VA combined ratings table (38 CFR §4.25)
VA combines disability ratings instead of adding them. To use the table, find the larger rating on one axis and the next rating on the other. The cell where they meet is the combined value before final rounding.
Continue with each remaining rating from highest to lowest. The final overall value rounds to the nearest 10 only once, after every rating has been combined.
This page shows the ten-point values from 10% through 90% of the full table. See the official §4.25 table on eCFR for intermediate values. The source was last verified on 2026-07-07.
| Rating % | 10% | 20% | 30% | 40% | 50% | 60% | 70% | 80% | 90% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10% | 19 | 28 | 37 | 46 | 55 | 64 | 73 | 82 | 91 |
| 20% | 28 | 36 | 44 | 52 | 60 | 68 | 76 | 84 | 92 |
| 30% | 37 | 44 | 51 | 58 | 65 | 72 | 79 | 86 | 93 |
| 40% | 46 | 52 | 58 | 64 | 70 | 76 | 82 | 88 | 94 |
| 50% | 55 | 60 | 65 | 70 | 75 | 80 | 85 | 90 | 95 |
| 60% | 64 | 68 | 72 | 76 | 80 | 84 | 88 | 92 | 96 |
| 70% | 73 | 76 | 79 | 82 | 85 | 88 | 91 | 94 | 97 |
| 80% | 82 | 84 | 86 | 88 | 90 | 92 | 94 | 96 | 98 |
| 90% | 91 | 92 | 93 | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 |
Worked example: 60%, 40%, and 20%
Start with 60% and combine it with 40%. The table gives 76. Then combine 76 with 20%. The full table gives 81. Round 81 to the nearest 10 once, at the end, for a final combined rating of 80%.
Paired left and right limbs can require an additional bilateral-factor step under 38 CFR §4.26. This table alone does not show that step. Read the full VA math walkthrough for how it fits into the calculation.
