The 105 tools span VA disability and claims, military pay and retirement, TRICARE, GI Bill and education benefits, transition and separation planning, and family and caregiver benefits. Some are quick calculators — enter a rank and location, get a number. Others are longer-form guides meant to walk through a multi-step process, like preparing evidence for a VA claim or comparing GI Bill options before enrollment.
The calculators are built to handle the parts most consumer tools skip. The VA Disability Rating Calculator, for example, applies the VA's actual combined-rating math, including the bilateral factor and dependent adjustments, rather than simply adding percentages together, a shortcut that produces the wrong number more often than people realize. The Retirement Pay Calculator covers all four active-duty retirement systems plus Reserve and Guard rules, and the State Veterans Benefits tool compares tax exemptions, education, and healthcare benefits across every state and territory in one place.
The category breakdown also includes a set of tools built for military families rather than the service member alone — spouse and dependent benefits, survivor and caregiver programs, and a separate track aimed at military teenagers and young adults covering first paychecks, first apartments, and first FAFSA filings. The goal across all of it is the same: fewer benefits left unclaimed because nobody explained the eligibility rules in plain language.
