Combined ratings table
VA combined ratings table (Table I)
When you have more than one rating, the VA does not add them. It uses the Combined Ratings Table in 38 CFR 4.25. The full table is below. If you only want the answer for your own ratings, use the calculator.
How to read the table
- Put your ratings in order, highest first.
- Find the highest rating in the left column and the next rating in the top row. Where they meet is the combined value of the two.
- For a third rating, find that combined value in the left column and the third rating in the top row. Keep going until none are left.
- At the end, round to the nearest 10. A value ending in 5 rounds up.
60% and 40%: find 60 in the left column and 40 in the top row. They meet at 76. Then 20%: find 76 on the left and 20 on top. They meet at 81, which rounds to 80%.
The left column starts at 19 because the table's own note says 10 combined with 10 is 19. The rule says to carry the value exactly as found in the table into the next step. That is why a calculator that keeps decimals can differ by 10 points in a few cases, as this article explains.

What the table does not cover
- The bilateral factor for both arms, both legs or paired muscles is added before the table is used. See the bilateral factor calculator.
- It gives the combined rating, not the payment. For the monthly amount see the pay chart.
- It is not a decision on any claim. Only the VA decides a rating.
