Army Fitness Test (AFT) Calculator

An Army Fitness Test (AFT) score is the sum of five events worth 0–100 points each, for a maximum of 500. To pass the general standard you need 60 points in every event; the combat standard also needs 60 per event but at least 350 total, on sex-neutral tables. Enter your raw scores to see both. The calculator uses the official June 2025 AFT score tables for every age group; it's meant for Soldiers, recruits and trainers planning for a record test.

How to use this AFT calculator

1. Enter your age and sex. The calculator places you in the right age bracket of the official tables (17–21 up to "Over 62").
2. Choose General or Combat. Combat scores everyone on the male/combat (M|C) column.
3. Enter your deadlift weight in pounds, hand-release push-up reps, and your sprint-drag-carry, plank and 2-mile run times as m:ss.
4. Read the points per event, the total out of 500 and the pass/fail line. An event in red is under 60 points and fails the test on its own.

How the AFT score is calculated

There is no formula — each event is a table lookup. The Army's score tables (effective 1 June 2025) list, for each age bracket and each column, the raw score needed for each point value. Your total is simply:

AFT total = deadlift points + push-up points + sprint-drag-carry points + plank points + run points

The general standard is "performance-normed by sex and age" and needs at least 60 points per event. The combat standard is "sex-neutral and age-normed" and needs 60 per event and 350 overall (ATP 7-22.01 para 2-30; Army Directive 2025-06 para 4b). Because 60 × 5 = 300, the general standard never needs more than the per-event minimums.

Worked examples

Raw scores for each point level, age 22–26

This table shows the raw score behind 100, 90, 80, 70 and 60 points, pulled from the official tables for the most common age group. Each cell is the lowest raw score that still earns at least that many points (male/combat column / female column). Use the calculator for other ages.

Minimum passing standards by age

The 60-point raw score for each event in every age bracket, male/combat column first and female column second. Meeting all five is the general-standard pass line.

Maximum-score standards by age

The raw score that earns the full 100 points in each event, by age bracket (male/combat / female).

AFT event standards and technique

These points summarize the grading standards in ATP 7-22.01, chapter 2. A repetition that breaks them is not counted, so they matter as much as fitness.

3-repetition maximum deadlift

Three continuous repetitions with a hex bar, closed grip only. Hips must not rise above the shoulders, the back must stay flat, and the plates must touch the ground each rep — dropping the bar or resting on the ground ends the attempt. Knees caving in, a rounded back or losing balance is a safety stop. The heaviest successful attempt is your score, in 10 lb steps.

Hand-release push-up

Two minutes. From the prone position, push up as one unit to full elbow extension, lower chest, hips and thighs to the ground together, then extend both arms out into a "T" before returning the hands. Feet stay within a boot's width. The front leaning rest is the only rest position; a knee on the ground or a lifted hand or foot in the up position ends the event.

Sprint-drag-carry

Five 50 m shuttles on a 25 m lane: sprint, drag a 90 lb sled backwards, lateral shuffle, carry two 40 lb kettlebells, then sprint again. You must touch the 25 m line with hand and foot (foot only on the carry) or the grader calls you back — time you lose, not points you lose directly.

Plank

Forearms on the ground forming a triangle, fingers not interlocked, body straight from head to heels. The grader calls time every 15 seconds and gives one verbal warning for poor alignment; touching the ground with anything but feet and forearms/hands, or lifting a hand or foot, ends the event.

2-mile run

Starts 10 minutes after the last Soldier finishes the plank. You may walk or be paced, but not pushed or pulled, and leaving the course ends the event. It is not run on unimproved terrain.

Passing, profiles and test frequency

• Every event counts. Scoring under 60 on any one event is a test failure, and you must still attempt all five events.
• Permanent profiles: you take every event the profile allows. The alternate aerobic events (5,000 m row, 12,000 m bike, 1,000 m swim, 2.5-mile walk) are go/no-go against the 60-point time. Combat-specialty Soldiers on a profile need an average of 70 across the events they take — for example 280 over four events.
• Frequency: active component, two passing record tests per calendar year at least 4 months apart; most Reserve Component Soldiers once a year, at least 8 months apart.
• Combat standard not met: a Soldier who passes the general standard but not the combat standard is subject to in-service reclassification or utilization (Army Directive 2025-06 para 4h).

APFT, ACFT and AFT: a short history

The Army's test of record has changed twice since 2022, which is why older score charts found online no longer apply:

During the ACFT changeover, Soldiers with a record APFT were given an ACFT promotion score of twice their last APFT total (Army Directive 2022-05). Old APFT and ACFT score charts don't apply to the AFT, so don't convert them.

Common mistakes that cost points

• Entering a deadlift that isn't a 10 lb step. Only the heaviest weight you actually lifted for three reps counts.
• Typing a time as a plain number. This calculator reads 2.5 as 2 minutes 30 seconds, so enter times as m:ss to avoid surprises.
• Assuming a high total covers a weak event. It doesn't: the 60-point floor applies to each event separately.
• Choosing the combat column when you hold a non-combat MOS. The general standard is the one that applies to you; check the MOS list in Army Directive 2026-07 if unsure.

How scores between table rows are read

The score tables list a threshold for each point value. You earn the points of the best row you meet — for the deadlift, push-ups and plank at least the listed value, for the sprint-drag-carry and run no slower than the listed time. A result between two rows gets the lower row's points. The Army documents don't spell this rule out; it follows from how the tables are laid out. The tables label the oldest group "Over 62"; this calculator puts age 62 in that group.

This is an unofficial training tool, not medical or fitness advice; your DA Form 705-TEST and the Army's system of record are the official score. Get medical clearance before hard training if you have an injury or profile. Other services use very different tests: see the USMC PFT/CFT, Air Force PFRA and Navy PRT calculators, or plan fueling for training with the EER calculator. The Army body composition check is separate from the AFT: see the Army body fat (WHtR) calculator.
