CRDP vs CRSC Calculator (2026): Which Pays More After Tax
Estimate the VA waiver, concurrent receipt restoration and take-home difference. Use your DFAS statement and branch letter where possible.
Your retired pay and VA details
What the estimate compares
One waived amount. Two different rules.
CRDP is generally taxable and may restore waived retired pay. CRSC is tax-free but requires branch approval and is limited by eligibility and retired-pay rules. The calculator compares both on your entered assumptions.
