Score your Army Fitness Test or legacy ACFT instantly — all 5 or 6 events, by age, gender, and standard
The United States Army has always measured soldier fitness, but the standard has evolved significantly. On June 1, 2025, the Army replaced the six-event Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) with the five-event Army Fitness Test (AFT). If you are an active-duty soldier, reservist, or National Guard member preparing for your next test, this calculator gives you an instant, accurate score for either version — broken down by event, total, pass/fail status, performance tier, and promotion points. The AFT currently consists of five events: the 3-Repetition Maximum Deadlift (MDL), the Hand-Release Push-Up (HRP), the Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC), the Plank Hold (PLK), and the Two-Mile Run (2MR). Each event is worth up to 100 points for a maximum total of 500 points. The legacy ACFT added a sixth event — the Standing Power Throw (SPT) — for a maximum of 600 points. This calculator supports both versions so you can track progress across eras or practice for a unit that still uses legacy standards. One of the most important changes in the AFT is the introduction of two distinct scoring standards. The Combat Standard is sex-neutral and age-normed — meaning the same performance thresholds apply to both male and female soldiers in combat military occupational specialties (MOSs). These 21 combat MOSs require a minimum total score of 350 points with at least 60 points per event. The General Standard applies to all other soldiers, uses sex-and-age-normed tables (separate male and female scores), and requires a minimum of 300 total points with at least 60 points per event. Selecting the correct standard for your MOS before calculating ensures your score reflects what you actually need to pass. Scoring tables are indexed by one of ten age groups ranging from 17–21 through 62+, making it critical to select your correct bracket. Older soldiers generally have lower minimum thresholds to reflect realistic physiological differences, ensuring the test remains fair and achievable across careers. The scoring data in this calculator is based on the official AFT Scoring Scales document (AFT_Scoring_Scales_250601.pdf, effective June 1, 2025) and cross-referenced with data published by aftcalculator.com and other primary sources derived from RAND Corporation analysis of approximately one million test records. Beyond a simple pass/fail, this calculator shows your performance tier — Platinum (maximum score), Gold, Silver, Bronze, or Green. For soldiers seeking promotion, the AFT score also contributes promotion points: 10 points for a total of 350–379, 20 points for 380–399, and the maximum 30 promotion points for scores of 400 or above. Knowing your current tier and how close you are to the next level helps you set targeted training goals. The radar chart on the results page visualizes your relative strengths and weaknesses across all events, making it easy to spot where focused training will have the greatest impact on your total score. The weakest event indicator tells you exactly where you should direct your energy. Whether you need to add weight to your deadlift, grind out more push-ups, or shave seconds off your two-mile run, this tool gives you the data to train with purpose and pass with confidence.
Understanding the Army AFT and ACFT
What Is the Army Fitness Test (AFT)?
The Army Fitness Test, which replaced the Army Combat Fitness Test on June 1, 2025, is the official physical fitness assessment for all soldiers in the United States Army, including active duty, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard. It consists of five events — the 3-Rep Maximum Deadlift (MDL), Hand-Release Push-Up (HRP), Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC), Plank Hold (PLK), and Two-Mile Run (2MR) — each scored on a 0–100 scale for a maximum total of 500 points. The legacy ACFT (pre-June 2025) included a sixth event, the Standing Power Throw, and had a maximum score of 600 points. The AFT is designed to measure muscular strength, muscular endurance, aerobic endurance, and power in ways directly applicable to combat tasks.
How Are AFT Scores Calculated?
Each event's raw performance — weight lifted in pounds, repetitions completed, or time recorded — maps to a point value between 0 and 100 using age-normed lookup tables. For the MDL, HRP, and PLK, a higher raw value earns more points. For the SDC and 2MR, a lower time earns more points. A score of 60 is the minimum passing score for each individual event; any event below 60 points constitutes an automatic overall failure regardless of the total. Under the Combat Standard, the same tables apply to all genders (sex-neutral, age-normed). Under the General Standard, separate tables exist for male and female soldiers. The total score is the sum of all event scores, and a soldier passes only when all events meet the minimum and the total meets the standard minimum (300 for General, 350 for Combat).
Why Does the AFT Score Matter for Soldiers?
The AFT has direct professional consequences. Failure to pass can result in bars to reenlistment, separation from service, or limitations on assignments and promotions. Conversely, high scores are rewarded — soldiers who score 350 or above earn promotion points (10, 20, or 30 additional points depending on their score bracket), which can meaningfully accelerate advancement to higher enlisted grades. Officers and NCOs are also evaluated against the AFT, and consistent high performance reflects positively on leadership evaluations. For soldiers competing for selective assignments, special forces, or ranger school, demonstrating peak physical performance is often a prerequisite.
Limitations and Important Notes
This calculator uses representative scoring tables based on the official AFT Scoring Scales document effective June 1, 2025, and cross-referenced with published competitor data. Because the full official lookup tables include one-point increments for every possible raw value, the tables in this tool use 10-point band thresholds (100, 90, 80, 70, 60) and assign the score for the highest achieved band. This means scores may be rounded down by up to 9 points compared to an official scorer using the complete table. For the most authoritative scoring, always reference the official Army publication or verify with your unit's Master Fitness Trainer. The Combat Standard timeline also varies by component: active component soldiers were subject to the Combat Standard from January 1, 2026; ARNG and USAR soldiers from June 1, 2026.
Formulas
Sum of all five event scores (each 0-100) for a maximum of 500 points. Legacy ACFT adds SPT for a 600-point maximum.
A soldier must score at least 60 on every event AND meet the total minimum (300 for General Standard, 350 for Combat Standard) to pass.
