AFT CalculatorArmy Fitness Test Score Calculator
Score all five Army Fitness Test events against the official Army scoring scales by age, sex, and General or Combat standard. Then see which event will give you your next points for the least work.
Scoring uses every row of the official AFT Scoring Scales (approved 15 May 2025, effective 1 June 2025). Passing rules follow army.mil/aft.
Cheapest next points
Each row shows what one realistic improvement is worth in points for your age group. The highlighted event pays the most for the effort.
- Enter at least one event to rank your improvements.

Army waist-to-height ratio check
Body composition is assessed separately from the AFT. Since July 2026 the Army uses a waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) below 0.55, with the waist measured at the navel and height in inches.
Enter height and waist to see your ratio and your maximum compliant waist.
Quick answer: The Army Fitness Test (AFT) has five events, each scored from 0 to 100 points, for a maximum of 500. Every soldier must score at least 60 points in every event. Combat-enabling specialties need 300 total on age- and sex-normed tables. The 21 combat MOSs need 350 total on a sex-neutral, age-normed scale.
How this AFT calculator works
The calculator stores every row of the Army’s published scoring scales for all ten age groups and both scoring columns. When you enter a result, it awards the highest point value your performance meets. For the deadlift, push-ups, and plank, that means at or above the listed value. For the sprint-drag-carry and 2-mile run, it means at or below the listed time. This is the same lookup a grader does with the printed tables, so there is no rounding or estimating.
Three settings decide which table you are scored on:
- Age on test day sets your age group, from 17–21 through 62 and over.
- Standard. General standard soldiers are scored on the male or female column. Combat MOS soldiers are always scored on the sex-neutral M|C column, whatever their sex.
- Aerobic event. Soldiers with a permanent profile can replace the 2-mile run with an alternate event that is graded GO or NO-GO instead of points.
Beyond the total, the tool shows the gap to 60 points in every event, the exact result that earns your next point, a ranking of where extra training pays the most, a target planner for any total from 300 to 500, and the full chart for your group.

The plank uses identical times for men and women within each age group. It is the only event where the sex column makes no difference.
AFT passing standards: General vs Combat
The Army introduced two standards with the AFT. Both require at least 60 points in every one of the five events. Scoring below 60 in any single event is a failure, no matter how high the total is.
| Rule | General standard | Combat standard |
|---|---|---|
| Who it applies to | Combat-enabling specialties | 21 combat MOSs |
| Scoring tables | Age- and sex-normed | Age-normed, sex-neutral (M|C column) |
| Minimum per event | 60 points | 60 points |
| Minimum total | 300 of 500 | 350 of 500 |
| Effective | 1 June 2025 | 1 Jan 2026 active component; 1 June 2026 Reserve and National Guard |
Because 60 points in each of five events already adds up to 300, any General standard soldier who clears 60 everywhere passes. The Combat standard is harder. A soldier who scores exactly 60 in every event fails the Combat standard by 50 points, so combat arms soldiers need to average 70 points across the test.
Profile soldiers in combat specialties must average 70 points across the events they can take and pass the alternate aerobic event if one is required. Select an alternate event in the calculator and it applies this rule automatically.
The five AFT events explained
3-repetition maximum deadlift (MDL)
You lift a hex bar for three controlled repetitions at the heaviest weight you can manage. It measures lower-body and grip strength. Scores step up in 10-pound increments, so a few pounds below a table line earns nothing extra. That is why the calculator shows the exact weight for your next point.
Hand-release push-up, arm extension (HRP)
You complete as many correct repetitions as possible in two minutes, releasing your hands from the ground and extending your arms at the bottom of every rep. Reps that break form are not counted, so clean technique is worth more than speed.
Sprint-drag-carry (SDC)
Five back-to-back shuttles on a 25-meter lane: a sprint, a sled drag, a lateral shuffle, a kettlebell carry, and a final sprint. It is scored on total time, and lower is better. For many soldiers it is the event where a few seconds buys the most points.
Plank (PLK)
You hold a forearm plank in a straight line from head to heels for as long as possible. Time stops when form breaks. The plank is the only event scored the same for men and women within an age group.
2-mile run (2MR)
A timed two-mile run on a measured course. Its scoring has the widest spread of any event. A 17–21 year-old man needs 19:57 for 60 points and 13:22 for 100, so in the middle of the table every 8 to 10 seconds you cut is worth about one point.
Alternate aerobic events for soldiers on a profile
Soldiers with a permanent profile that prevents the 2-mile run can test on the 2.5-mile walk, 12 km bike, 1 km swim, or 5 km row. These events are pass or fail. You receive a GO if you finish at or under the time for your age group and scoring column.

