Introduction

The ACFT Calculator scores your Army Combat Fitness Test. Just enter your results for the five AFT events (the 3-Rep Max Deadlift, Hand-Release Push-Up, Sprint-Drag-Carry, Plank, and Two-Mile Run), and the calculator will show your points for each event and your total score. The six-event ACFT it replaced is kept as a legacy option. It tells you right away if you pass or fail based on the scoring standard you pick: Combat, General Male, or General Female.

The ACFT was the Army's fitness test until the Army Fitness Test (AFT) replaced it. The Army's AFT score tables were approved on 15 May 2025 and took effect on 1 June 2025; they cover five events and drop the Standing Power Throw.1 This calculator scores the AFT from those tables and keeps the six-event ACFT as a legacy option. Each AFT event is scored from 0 to 100 points, so the highest total is 500. Army Directive 2025-06 made the AFT the test of record on 1 June 2025, with a sex-neutral, age-normed combat standard of 60 points per event and 350 in total for the listed combat specialties and a general standard of 60 points per event for everyone else.3 You need to meet a minimum score on every single event and hit a minimum total score to pass.

The legacy ACFT option uses approximate anchors between the published ACFT score levels. You can also set your MOS physical demand category (Heavy, Significant, or Moderate) to see if you meet the higher standards your job requires. The results update instantly with a full breakdown, a bar chart, and a clear pass or fail status for each event.

How to Use Our ACFT Calculator

Enter your scoring standard, age group, and performance for each of the six ACFT events. The calculator will show your points per event, total score, and whether you pass or fail.

Scoring Standard: Pick Combat, General Male, or General Female. Combat uses gender-neutral rules with a 350-point minimum. Under the AFT the general standard is sex- and age-normed at 60 points per event.3 Army Directive 2026-07 later added 12D, 89D and 89E to the combat specialties.4

Age Group: Select the age range that matches your current age, from 17–21 up to 62 and older.

MOS Physical Demand: If your job has a specific physical demand category, choose Heavy, Significant, or Moderate. Otherwise, leave it on the default setting.

3-Rep Max Deadlift (MDL): Enter the total weight in pounds you lifted for three reps. Use the slider or type the number directly.

Standing Power Throw (SPT, legacy ACFT only): Enter your best throw distance in meters. You can use one decimal place, like 6.5. The AFT has no throw event.

Hand Release Push-Up (HRP): Enter the total number of correct reps you completed.

Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC): Enter your finish time in minutes and seconds. A lower time earns more points.

Plank (PLK): Enter how long you held the plank in minutes and seconds. A longer hold earns more points.

Two-Mile Run (2MR): Enter your run time in minutes and seconds. A faster time earns more points.

What Is the ACFT?

The ACFT stands for Army Combat Fitness Test. It replaced the old APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) and became the standard test for all soldiers in 2022. It has itself been succeeded by the Army Fitness Test, whose score tables took effect on 1 June 2025 with five events.1 Soldiers now test under the AFT; this page remains for scoring ACFT records.

The AFT Events (and the Legacy ACFT)

The AFT has five events; the ACFT it replaced had these six, the Standing Power Throw being the one dropped:

  • 3-Rep Max Deadlift (MDL) – Lift the heaviest weight you can for three reps. This tests your leg and back strength.
  • Standing Power Throw (SPT) – Throw a 10-pound medicine ball backward over your head as far as you can. This tests explosive power.
  • Hand Release Push-Up (HRP) – Do as many push-ups as you can in two minutes, lifting your hands off the ground at the bottom of each rep. This tests upper body strength and endurance.
  • Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC) – A shuttle run where you sprint, drag a sled, carry kettlebells, and sprint again. This tests speed, agility, and total body strength. A faster time means a better score.
  • Plank (PLK) – Hold a plank position for as long as you can up to 3 minutes and 40 seconds. This tests your core strength.
  • Two-Mile Run (2MR) – Run two miles as fast as you can. This tests your cardio endurance, the aerobic fitness level measured by a VO2 max. A faster time means a better score.

How ACFT Scoring Works

Each event is scored from 0 to 100 points. Your AFT total adds up the five events for a maximum of 500 points; the legacy ACFT summed six for 600. There are different scoring standards based on your situation:

  • Combat Standard (Gender-Neutral) – You need at least 60 points per event and 350 points total to pass.
  • General Standard (Gender-Normed) – Scoring tables differ for males and females. Under the AFT general standard you need at least 60 points per event.3 Five events at 60 make 300 points.
  • MOS Physical Demand Categories – Some Army jobs require higher scores. The legacy ACFT also had Heavy and Significant demand categories needing 440 total points with 65 or 70 points per event.

