ACFT Calculator
Calculate your Army Combat Fitness Test score — per-event points, total score, performance tier, and pass/fail status
AFT 2025 Transition Notice
The US Army replaced the ACFT with the Army Fitness Test (AFT) on June 1, 2025. The AFT has 5 events (max 500 pts) and uses mostly sex-neutral standards. This calculator supports both versions — select your test version above.
ACFT is the legacy 6-event test (pre-June 2025). AFT 2025 is the current standard with 5 events and mostly sex-neutral scoring.
Select your MOS physical demand category to see whether you meet the applicable standard. This affects pass/fail determination for your specific role.
Enter the weight lifted in the 3-repetition maximum hex bar deadlift, in pounds. Valid range: 50–500 lbs.
Enter the distance the 10-lb medicine ball was thrown overhead backward, in meters. Valid range: 1.0–15.0 m. (ACFT only — not in AFT 2025)
Enter the number of complete hand-release push-up repetitions completed. Valid range: 0–100 reps.
Enter your Sprint-Drag-Carry time in minutes and seconds. Lower is better. Valid range: 1:00–5:00.
Enter your forearm plank hold time in minutes and seconds. Higher is better. Valid range: 0:30–8:00.
Enter your two-mile run time in minutes and seconds. Lower is better. Valid range: 10:00–30:00.

Select your test version, gender, and age group, then enter your performance for each event. Your scores will be calculated automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to Use the ACFT Calculator
Select Your Test Version, Gender, and Age Group
Start by choosing whether you are calculating under the legacy ACFT (6 events, 600 pts maximum, pre-June 2025) or the current AFT 2025 (5 events, 500 pts maximum). Then select your gender and your 5-year age bracket. These selections determine which scoring tables are applied — scoring standards vary significantly across the 10 age groups from 17-21 to 62+. For ACFT, also select your MOS Physical Demand Category (Moderate, Significant, or Heavy) to see whether you meet the applicable standard for your specific job.
Enter Your Performance for Each Event
For the Deadlift, enter the weight you successfully lifted in pounds. For the Standing Power Throw (ACFT only), enter the distance in meters. For Hand-Release Push-Ups, enter your rep count. For the Sprint-Drag-Carry, Plank, and Two-Mile Run, enter your time using the split minute and second fields. Leave any event blank to skip it — only events with values entered will be scored.
Review Your Event Scores and Pass/Fail Status
After entering your values, view the per-event score bars showing your points (0-100) for each event. Events scoring below 60 points are highlighted as failing. The overall pass/fail status considers both the per-event 60-point minimum and the total score minimum for your selected MOS category. Check the performance tier and promotion points sections to understand your score in the broader context of Army advancement.
Use Gap Analysis and Training Tips
Review the Gap to Next Tier section to see how many total points separate you from the next performance level. For any events you failed, read the training tips to understand the most effective approaches for improvement. Use the Export CSV button to save your results for record-keeping or to share with your unit's fitness leader. Print your results card for a physical reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the ACFT and the AFT 2025?
The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) was the Army's fitness standard from October 2020 through May 2025. It had six events (MDL, SPT, HRP, SDC, PLK, 2MR) with a maximum score of 600 points, all scored on age- and gender-normed scales. The Army Fitness Test (AFT), effective June 1, 2025, reduced the test to five events by removing the Standing Power Throw. The AFT maximum score is 500 points. Crucially, the AFT shifted four of the five events (MDL, HRP, SDC, PLK) to universal sex-neutral standards — only the Two-Mile Run remains differentiated by age and gender. The Combat Standard requires 350 points total; the General Standard requires 300 points total, both with a 60-point per-event minimum.
What happens if I fail one event but my total score is high enough?
Failing any single event automatically means you fail the entire ACFT or AFT, regardless of your total score. The per-event minimum of 60 points is a hard floor — it cannot be offset by exceptional performance on other events. For example, if you score 100 on every event but score 55 on the Plank, you fail the test even though your total would be 555 or 455 points. This rule ensures that soldiers maintain a minimum standard of physical readiness across all fitness domains, not just their strengths. You must pass every single event at or above 60 points AND meet the total score minimum to receive a passing score.
How do promotion points work with ACFT scores?
For E-5 (Sergeant) and E-6 (Staff Sergeant) promotions, ACFT scores convert to promotion points as follows: 120 points for a total ACFT score of 540-600; 100 points for 480-539; 80 points for 420-479; 60 points for 360-419; and 0 points for any score below 360 (a failing score). These promotion points are added to other categories such as military education, civilian education, awards, and duty performance to create your total promotion score. A strong ACFT score can provide up to 120 promotion points, which can be decisive in competitive promotion environments. Note that promotion points are based on the ACFT (legacy) scoring — the AFT promotion point system may differ as it matures.
What are the MOS Physical Demand Categories and how do they affect my passing standard?
Army jobs are organized into three Physical Demand Categories (PDCs) that reflect the physical demands of the role. The Heavy (Black) category covers combat arms MOSs such as Infantry (11B), Special Forces (18-series), and Cavalry Scout (19D) — these soldiers must score at least 70 per event and 440 total. The Significant (Gray) category covers MOSs like Military Police (31B) and Combat Engineer (12B) — minimum is 65 per event and 440 total. The Moderate (Gold) category covers support, administrative, and medical MOSs — minimum is 60 per event and 360 total. Soldiers who do not meet their MOS PDC minimum receive a PDC failure even if they meet the general minimum, and they may face administrative consequences depending on their unit's policy.
How accurate are the scores from this calculator?
This calculator implements the official Army ACFT scoring tables with linear interpolation between published table values. For exact values matching published Army tables, the score will be precisely correct. For performance values falling between table entries, linear interpolation provides a very close approximation of the official score. Minor rounding differences of plus or minus 1 point are possible at boundary values. The scoring tables implemented here are based on the Army's official FM 7-22 and ACFT scoring standards published through early 2025. Because Army scoring standards may be updated periodically, always verify your official score with your unit's trained graders and ACFT administrator, particularly if your score is near a passing threshold or promotion cutoff.
Can I use this calculator if I have a medical profile or am using an alternate aerobic event?
This calculator scores the six standard ACFT events and five standard AFT events. If you have a permanent medical profile that exempts you from specific events, your official score may be calculated differently by your unit — typically through a modified test or a pass/fail determination rather than a point score. Alternate aerobic events such as the 2.5-mile walk, 12km bike, 1km swim, or 5km row are pass/fail substitutes for the Two-Mile Run and cannot be assigned a point score in the same way. For soldiers on permanent profile using alternate events, consult AR 40-501 and your unit's Master Fitness Trainer for the applicable scoring methodology. This calculator is best suited for soldiers performing the standard event without profile modifications.
