VA Special Monthly Compensation Calculator

Estimate your monthly SMC rate by level (2027 rates, effective Dec 1, 2026).

SMC-K is added separately below. Under 38 CFR 3.350(a) it stacks only on the lower levels (S, L, M, N) and never above the SMC-O maximum.
Each SMC-K award adds $144.91/mo (e.g. loss of a hand, foot, or creative organ).
