What house does my VA disability pay carry?

By Kyle Melvin · NMLS #1486450 · REV Mortgage

Tax-free, paid monthly for as long as the rating stands, and counted in full by a VA lender. Here is the house it carries. Nothing you type is stored.

First estimate · two numbers

Home price this compensation carries

Loan amount with no down payment — about the purchase price with full entitlement.

Enter your compensation and a rate.

A budget, not a pre-approval. A lender qualifies you on all your income and debts, residual income, and the house's actual tax bill — metro districts, Mello-Roos and CDDs run well above the county average. Most lenders also gross up tax-free compensation, so the real number is often higher.

Refine the estimateTax rate, insurance, HOA, share of compensation to spend. Defaults are national placeholders.

How to use it honestly

  • The figure is the official VA compensation table for your rating and dependents — change either on the compensation page, which also covers how lenders gross up the pay.
  • Add other income only if it is steady and documented. Lenders qualify on the whole picture and on residual income.
  • Use the tax rate for the specific neighborhood — the base guides flag metro districts, Mello-Roos and CDDs — and a real insurance quote in flood or wind markets.

Want the real number, not the estimate?

Send Kyle your rating letter. The pre-approval uses your compensation grossed up, the real tax bill and residual income — a letter a seller will take.
