VA Disability Pay Rates
The tables below are transcribed from VA.gov, except the 2027 column, which is a projection and is labeled as one. At 10% and 20%, dependents add nothing. At 30% and above, dependent amounts apply. The full tables for every spouse/parent/child combination are rendered below from the same data file the pay calculator uses, so the calculator and this page cannot drift apart. Annual pages: 2024 · 2025 · 2026 · 2027 projection.

Frequently asked questions
What are the official VA disability pay rates for 2026?
In 2026, effective December 1, 2025, a veteran alone receives $180.42 at 10%, $552.47 at 30%, $1,808.45 at 70%, and $3,938.58 at 100% per month, from the official VA table on VA.gov.
Are 2027 VA disability rates published?
No. As of October 29, 2026, VA.gov still displays the 2026 dollar tables as current. The Social Security Administration announced a 3.6% COLA on October 14, 2026, but that percentage is not a VA-published 2027 dollar table. VA Pay IQ shows 2027 only as a projection: the 2026 amount × 1.036, labeled "Projected estimate — not a published VA rate".
