AFT Score Calculator — the Army Fitness Test That Replaced the ACFT

Background.

This page scores a completed five-event Army Fitness Test card against the standard that actually applies to you, and it starts one step later than most calculators of its kind: you enter the five scaled scores, 0 to 100 points each, and it applies the published pass rules. It does not turn a deadlift weight, a repetition count or a run time into points. That is deliberate, and the reason is worth stating before you read any number. ATP 7-22.01, the Army's own testing doctrine, says at paragraph 2-30 that to convert raw scores to scaled scores you must "refer to the AFT event score conversion tables posted to the AFT website at https://www.army.mil/aft". Those tables are not printed in any Army regulation, pamphlet or techniques publication. Rather than reproduce numbers from a source we could not verify, this page takes the points from your DA Form 705-TEST scorecard — or from that website — and does the part that regulation does define precisely.

Start with the name, because it is the most common thing people get wrong right now. The Army Combat Fitness Test no longer exists. Army Directive 2025-06, signed 17 April 2025, states in paragraph 4a that "the AFT replaces the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) on 1 June 2025" and that "the Army will no longer conduct the ACFT after 31 May 2025". ACFT for-record tests taken before that date remain valid, but no ACFT has been administered since. The successor, the Army Fitness Test, dropped the Standing Power Throw and keeps five events performed in sequence: the 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift, the Hand-Release Push-Up, the Sprint-Drag-Carry, the Plank and the 2-Mile Run. If you are searching for an ACFT calculator, this is the test you are almost certainly being scored on.

There are two standards, and which one you are held to depends on your area of concentration or military occupational specialty, not on your unit or your preference. The general standard is performance-normed by sex and age and has applied to every component since 1 June 2025: you must attain at least 60 points on each event. The combat standard is sex-neutral and age-normed: at least 60 points on every event and an overall minimum score of 350. It became binding on 1 January 2026 for the Regular Army, Active Guard Reserve and Reserve Component Soldiers on active-duty orders longer than 60 days, and on 1 June 2026 for all other Reserve Component Soldiers, so it is now live across the force. Both standards appear in identical terms in three separate primary documents — Army Directive 2025-06 paragraph 4b, AR 350-1 Appendix C paragraph C-5, and ATP 7-22.01 paragraph 2-30 — which is why this page states them as fact rather than as a best guess.

One precision point that circulates wrongly almost everywhere. The general standard has no total-score requirement. Not one of those three sources states a minimum total for it; all three state only the per-event minimum. The widely quoted figure of 300 is simply five events multiplied by sixty points, and it is a consequence of the rule rather than a second rule. The practical difference matters: a Soldier on the general standard who scores 100, 100, 100, 100 and 59 has a total of 459 and fails, because one event is below 60. This calculator therefore reports 300 as an implied floor, clearly labelled, and decides a general-standard pass on the event minimum alone. Under the combat standard the 350 total is a genuine second gate, stated in so many words, and a card of 60 points on every event totals 300 and fails on it.

Here is the shipped example, worked through. An infantry Soldier — 11B, so the combat standard — records 82 on the deadlift, 71 on the push-up, 68 on the sprint-drag-carry, 74 on the plank and 63 on the two-mile run. Those add to 358, an average of 71.6 points per event. The lowest event is the run at 63, which clears the 60-point minimum by three points, and the total clears 350 by eight. The card passes. It also passes the general standard, with a margin of 58 points against the implied 300 floor. Notice how thin both margins are, and notice that the two gates fail independently and in opposite directions. Losing eight points on the deadlift takes the total to exactly 350 and the card still passes, because 74 points on that event is nowhere near the 60-point floor. Losing only four points on the run takes it to 59 and the card fails outright, even though the total would still be 354 — comfortably above 350. The gate that bites is almost never the one people train for.

Two things this page will not do for you. It scores a full five-event card only. Soldiers with a permanent profile take every event their profile permits, and AR 350-1 scales the combat threshold with the number of events taken — 280 points for four events, 210 for three, 140 for two, 70 for one, all of which is the same average of 70 points per event. But if a permanent profile prohibits the 2-Mile Run, the substitute is one of four alternate aerobic events (5,000-metre row, 12,000-metre stationary bike, 1,000-metre swim, 2.5-mile walk), and ATP 7-22.01 paragraph 2-87 makes those pass or fail against the 60-point time standard for your age and sex rather than scoring them out of 100. A card containing an alternate aerobic event cannot be totalled the way this page totals one, so it is out of scope rather than approximated.

And it says nothing about your body composition, which is now a completely separate question with a completely separate answer. Army Directive 2026-13, dated 1 July 2026, made waist-to-height ratio the sole Army Body Composition Program standard and rescinded the tape test and every other body-fat assessment method. Paragraph 5a(7) of that directive is blunt: "No AFT score exempts a Soldier from meeting the WHtR standard", and it rescinded the directive that used to grant such an exemption. Paragraph 5a(6) also asks commanders to leave at least seven days between an AFT and a waist-to-height measurement. If you came here looking for the old "score 540 and skip the tape" rule, it is gone.