AFT total score brackets determine promotion point awards for eligible enlisted soldiers seeking advancement to SSG or SFC.

Worked Examples
Male Soldier, Age 22-26, General Standard
MDL 250 lbs → 80 points (meets 60-point minimum)
HRP 45 reps → 90 points (meets 60-point minimum)
SDC 1:55 → 80 points (meets 60-point minimum)
PLK 2:45 → 80 points (meets 60-point minimum)
2MR 15:30 → 80 points (meets 60-point minimum)
Total = 80 + 90 + 80 + 80 + 80 = 410 points
All events >= 60 and total >= 300 → PASS (General Standard)
Female Soldier, Age 27-31, Combat Standard
Combat Standard uses sex-neutral tables for all events
MDL 200 lbs → 70 points
HRP 30 reps → 70 points
SDC 2:20 → 70 points
PLK 2:10 → 70 points
2MR 17:00 → 70 points
Total = 70 + 70 + 70 + 70 + 70 = 350 points
All events >= 60 and total >= 350 → PASS (Combat Standard)
Soldier Fails One Event
MDL 300 lbs → 90 points
HRP 50 reps → 90 points
SDC 1:45 → 90 points
PLK 1:00 → below 60-point threshold (minimum is ~1:30)
2MR 14:00 → 90 points
PLK score < 60 → automatic FAIL regardless of total
How to Use the Army ACFT / AFT Calculator
Select Test Version and Standard
Choose AFT (current, 5 events, max 500 pts) or ACFT (legacy, 6 events, max 600 pts). Then select Combat Standard if your MOS is one of the 21 combat specialties requiring the sex-neutral table with a 350-point minimum, or General Standard (300-point minimum, sex+age normed tables) for all other soldiers.
Set Gender and Age Group
Select your gender and age group bracket (17-21 through 62+). Age group selection is critical — scoring thresholds are different for each bracket. Under the Combat Standard, gender does not affect scoring tables, but it still matters for legacy ACFT SPT scoring.
Enter Your Raw Event Performances
Enter your results for each event: MDL in pounds, HRP in repetitions, SDC and PLK in mm:ss format (e.g. 2:05 or 1:30), and 2MR in mm:ss format (e.g. 16:00). For ACFT mode, also enter SPT distance in meters. Leave any event blank to score it as zero.
Review Score, Tier, and Focus Areas
Your total score, pass/fail status, performance tier (Green through Platinum), and promotion points display instantly. Check the event bar chart and radar chart to identify your weakest event. Use the 'Focus Event' indicator to prioritize your training before the next test.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the AFT and the ACFT?
The Army Fitness Test (AFT) replaced the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) on June 1, 2025. The key difference is that the AFT removes the Standing Power Throw (SPT), reducing the test from six events to five and the maximum score from 600 to 500 points. The AFT also introduced two formal scoring standards: the Combat Standard (sex-neutral, for 21 combat MOSs, minimum 350 points) and the General Standard (sex+age normed, for all other soldiers, minimum 300 points). The ACFT used three MOS categories — Heavy (Black), Significant (Gray), and Moderate (Gold) — with higher minimum scores for demanding physical roles.
What is the minimum score needed to pass the AFT?
To pass the AFT, a soldier must score at least 60 points on every individual event AND meet the total score minimum for their standard. Under the General Standard, the minimum total is 300 points out of 500. Under the Combat Standard (for combat MOSs), the minimum total is 350 points. Scoring below 60 on any single event results in automatic overall failure, even if your total would otherwise be sufficient. Both thresholds apply regardless of age group or gender.
How do promotion points work with the AFT?
The AFT score contributes promotion points for eligible enlisted soldiers. Soldiers who score 350–379 earn 10 promotion points; 380–399 earns 20 promotion points; and scoring 400 or above earns the maximum 30 promotion points. These points are added to a soldier's total promotion point worksheet score, which factors into promotion to Staff Sergeant (SSG) and Sergeant First Class (SFC). Note that promotion points from the AFT only apply to the AFT version — the legacy ACFT scores are not used for current promotion calculations.
What are the AFT performance tiers?
The AFT has six performance tiers based on total score out of 500: Platinum (500 points — perfect score), Gold (450–499), Silver (400–449), Bronze (350–399), Green (300–349), and Below Standard (below 300). Reaching Bronze or above means you have met the Combat Standard minimum, while Green meets only the General Standard minimum. Platinum represents an exceptional performance achieved by very few soldiers. In the legacy ACFT (600 pts max), tiers were Platinum (600), Gold (570–599), Silver (525–569), Bronze (480–524), and Green (360–479).
What is the Combat Standard and who does it apply to?
The Combat Standard is a sex-neutral, age-normed scoring standard for the 21 military occupational specialties classified as combat roles, including infantry, armor, special forces, rangers, and similar positions. Under this standard, the same scoring thresholds apply regardless of gender, with a minimum total of 350 points. It was implemented for active component soldiers starting January 1, 2026, and for Army Reserve and National Guard soldiers starting June 1, 2026. All other soldiers — the majority of the Army — are scored under the General Standard, which uses separate male and female tables and requires a minimum of 300 points.
How accurate is this calculator compared to official Army scoring?
This calculator uses representative scoring tables derived from the official AFT Scoring Scales document (effective June 1, 2025) and verified reference values from primary sources. The tables use 10-point bands (scoring thresholds at 100, 90, 80, 70, and 60 points), which means a score could be understated by up to 9 points compared to the full granular official table that maps every possible raw value to an exact point score. For training purposes and rough pass/fail determination, this tool is highly accurate. For official record, always verify with your unit's Master Fitness Trainer or the official Army fitness scoring system.
