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

Background.

Four perfect events and a 59 on the two-mile run add up to 459 points out of a possible 500, and that Army Fitness Test card is a failure. The AFT has two gates, and the one that catches people is not the total. Every Soldier, under either standard, must score at least 60 points on each of the five events; Soldiers in combat specialties must also reach 350 points in total.

The AFT has been the Army's fitness test of record since 1 June 2025, when it replaced the Army Combat Fitness Test. Many people still search for an ACFT calculator; the test they are actually scored on is this one, with five events instead of six. Each event's raw performance — pounds lifted, repetitions, a time — becomes a scaled score from 0 to 100 through conversion tables banded by age and, on the general standard, by sex. Those tables are published on the Army's AFT website rather than in any regulation, and converting raw performance is the step left to you: enter the five scaled scores from your DA Form 705-TEST scorecard or from the tables, and the pass rules of Army Directive 2025-06, AR 350-1 and ATP 7-22.01 are applied to them.

You get the total, the average per event, your weakest event, how many events fell under 60, the benchmark total for your standard and your margin over it, and a verdict that names which gate decided it. That last detail matters for training. A card that passes by eight points on the total but by three points on the run has one clear priority.

Two cases sit outside the calculation. Soldiers whose permanent profile removes events are judged against a scaled threshold, and an alternate aerobic event taken in place of the run is pass-or-fail rather than scored. The result is an unofficial check; the scorecard your grader signs is the record.

What is aft score calculator?

The Army Fitness Test is the U.S. Army's physical fitness test of record, established by Army Directive 2025-06 of 17 April 2025. It keeps the ACFT's deadlift, push-up, sprint-drag-carry, plank and run, drops the Standing Power Throw, and takes the five events on one day in a fixed order: 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 is scored from 0 to 100 points, for a maximum of 500.

There are two standards. The general standard, normed by sex and age, covers every Soldier outside the combat specialties and has applied to all components since 1 June 2025; it requires at least 60 points on every event. The combat standard is sex-neutral and normed by age only. It requires at least 60 points on every event and an overall minimum of 350, which AR 350-1 expresses as an average of 70 points across the events taken. It became binding on 1 January 2026 for the Regular Army, the Active Guard Reserve and Reserve Component Soldiers on active-duty orders of more than 60 days, and on 1 June 2026 for the rest of the Reserve Components.

How to use this calculator.

1. 01Choose your standard under 'Which AFT standard applies to you'. Pick combat only if your AOC or MOS is one of the 24 combat specialties in Army Directive 2026-07, Enclosure 2; every other Soldier is on the general standard, whatever the unit.
2. 02Find your five scaled scores: the points your grader wrote on DA Form 705-TEST, or the values from the AFT event score conversion tables at army.mil/aft for your age and sex. Enter points, not pounds, repetitions or times.
3. 03Type the deadlift, push-up, sprint-drag-carry, plank and run scores as whole numbers from 0 to 100.
4. 04Read the verdict and the lowest event score together. A FAIL names either the number of events under 60 or, on the combat standard, a total under 350.
5. 05Use the margin to plan training. On the combat standard it shows how far the total sits above or below 350; on the general standard it is measured against the 300 implied by five events at 60 and does not decide the result.
6. 06To test a plan, enter the events you have done and try different values in the remaining field until the verdict changes.

The formula.

The scoring is a sum and up to two comparisons. The total is MDL + HRP + SDC + PLK + 2MR, out of 500, and the average is that total divided by 5. The per-event gate is checked first: if any of the five scores is under 60, the card fails under either standard, because AR 350-1 states that failure of one or more events is AFT failure. Only when all five clear 60 does the combat standard apply its second gate, a total of at least 350. Scaled scores are whole points, so the comparisons are exact: 349 fails the combat total and 350 passes it.

The general standard has no total requirement in any of the three governing documents; each states only the 60-point minimum per event. The 300 that circulates as a general-standard pass mark is 5 × 60, the smallest total a passing card can have. It is shown as the benchmark for reference, while the verdict rests on the event minimum alone.

The two gates interact predictably. On the combat standard, if your first four events add up to 290 or more, the fifth needs only the 60-point minimum, because 290 + 60 = 350. Below 290 the total becomes the binding requirement, and the fifth event needs 350 minus the sum of the first four. AR 350-1 phrases the combat standard as an average of 70 so that it scales for Soldiers whose permanent profile removes events: 280 points for four events, 210 for three, 140 for two and 70 for one. Only a full five-event card is scored here, so those thresholds have to be checked by hand.
