This is the calculated form I am trying to make: https://vadisabilitygroup.com/va-disability-retro-back-pay-calculator/
What process should I use to allow this calculator to process?
The first question is the date the Veteran filed their claim minus the date they are using this calculator. The answer I want is the number of months between the two dates.
Next, they will choose the percentage they should have been rated, but this starts my confusion. Each percentage has a value to it. For example 10% is $152.64, 20% is $301.74 and so on. But because these percentages are linked to dollar amounts that change every year they are not actually taking 10% of a whole number. So I would need to store the dollar amounts somewhere else?
each question will build on itself. So if the Veteran has a 30% rating, and they have a spouse and they have 4 children, each of these variables adds more to their ending total.
As you can see below there are no $ values connected to these options. And also the JQuery section of the calculator I am trying to create on my own, I am just trying to figure out where the values are stored, what the values look like, and how to create my own JSON file if that is even what I need to do.
