Army Fitness Test (AFT) Score Calculator

How Army Fitness Test scoring works

This free calculator is for soldiers, recruits and anyone preparing for Army service. It estimates your AFT score from your five event results. No sign-up is needed, and it runs entirely in your browser.

What is the Army Fitness Test?

The Army Fitness Test, known as the AFT, is the United States Army fitness test introduced in 2022 to replace the older Army Physical Fitness Test. It has five events that measure strength, power, endurance and speed. Soldiers take it to show they are ready for the physical demands of Army service.

How is each AFT event scored?

Each of the five events is scored from 0 to 100 points, so the highest possible total is 500 points. A score of 60 points is the minimum passing score for each event. This calculator finds your points by linear interpolation between the 60 point standard and the 100 point standard for your age group and gender.

The five events are the 3-rep max deadlift, the standing power throw, hand-release push-ups in 2 minutes, the sprint-drag-carry, and either a 2-mile run or a plank hold. The table below shows the maximum standards for men aged 17 to 21, which are the starting anchors used by this calculator.

What score do you need to pass the AFT?

You need at least 300 points in total and at least 60 points in every single event to pass. A high total does not save a failed event, so a soldier who scores 90 points in four events but only 50 in the fifth still fails. The calculator shows your total and flags any event below 60 points.

How accurate is this calculator?

This calculator is an estimate, and the official AFT scoring tables published by the US Army govern your real result. The anchors for ages 17 to 21 use the published 2022 standards, while older age groups use a simple approximation that lowers the top standard by about 5 percent per age group. Always confirm your score with an official scorer.

For older age groups, this calculator scales the maximum anchors down by about 5 percent per age group, and it scales the timed standards slower by about 5 percent per age group. That scaling is a simple approximation, not the official table, so treat scores for older soldiers as a rough guide only.

How can you improve your AFT score?

Train each event separately, because a weak event can fail you even when your total is strong. Build deadlift strength with progressive lifting, practise the power throw and push up form, and train sprint intervals for the sprint drag carry. Add regular running or plank holds, depending on which endurance event you choose.
