Terms of Use

By using ArmedForcesBenefits.org you accept these terms. The site provides estimates and reference tables built from published government documents. It is not an official source and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Defense (Department of War), DFAS, the VA, or any military branch.

Estimates only

Calculator results and charts are unofficial estimates. Your fitness score of record is the one recorded in your service's fitness system, and your pay is what appears on your Leave and Earnings Statement on myPay. If a result here differs from an official record, the official record is correct.

No professional advice

Nothing on the site is legal, financial, tax, medical, or career advice. The site reports what published documents say and performs the arithmetic they describe. It does not recommend what you should choose. Talk to your unit, your finance office, or a qualified professional before acting on a number.

Accuracy and changes

The editor checks every table against its source and tests every calculator, but documents change and mistakes can happen. The site is provided as is, without any warranty, and the editor is not liable for decisions made using it. Rules and tables may be updated at any time; changes are recorded in the change log.

Reusing the site's tables

The underlying government data is public. You may quote short parts of the site's tables with a link back to the page. Copying whole pages, calculators, or the site's text to republish elsewhere is not permitted.
