate monthly pay.
Why 50% and 30% do not add up to 80%
VA’s combined ratings table gives 65 when 50 and 30 are combined. With no more ratings to combine, that value rounds to 70%. Add every individual rating before applying the final rounding.
