Vet Kept

Independent site. Not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Estimates only, no help with claims.

Privacy policy

We collect as little as possible. There are no accounts and no sign-up forms, and the calculators run in your browser.

Effective November 7, 2026.

Calculator inputs

Ratings, dependents, dates and amounts you enter are processed in your browser. They are not sent to our servers or stored by us. We never ask for your name, Social Security number, VA file number or contact details.

Shared links

If you press Share this result, the numbers you entered are put into the part of the link after the # sign, so whoever opens it sees the same result. Browsers don't send that part of a link to servers when they load a page, and our page removes the numbers from the address bar after reading them. Anyone you send the link to can see the numbers in it.

Analytics

We may use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits, pages viewed, referring sites, countries and page speed. It doesn't use cookies or track you across sites.

Hosting

The site is served by Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver pages and protect against attacks.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites, and to measure them. You can learn how Google uses this information at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and turn off personalized ads at adssettings.google.com. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent through Google's consent message before personalized ads are shown. The calculators run in your browser and don't send what you type to us or to advertisers.

Affiliate links

We have no affiliate links. If we add one later, it will be clearly marked, and the partner may use cookies to track the referral. It never changes what you pay or how our calculators work.

Children

The site isn't directed at children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect their information.
