The Army Fitness Test (AFT) replaced the ACFT in June 2025. It has five events scored from 0 to 100 each. Soldiers in combat roles must meet a sex-neutral combat standard (the male scale), while everyone else uses age- and sex-normed general standards.
How to use the AFT Calculator
- Age group
- Sex
- Standard
- Deadlift (3-rep max)
- Hand-release push-ups
- Sprint-drag-carry – minutes
- Sprint-drag-carry – seconds
- Plank – minutes
- Plank – seconds
- 2-mile run – minutes
- 2-mile run – seconds
Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.
How it works
Choose your age group, sex and standard, then enter your results. For each event the calculator takes the official 60-point and 100-point standards for your group and interpolates between them, so scores between those anchors are close estimates. Check the official scoring scales before relying on a borderline score.

Tips
- Practise each event with the official standards and equipment before test day.
- Have a trained person take tape measurements – technique matters more than the tape.
- Check the current regulation; standards and score charts are updated regularly.
- Pace your run: an even pace beats a fast start and a slow finish.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using an out-of-date score chart.
- Measuring the waist at the wrong landmark for your sex.
- Rounding measurements the wrong way – most regulations round down to the nearest half inch.

Formula
Event points ≈ 60 + 40 × (your result − 60-point standard) ÷ (100-point standard − 60-point standard), limited to 0–100
Total = sum of the five events (max 500)
Pass: at least 60 in every event and a total of 300 (general) or 350 (combat)
Worked example
Inputs — Age group: 17–21; Sex: Male; Standard: General; Deadlift (3-rep max): 230 lb; Hand-release push-ups: 35 reps; Sprint-drag-carry – minutes: 1; Sprint-drag-carry – seconds: 55; Plank – minutes: 2; Plank – seconds: 30; 2-mile run – minutes: 16; 2-mile run – seconds: 30.
Results — Deadlift points = 77 points; Push-up points = 79 points; Sprint-drag-carry points = 82 points; Plank points = 78 points; 2-mile run points = 81 points; Total AFT score = 397 points; Result = Meets the standard.

Frequently asked questions
How many events are in the AFT?
Five: deadlift, hand-release push-ups, sprint-drag-carry, plank and 2-mile run.
What is a passing AFT score?
At least 60 points in every event and 300 in total (general) or 350 (combat).
What is the combat standard?
A sex-neutral standard that uses the male scoring scale for the soldier's age group.
Why is my score an estimate?
The official tables step point by point; this calculator interpolates between the 60- and 100-point standards, which is usually within a few points.
