Army Fitness Test (AFT) Calculator

The Army Fitness Test (AFT) is the Army's test of record for physical fitness. It became the official test on June 1, 2025, and it replaced the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT)¹. Each event is scored from 0 to 100 points, so the best possible total is 500. Your standard decides how many points you need.

What the AFT Measures

The AFT has five events. They are the 3 repetition maximum deadlift, the hand-release push-up, the sprint-drag-carry, the plank, and the two-mile run¹. Together they test leg and back strength, upper body endurance, speed, trunk strength, and aerobic fitness. The test does not measure body fat. That is a separate Army check.

The Formula

The AFT has no single equation. Each event result is looked up on an official score table by event, age group, and sex or track, then the five event scores are added²:

Total score = deadlift points + push-up points + sprint-drag-carry points + plank points + two-mile run points

The tables come from the Army's own scoring scales, which list points from 0 to 100 for 10 age groups, from 17-21 up to over 62².

How This Calculator Computes Your Result

First, pick your standard: combat specialty or combat-enabling. Then choose your age group. Sex is asked only for the combat-enabling standard, because the combat standard is the same for men and women. Enter each event result. You can leave an event blank if you are on a profile, and the calculator will total only the events you entered.

The calculator reads each result against the official table and shows the points for every event, your total out of 500, and whether you meet the standard. It uses whole numbers only. It does not guess between table rows. If you enter a result between two rows, you get the points for the row you actually met.

If you cannot run, you can enter an alternate aerobic event: the 2.5-mile walk, 12 km bike, 1 km swim, or 5 km row. These are pass or fail and have no points. The Army says Soldiers in combat MOSs who have a permanent profile must average 70 points across the events they can take and pass the alternate event¹.

What Your Result Means

Pass or fail depends on your standard. In both cases you need at least 60 points in every event, plus a minimum total¹.

Combat specialty (the 21 combat MOSs): 350 total points, at least 60 in every event. Points are the same for men and women and are normed by age. Combat Soldiers are scored on the same column the tables use for men.

Combat-enabling (all other MOSs): 300 total points, at least 60 in every event. Points are normed by sex and age.

A high total does not rescue a weak event. A Soldier with 459 points who scores 59 on the run does not meet the standard. The calculator tells you which event is holding the score down.

The Combat Standard and When It Started

The Army created one sex-neutral, age-normed standard for combat specialties. It took effect on January 1, 2026 for the active component and June 1, 2026 for Reserve and National Guard Soldiers¹. The Army built the standards after reviewing nearly 1 million test records and working with the RAND Corporation³. Combat-enabling specialties kept sex- and age-normed scoring with a 300 point total¹.

What Is Not Covered

This calculator covers the AFT only. The Combat Field Test (CFT) is a separate pass or fail test with seven events. It is being phased in from April 17, 2026, with full implementation on April 17, 2027¹. Height and weight screening is also separate. Retest timing is set by Army policy, for example within 90 days for active duty Soldiers and 180 days for Reserve and Guard¹.
