What is the DAV Disability Calculator?

The DAV Disability Calculator is an online tool designed to help veterans, service members, or individuals receiving disability compensation quickly determine their disability benefit amount and remaining amount after deduction.

By entering just two key pieces of information:

  • Base Amount – Your total base compensation or salary amount.
  • Disability Percentage – The percentage of disability assigned (0–100%).

The calculator instantly provides:

  • Disability Benefit – The portion of your base amount you will receive as disability compensation.
  • Remaining Amount – The amount left after the disability percentage is deducted.

Why Use the DAV Disability Calculator?

Many people struggle to do manual calculations when trying to understand their disability compensation. Common issues include:

  • Making calculation mistakes.

  • Being easy to use with only two required inputs.
  • Helping you plan finances better by showing benefit and remaining balance.

How to Use the DAV Disability Calculator

Using the calculator is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step process:

  1. Enter the Base Amount
    • Input your total base salary or compensation into the “Base Amount” field.
    • Example: If your monthly compensation is $3,000, enter 3000.
  2. Enter the Disability Percentage
    • Input the assigned disability percentage (0–100%).
    • Example: If you have a 40% disability rating, enter 40.
  3. Click “Calculate”
    • The calculator instantly computes your Disability Benefit and Remaining Amount.

Example Calculation

Let’s take an example to make it clear:

  • Base Amount: $5,000
  • Disability Percentage: 30%

Step 1: The formula applied is:
Disability Benefit = Base Amount × (Disability % ÷ 100)

Step 2:
$5,000 × (30 ÷ 100) = $1,500

Step 3:
Remaining Amount = Base Amount − Disability Benefit
$5,000 − $1,500 = $3,500

✅ Final Result:

  • Disability Benefit = $1,500
  • Remaining Amount = $3,500