How to Use This Calculator

Pick the test (the AFT, or the legacy ACFT), your scoring standard and age group, and for the legacy ACFT the MOS demand category if it applies. Then enter your performance for each event using the sliders or number inputs. For timed events, enter minutes and seconds. The calculator instantly shows your points for each event, your total score, and whether you pass or fail. The chart and table at the bottom give you a clear breakdown of your results.

Beyond ACFT scoring, keeping track of your overall fitness metrics can help you train smarter. Soldiers must also meet the Army's body composition standard, which Army Directive 2026-13 set as a waist-to-height ratio below 0.55 in place of the old weight tables and tape test.2 The Army body fat page describes the earlier method.


Formulas used

Event Score (AFT: score-table lookup; legacy ACFT: linear interpolation between anchors)
\text{pts}_{\text{AFT}} = P_i \text{ of the highest table row met}, \qquad \text{pts}_{\text{ACFT}} = p_i + \frac{x - x_i}{x_{i+1} - x_i} \times (p_{i+1} - p_i)
Event Score Clamping
\text{pts}_{\text{final}} = \max\!\bigl(0,\;\min(100,\;\lfloor \text{pts} + 0.5 \rfloor)\bigr)
Total Score
S_{\text{total}} = \sum_i \text{pts}_i \quad (\max = 500 \text{ on the AFT}, 600 \text{ on the legacy ACFT})
Overall Pass Condition
\text{Pass} \iff S_{\text{total}} \ge T_{\text{total}} \;\wedge\; \forall\, i:\; \text{pts}_i \ge T_{\text{event}}

Frequently asked questions

What is a good ACFT score?

A perfect AFT score is 500, which means 100 points on every one of the five events. Most soldiers aim for at least 80 points per event, so 400 or more shows solid fitness across the test. On the legacy six-event ACFT the equivalent figures were 600 and 480.

What happens if I fail one event but pass the rest?

You fail the entire ACFT. You must meet the minimum point requirement on every single event to pass. Even if your total score is high enough, failing one event means you do not pass the test.

How many points do I need per event to pass?

Under both AFT standards you need at least 60 points on each event, and combat specialties also need 350 in total.3 The legacy ACFT's Heavy and Significant demand categories asked for 70 or 65 per event.

What is the difference between Combat and General scoring?

The AFT combat standard is sex-neutral and age-normed: Soldiers in the listed combat specialties score on one column and need 60 points per event and 350 in total.3 The general standard uses the male or female column with 60 points per event, which makes 300 in total across five events.

Does my age affect my ACFT score?

Yes. The AFT score tables are age-normed, with columns from 17 to 21 up to over 62 for every event.1 The legacy ACFT anchors in this calculator are not age-adjusted.

How do I know my MOS physical demand category?

Your unit or MOS assignment determines your physical demand category. There are three levels: Heavy (Black), Significant (Gray), and Moderate (Gold). Check with your chain of command or look up your MOS in the Army's official physical demand tables.

What is the maximum time allowed for the plank?

The maximum plank time that counts for scoring is 3 minutes and 40 seconds (220 seconds). Holding the plank longer than that does not earn extra points. You get 100 points at or near this time depending on your scoring standard.

What is the maximum time for the two-mile run?

It depends on your age group and sex. In the AFT tables a man aged 17 to 21 needs 19:57 or faster for the 60-point minimum, and a woman over 62 needs 25:00.1 Slower than the last row of your column scores 0 points.

How is the Standing Power Throw measured?

The Standing Power Throw is not part of the AFT and survives here only in the legacy ACFT option. You throw a 10-pound medicine ball backward over your head. The distance is measured in meters from the start line to where the ball lands. You get two attempts and your best throw counts. Enter the distance with one decimal place, like 7.2.

Can I retake the ACFT if I fail?

Yes. If you fail, your commander will set a date for you to retake the test. You typically get time to train and improve before retesting. The exact timeline depends on your unit's policy and the reason for failure.

How often do soldiers take the ACFT?

Soldiers took the ACFT at least twice per year. The Army Fitness Test has since replaced it.1 A passing ACFT score is required for promotions, school attendance, and other career milestones.

What weight increments are used for the deadlift?

The 3-Rep Max Deadlift uses 10-pound increments. The minimum weight is 60 pounds and the maximum is 340 pounds. You load the hex bar to the weight you want to attempt and perform three full repetitions.

What replaced the leg tuck on the ACFT?

The Plank (PLK) replaced the Leg Tuck as the core strength event. The Leg Tuck was removed because many soldiers struggled with it. The Plank is now the only option for the core event on the ACFT.
