Calculation Trail Explained
Enter ratings to see exactly how each disability changes the whole-person calculation, the raw total, the rounded result, and why.
VA Disability Rating Analyzer
Whole Person Analytics
VA disability rating workspace for modeling conditions, choosing a target, seeing the raw gap, and understanding every calculation step.
Build
Each condition is organized into a compact card. Name it, choose the percentage, and identify a paired arm or leg only when it applies.
Mark a left-right arm pair or a left-right leg pair. The paired value is combined first, increased by 10 percent of that paired value, then combined with the remaining ratings.
Calculation Trail
The step-by-step ledger that shows how each rating moves the raw combined value.
Calculation Trail Visualized

Review
Use this reminder before relying on any estimate.
Confirm every rating is granted and active.
Check whether any condition is part of a bilateral pair.
Remember that effective dates, diagnostic codes, and pyramiding rules can change outcomes.
