VA Disability Benefits — calculators & state relief
VivMetric’s veterans pillar turns the public 38 CFR rating rules and the 2026 VA compensation schedule into tools you can run in your browser — free, private, and linked to the source. It pairs naturally with the military fitness standards already on this site.

Open →Why this pillar
The military and veteran audience is one audience. A service member who checks their tape-test gate here may later file a VA claim — and the VA combined-rating math is exactly the kind of calculation a static page cannot answer for you. Our calculators do the iterative “efficiency” math (38 CFR § 4.25) and the bilateral factor (§ 4.26) live, so you see your combined percentage instead of guessing.
State property-tax relief is the other half: it is decidedly not federal, it varies jurisdiction by jurisdiction, and most veterans never learn they qualify. The 51-state matrix below summarizes who waives what — with explicit “verify with your county” flags where amounts shift year to year.
