Army Fitness Test (AFT) score calculator

What is the Army Fitness Test score calculator?

The Army Fitness Test (AFT) is the physical fitness test of record for United States Army soldiers. It became the Army’s official test on 1 June 2025, when it replaced the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) — most visibly by dropping the standing power throw and leaving five events instead of six.

This calculator converts your raw performance in each of those five events into points. You pick your sex and age group, enter what you actually lifted, lifted again, dragged, held and ran, and it returns a score of 0–100 for every event, a total out of 500, and a pass/fail verdict.

The five AFT events

1. 3-repetition maximum deadlift (MDL) — the heaviest weight you can deadlift three times, entered in pounds or kilograms.
2. Hand-release push-up (HRP) — arm-extension push-ups performed in two minutes; you enter the number of repetitions.
3. Sprint-drag-carry (SDC) — five 50-metre shuttles (sprint, sled drag, lateral, kettlebell carry, sprint), scored on elapsed time.
4. Plank (PLK) — a straight-arm/forearm hold, scored on how long you keep the position.
5. Two-mile run (2MR) — a timed two-mile run.

Each event is worth a maximum of 100 points, so the AFT is scored out of 500. A soldier must reach at least 60 points in every single event — a strong total cannot rescue a failed event.

Which published standard this calculator uses

This calculator encodes the U.S. Army’s AFT Scoring Scales effective 1 June 2025 — the sex-normed, age-normed general standard. Please read the following scope notes before trusting a number:

• Age groups covered: 17–21 and 22–26 only, for both sexes. The published scales run through ten brackets (up to 62+); the two youngest brackets are the ones encoded here. If you are 27 or older, this calculator will not give you your correct standard.
• The 60-point minimum and the 100-point maximum for each event are the exact published raw values (see the table below).
• Points between those two anchors are linearly interpolated. The official scorecard’s intermediate rows are not perfectly linear, so an in-between event score produced here can differ from the official chart by a point or two. It is an estimate, not an official score.
• A performance worse than the 60-point minimum is reported as 0 points for that event. The official chart does award partial credit below the minimum; those rows are not reproduced here. Either way the event — and therefore the test — is failed.
• The pass/fail verdict itself is exact, because it depends only on the published 60-point minimums.

Encoded standards (60-point minimum / 100-point maximum)

How does the calculator work?

Each event has two published anchors for your sex and age group: the raw result worth 60 points and the raw result worth 100 points. The calculator places your performance between them.

For the deadlift, push-ups and plank a bigger number is better, so with $R$ your result, $R_{60}$ the 60-point standard and $R_{100}$ the 100-point standard:

$S = 60 + 40 \cdot \frac{R - R_{60}}{R_{100} - R_{60}}$

For the sprint-drag-carry and the two-mile run a smaller time is better, so with $T$ your time, $T_{60}$ the slowest time still worth 60 points and $T_{100}$ the time needed for 100 points:

$S = 60 + 40 \cdot \frac{T_{60} - T}{T_{60} - T_{100}}$

Every event score is clamped: it is capped at 100 once you meet or beat the maximum standard, and reported as 0 if you miss the 60-point minimum. Scores are rounded to whole points, and the total is their sum:

$S_{total} = S_{MDL} + S_{HRP} + S_{SDC} + S_{PLK} + S_{2MR}$

You pass when every one of the five events reaches 60 points, which automatically puts the total at 300 or more.

Worked example

A male soldier in the 17–21 age group posts:

• Deadlift: 240 lb (108.86 kg)
• Hand-release push-ups: 40 repetitions
• Sprint-drag-carry: 2:00 (120 seconds)
• Plank: 2:30 (150 seconds)
• Two-mile run: 16:30 (990 seconds)

Applying the 17–21 male anchors from the table:

• Deadlift: $60 + 40 \cdot \frac{240 - 150}{340 - 150} = 78.9 \approx 79$ points
• Push-ups: $60 + 40 \cdot \frac{40 - 15}{58 - 15} = 83.3 \approx 83$ points
• Sprint-drag-carry: $60 + 40 \cdot \frac{148 - 120}{148 - 89} = 79.0 \approx 79$ points
• Plank: $60 + 40 \cdot \frac{150 - 90}{220 - 90} = 78.5 \approx 78$ points
• Two-mile run: $60 + 40 \cdot \frac{1197 - 990}{1197 - 802} = 81.0 \approx 81$ points

The total is $79 + 83 + 79 + 78 + 81 = 400$ out of 500. Every event clears 60 points, so the soldier passes. Entering the deadlift as 108.86 kg instead of 240 lb gives the same 79 points — the calculator converts before scoring.

Practical notes

• Combat MOS have a higher bar. Soldiers in the designated combat military occupational specialties are held to a sex-neutral (male) scale and must reach 350 total points, still with 60 points minimum per event, rather than the 300 that the general standard implies. The 400 in the worked example clears both bars; a 320 would clear only the general one.
• The weakest event decides everything. Because 60 points per event is a hard gate, an athlete who maxes four events and misses one still fails. Train the event you are closest to the minimum in, not the one you enjoy.
• Enter your real deadlift, not your one-rep max. The MDL is a three-repetition maximum; a single heavy pull will overstate your score.
• Bodyweight and body composition are separate requirements. Passing the AFT does not exempt you from the Army’s body composition programme — check that side with the Army body fat calculator.
• Results here are an unofficial estimate for training and self-assessment. Your official score comes from a graded, Army-administered test.
