Introduction

The ACFT Calculator helps you score your Army Combat Fitness Test in seconds. Just enter your results for all six events — the 3-Rep Max Deadlift, Standing Power Throw, 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. 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 is the official fitness test for all U.S. Army soldiers. It replaced the old APFT and uses six events to measure your strength, power, and endurance. Each event is scored from 0 to 100 points, so the highest total score you can get is 600. You need to meet a minimum score on every single event and hit a minimum total score to pass.

This tool uses the official Army scoring tables from FM 7-22. 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. If you're also preparing for the Air Force fitness assessment, check out our Air Force PT Calculator.

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. General standards are gender-normed with a 360-point minimum.

Age Group: Select the age range that matches your current age, from 17–21 up to 62 and older. If you need to quickly figure out your exact age from your date of birth, our Age Calculator can help.

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. If you want to estimate your deadlift max from a different rep range, try our 1RM Calculator.

Standing Power Throw (SPT): Enter your best throw distance in meters. You can use one decimal place, like 6.5.

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. You can use our Time Duration Calculator if you need to convert between different time formats.

Two-Mile Run (2MR): Enter your run time in minutes and seconds. A faster time earns more points. To dial in your training pace, try our Running Pace Calculator or Pace Calculator.

What Is the ACFT?

The ACFT stands for Army Combat Fitness Test. It is the official fitness test used by the U.S. Army to measure how strong and fit a soldier is. The ACFT replaced the old APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) and became the standard test for all soldiers in 2022. Every soldier must pass this test to stay in good standing.

The 6 ACFT Events

The ACFT has six events that test different parts of your body and fitness:

  • 3-Rep Max Deadlift (MDL) – Lift the heaviest weight you can for three reps. This tests your leg and back strength. Planning your training loads? Our 1RM Calculator can help you estimate your one-rep max from any rep count.
  • 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. A faster time means a better score. You can use our Running Pace Calculator to plan your mile splits, or check out the VO2 Max Calculator to gauge your aerobic fitness level.

How ACFT Scoring Works

Each event is scored from 0 to 100 points. Your total score adds up all six events for a maximum of 600 points. 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. You need at least 60 points per event and 360 points total.
  • MOS Physical Demand Categories – Some Army jobs require higher scores. Heavy and Significant demand jobs need 440 total points with 65 or 70 points per event.

How to Use This Calculator

Pick your scoring standard, age group, and 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.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good ACFT score?

A score of 500 or above out of 600 is considered a good ACFT score. A perfect score is 600, which means you got 100 points on every event. Most soldiers aim for at least 80 points per event. A score above 450 shows solid fitness across all six events.

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?

For the Combat standard, you need at least 60 points on each event. For the General standard, you also need 60 per event. If your MOS has a Heavy physical demand category, you need 70 per event. Significant demand requires 65 per event.

What is the difference between Combat and General scoring?

The Combat standard is gender-neutral. Everyone uses the same scoring table and needs 350 total points. The General standard is gender-normed, meaning males and females have different scoring tables. The General standard requires 360 total points.

Does my age affect my ACFT score?

Your age group is recorded for context, but the ACFT scoring tables are the same for all age groups. Unlike the old APFT, the ACFT does not adjust point values based on your age.

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?

The slowest two-mile run time that earns any points is about 25 minutes and 22 seconds (1,522 seconds). If you run slower than that, you score 0 points. You need a much faster time to reach the 60-point minimum for passing.

How is the Standing Power Throw measured?

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 must take the ACFT at least twice per year. Your unit may schedule it more often. 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.

Is this calculator accurate to the official Army scoring?

Yes. This calculator uses the official scoring tables from FM 7-22, the Army's fitness manual. Points are calculated using the same anchors and ranges the Army uses. Results match what a grader would score on test day.

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.

How do I enter time for the Sprint-Drag-Carry?

Enter the minutes in the first box and the seconds in the second box. For example, if your time is 2 minutes and 15 seconds, type 2 in the minutes box and 15 in the seconds box. You can also drag the slider to set your time.
