CRSC Calculation + Questions

You would need to provide the amount on your RAS that is on mypay. I saw you don’t have a retirement account setup so you probably can’t get that number.

With that number you can get an accurate high 3 number. If you remember or know what your average highest 36 months of base pay was we can figure it out. Your average high 3 is usually the last 3 years of someone’s time in. But in cases where reductions in rank have occurred it will not be the last 3 years. Not saying that is your case.. just covering the bases.

Also, understand OP is a reservist (based on what I'm seeing), so they'll have to take their total points and divide by 360 first
 
Wouldn’t my highest 36 month would be my last year which would be 2536 or 30,432 never had reduction of rank.

Doing the math i got from google its 633.75 which is 25% i did the 2.5% x 10 for years

Were you active duty the full 10 years? If not, then no.
 
no so it would be only my active duty time then right for my highest pay

They'll go with what is mentioned on the "Disability" line of 2yrs 5 months and 17 days, which is your combined retirement points / 360, so it sounds like you have around 900 total points, give or take.

Highest 36 months would be 36 months not just 1 year or 12 months. Each year there is a cola adjustment at the very least and there is also the increase is pay as your time in rank goes up. so for example an E4 over 2 years versus an E4 over 4 years. they are not paid the same. in order to get an actual accurate CRSC estimate all the numbers need to be accurate. This includes your time in service.

so 2195.70
128.08
878.28

possible 60 % Due to tera and va 60% is 1663.02 per va rating pay scale
 
If I am reading that correctly it looks you have 2 years and 4 months Time in Service. That is equal to 2.33 years of service X 2.5% which equals 5.8%.

The 5.8 percent is how much of your retirement pay you are entitled to. If 2195.70 is your high 3 or the average of the highest 36 months of base pay then you would have a CRSC max of 127.31 which is 5.8% of 2195.70

So 10 percent VA comp is about 180 with no dependents.. so you need only 10 percent CRSC approval to max out your compensation because you are only entitled to the your time in service retirement percentage or the corresponding VA payment... whichever is lower.
 
where does the dod disability percentage come into play ? im medical retired and my crsc is only 127.31 ? that’s low
 
The DOD percentage would come into play if you didnt have your High 3. On Mypay you normally have a RAS. it is like your retired LES. The RAS doesn't show your high 3 it shows your retired pay based on disability retirement. You need to do math to convert the disability retirement amount to your high 3. so in your case your RAS would show 40 percent of your high 3. You high 3 is low because you were an E4 with very little time in. The law says you cant be paid more than your VA comp and the amount of your retirement as computed by time in service.
 
i’m
so if i get approved for 60% CRSC i’ll only get paid at 10% rate. it looks like that i should’ve just completed the rest of my contract and not go through with the med board.



also i appreciate all of this ill just have to to wait to see what my retirement account says.
 
Correct. You can never get more than the amount of your EARNED retirement. This is because anyone could medically retire and get a lot more compensation than say someone that did 20-30 years.
 
so 2006 to 2017 means nothing yes that’s the whole time i was in the army
 
transferred to guard do to it being closer to home and less of a drive