Finally, treat every figure on this page as dated. The Army changed its fitness test of record in 2020, again in 2022, and again in 2025, and it changed its body-composition standard in 2023, 2025 and twice in 2026. The standards quoted here are those in force as of 29 July 2026, taken from documents marked ACTIVE in the Army Publishing Directorate index on that date. Before anything rides on the number — a promotion packet, a school seat, a reclassification — check it against the current AR 350-1 and the AFT website, and against the scorecard your grader signed.

What is aft score calculator?

The Army Fitness Test (AFT) is the U.S. Army's physical fitness test of record. It was established by Army Directive 2025-06 on 17 April 2025 and replaced the Army Combat Fitness Test on 1 June 2025, removing the Standing Power Throw event that the ACFT had carried. The AFT has five events, conducted on the same day and in sequence: the 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift (MDL), the Hand-Release Push-Up (HRP), the Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC), the Plank (PLK) and the 2-Mile Run (2MR). Each event is converted to a scaled score of 0 to 100 points using age- and sex-banded conversion tables published on the Army Fitness Test website, and the five scaled scores are recorded on DA Form 705-TEST and in the Army Training Information System. Two standards exist. The AFT general standard is performance-normed by sex and age and requires at least 60 points on every event; it has applied to all components since 1 June 2025. The AFT combat standard is sex-neutral and age-normed and requires at least 60 points on every event plus an overall minimum of 350 points; it applies to Soldiers serving in the combat specialties listed in Army Directive 2026-07, Enclosure 2, and became binding on 1 January 2026 for the Regular Army, Active Guard Reserve and Reserve Component Soldiers on active-duty orders longer than 60 days, and on 1 June 2026 for all other Reserve Component Soldiers. AR 350-1, Appendix C, paragraph C-5f(2) expresses the combat threshold as "an average of 70 points or higher" across the events a Soldier is authorised to take, which on a full five-event card is exactly 350 points. The AFT is a fitness test only. Since Army Directive 2026-13 of 1 July 2026, body composition is assessed separately by waist-to-height ratio, and no AFT score exempts a Soldier from that standard.

How to use this calculator.

1. 01Pick your standard. Choose the combat standard only if your AOC or MOS is one of the 24 combat specialties listed in Army Directive 2026-07, Enclosure 2 — the 11-, 18- and 19-series, 12A, 12B, 12D, 13A, 13F, 180A, 89D and 89E. Everyone else takes the general standard.
2. 02Get your five scaled scores. They are the 0–100 point values from the official AFT event score conversion tables at army.mil/aft, or the numbers your grader wrote on your DA Form 705-TEST scorecard. This page needs points, not pounds, repetitions or times.
3. 03Enter the deadlift, push-up, sprint-drag-carry, plank and 2-mile run scores in the five fields. Whole numbers only — the conversion tables emit whole points.
4. 04Read the total first, then immediately read the lowest event score beside it. A high total does not save a card with one event under 60.
5. 05Check the verdict line. It names the gate that decided the outcome, so you know whether to train the weakest event or the overall total.
6. 06Use the benchmark and margin tiles to see how many points you are above or below the total for your standard — 350 under the combat standard, or the 300 implied by five events at sixty points each under the general standard. A positive margin is not a pass on its own; the verdict tile is the outcome.
7. 07If a permanent profile means you took fewer than five events, or an alternate aerobic event instead of the run, do not use this page — AR 350-1 scales the combat threshold to 280, 210, 140 or 70 points for four, three, two or one event, and alternate aerobic events are pass/fail rather than scored.
8. 08Verify anything consequential against the current AR 350-1, ATP 7-22.01 and the AFT website before it goes into a promotion packet or an evaluation.

The formula.

The arithmetic is a sum and two comparisons; the care is in which comparison governs. Add the five scaled scores to get the total, out of a maximum of 500. Take the smallest of the five, because both standards fail the entire card if any single event is below 60 points — AR 350-1, Appendix C, paragraph C-5f(1) puts it as "failure of one or more events results in AFT failure". Then, and only under the combat standard, compare the total against 350. Under the general standard there is no total to compare against: the per-event minimum is the whole rule, and the 300 this page displays is 5 × 60, shown so you can see where the widely repeated figure comes from. ROUNDING STAGE: there is no intermediate rounding anywhere in this calculation. Scaled scores are whole points by construction, so the total and the lowest event score are exact integers and the average is exact to one decimal place; every value is carried at full precision and rounded once, at the return boundary. Both threshold comparisons are made on exact values rather than on displayed values, so no boundary is ever crossed by rounding — 349 is a combat-standard failure, 350 is a pass, and a card that displays as 350 is 350. Working the shipped example: 82 + 71 = 153, + 68 = 221, + 74 = 295, + 63 = 358. The total is 358 and the average is 358 ÷ 5 = 71.6 points per event. The smallest of {82, 71, 68, 74, 63} is 63, which is 3 points above the 60-point minimum, so zero events are below minimum. Under the combat standard the required total is 350 and the margin is 358 − 350 = +8, so the card passes on both gates. Under the general standard the required total displayed is 300 and the margin is 358 − 300 = +58, but the pass was decided by the event minimum, not by that margin. Three boundary cases show the gates working independently: 70/70/70/70/69 totals 349 and fails the combat standard on the total while every event clears 60; 60/60/60/60/60 totals exactly 300, passes the general standard and fails the combat standard by 50 points; and 100/100/100/100/59 totals 459 and fails both standards on a single event.
