Calculate your ratingEducational estimates, not financial advice or a VA determination. Only the VA decides ratings and compensation.

Field guides, plain English
Answers to the questions service members and veterans actually search for, with official sources linked.
Questions, answered
How is military base pay calculated in 2026?
Base pay is set by your pay grade and years of service using the official military pay tables. Military Benefits Tracker estimates 2026 base pay for Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard service, then adds BAS, allowances, and special pay. Read the 2026 pay guide.
How do I find my BAH rate by ZIP code?
BAH depends on your duty station ZIP code, pay grade, and whether you have dependents. The app looks up BAH housing rates by ZIP code and pay grade in seconds. Read the BAH guide.
How does the VA combine disability ratings?
The VA uses a whole-person method: each additional rating applies only to the remaining non-disabled percentage, then the total is rounded to the nearest 10%. The app does this math for you and estimates 2026 compensation with dependents. Read the VA ratings guide.
How much will my TSP grow over time?
Growth depends on your contribution rate, BRS matching, time horizon, and allocation across the C, S, I, F, G, and L Funds. The app projects TSP growth so you can compare scenarios, as estimates rather than financial advice. Read the TSP guide.
Does SCRA waive credit card annual fees?
Some issuers voluntarily waive fees for eligible servicemembers under SCRA or MLA policies, but relief is never automatic. You must contact your issuer and confirm. The app helps you review SCRA and MLA resources and track issuer-confirmed relief. Read the SCRA guide.
Where can I find military discounts near me?
The app's map shows military discount programs and source-linked benefit locations near you: food, travel, hotels, parks, and more. Confirm each offer with the merchant before visiting. Read the discounts guide.
What benefits are available to National Guard members?
Guard members can be eligible for drill pay, certain federal programs, and state benefits such as tuition assistance that vary widely by state. Read the Guard and Reserve pay guide and the state benefits guide.
What veteran benefits are available in my state?
States offer property tax exemptions, education benefits, recreation passes, and more, each with its own eligibility rules. The app covers all 50 states and Washington, D.C., with links to official sources. Read the state benefits guide.
Can military members access airport lounges?
Many airports host USO centers, and certain lounges and credit cards offer access eligible military members can use. The app maps USO centers and lounge resources with source links. Read the travel benefits guide.
Does Military Benefits Tracker require a bank login?
No. There is no account, no bank login, and no data selling. Saved calculator and tracker data stays on your device. Read the Privacy Policy for details.