AFT vs ACFT: what changed
The AFT replaced the six-event Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) as the test of record on 1 June 2025. The standing power throw was removed, so the test went from six events to five and the maximum score dropped from 600 to 500. The Army also published new scoring tables and added the separate, sex-neutral Combat standard. If you search for an “ACFT calculator” today, the AFT tables on this page are the ones that now apply.
How to raise your AFT score
Points are not equally expensive. Use the “Cheapest next points” panel above to find where your effort goes furthest, then train with these priorities:
- Deadlift: Train heavy triples two to three times a week and build grip strength. The bar moves in 10-pound steps, so aim to clear the next table line, not just add a few pounds.
- Hand-release push-ups: Practice the exact movement under test conditions. Many soldiers lose reps to the release phase, not to fatigue.
- Sprint-drag-carry: Rehearse transitions between lanes and practice sled drags. Cutting turnaround time is often faster than getting fitter.
- Plank: Build time under tension with progressive holds. The scale gives a point for every few seconds in the middle range.
- 2-mile run: Keep most of your running easy and add one interval session and one tempo session per week. Pacing the first mile correctly protects your time.
Fueling and energy balance matter during a training block too. The related calculators below can help you plan that alongside your AFT goals.
Body composition and the AFT in 2026
Body composition is a separate requirement from the AFT. In July 2026 the Army replaced its height and weight screening tables and the circumference-based tape test with a waist-to-height ratio. Soldiers must now measure below 0.55, with the waist measured at the navel. A soldier who is 70 inches tall, for example, needs a waist under 38.5 inches. The quick check in the tools above runs that calculation for you.
Body fat percentage is still a useful training metric even though it is no longer the Army’s compliance test. To track it while you prepare for the AFT, use our Army Body Fat Calculator, which applies the Army circumference method used before July 2026. For a detailed percentage breakdown, the Army Body Fat Percentage Calculator shows where you sit against the former Army limits for your age. To compare with the screening tables the Army used until mid-2026, for example on older records, use the Army Height and Weight Calculator.

AFT calculator FAQ
You need at least 60 points in each of the five events. Soldiers in combat-enabling specialties also need a total of 300 out of 500 on the age- and sex-normed General standard. Soldiers in the 21 combat MOSs need a total of 350 on the sex-neutral, age-normed Combat standard.
Each event is scored from 0 to 100 using the official AFT scoring scales for your age group and scoring column. You earn the highest point value your result meets: at or above the listed value for the deadlift, push-ups, and plank, and at or below the listed time for the sprint-drag-carry and 2-mile run. The five event scores are added for a total out of 500.
The Combat standard applies to soldiers in 21 combat military occupational specialties. It is sex-neutral and age-normed, so every soldier is scored on the same M|C column for their age group. It requires 60 points per event and 350 total. It took effect on 1 January 2026 for the active component and 1 June 2026 for the Reserve and National Guard.
You fail the test, even if your total is above 300 or 350. Every event has its own 60-point minimum, so a strong total cannot make up for one weak event. The calculator flags any event under 60 in red and shows the result you need to pass it.
Any score that meets your standard passes, but higher scores matter for promotion and for staying clear of the Combat standard. A total above 400 puts you comfortably past both the 300 and 350 lines, and 500 is the maximum. The AFT general score is used for promotion points, with up to 120 promotion points available for the fitness category.
The AFT uses ten age groups: 17–21, 22–26, 27–31, 32–36, 37–41, 42–46, 47–51, 52–56, 57–61, and 62 and over. Use your age on the day of the test. Enter your age in the calculator and it selects the right group automatically.
Yes. The plank uses identical times for men and women within each age group. For ages 17–21, 60 points requires a 1:30 hold and 100 points requires 3:40. From age 37 upward, the range is 1:10 to 3:20.
The AFT replaced the six-event ACFT on 1 June 2025. The standing power throw was removed, which cut the test to five events and the maximum score from 600 to 500. The Army also released new scoring tables and created a separate, sex-neutral Combat standard for combat MOSs.
Soldiers with a permanent profile that prevents the 2-mile run can take the 2.5-mile walk, 12 km bike, 1 km swim, or 5 km row. These are scored GO or NO-GO. You receive a GO by finishing at or under the time for your age group and scoring column.
According to the Army, combat specialty soldiers on a profile must average 70 points across the events they can take and pass the alternate aerobic event if one is required. With four scored events, that means at least 280 points and at least 60 in each event, plus a GO on the alternate event.
No. Body composition is a separate requirement. Since July 2026 the Army has used a waist-to-height ratio, with soldiers required to measure below 0.55 at the navel. The waist-to-height check on this page shows your ratio and the maximum waist that meets the standard at your height.
