How the calculation works

  1. Estimates pay base from RAS gross pay and DoD disability %.
  2. Calculates the 20-year equivalent under your retirement system.
  3. Shows the lesser of RAS gross pay or the 20-year equivalent.
  4. If CRSC eligible is No, shows Not eligible.

Important

  • Does not include VA compensation.
  • Does not independently calculate actual High-3.
  • Informational estimate only — not an official determination.
