VA disability pay by rating

What VA pays each month at every combined rating from 10% to 100%, from its table effective December 1, 2025. Each page from 30% has all twelve family rows and the add-ons; 10% and 20% are one flat rate.

Monthly rates at each rating

The bar under each amount is drawn to scale: the 100% rate fills it. 10% and 20% don’t change with dependents; dependents count from 30% (38 U.S.C. 1115). Each row opens that rating’s page with all its family rates. For your own family and SMC-K, use the VA disability pay calculator; to combine several ratings, the combined rating calculator.

The next December 1 change

VA hasn’t published the December 1, 2026 rates yet (checked October 28, 2026). Social Security’s notice in the Federal Register of October 26, 2026 sets a 3.6% cost-of-living increase effective December 2026; VA’s increase needs the yearly VA COLA act, so no December 1, 2026 amount is shown here.
