The VA Caregiver Stipend & Pay Chart
The VA caregiver stipend is tied to the local wage rate and the veteran's level of care need. Here is what determines the amount.

Under PCAFC, the monthly caregiver stipend is calculated using the federal wage rate for your geographic area and the veteran's assessed level of care. Higher care needs and higher local wages mean a larger stipend.
Because the amount varies by ZIP code and care level, the best way to estimate your stipend is a personalized review. We can walk you through how the calculation applies to your situation.
