Hello, Im totally lost when it comes to calculating my possible CSRC pay. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'd like to see where I'm at if I get retired. I've tried to do it myself, but I always seem to come up with a different result. Here's my information:
1. Rank: Sergeant/E-5
2. Time in Service (at estimated time of retirement): 6 years 6 months
3. DoD Rating: 60%
4. VA Rating: 100% P&T w/ SMC-K
5. CSRC: 50%
6. BRS Method A (DoD%): $2,012
7. BRS Method B (Years of service): $436

Based on my calculations, per month, I would receive $3987 from the VA, $2,012 from 60% DoD via Method A or $436 via Method B.

So, using Method A, since it would be more beneficial to the service member, it would be $3,987 + (2,012 X 50%), which would total to $4,993. Is this correct?
 
Close, but no, CRSC is based on length of service, so, it'll be $3987 + $436. Since you only had 6 1/2 years, it's high-36 x 2.0% (due to being under BRS) x 6.5 as you cannot have VA comp + DOD comp, it's one OR the other. Obviously, the VA comp pays you more which takes the DOD 60% completely off the table. Depending on what you get for a rating for CRSC will determine your amount of said compensation, but not to exceed $436. For example, if you were awarded 10% for CRSC for, say, tinnitus, you would get $130/mo and should go for a higher rating. If rated at 50%, you would be looking at $1,102.04 however, you're capped by your length of service and would only get the $436. Total: $4,423 per month including VA
