ACFT Calculator

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 scores the six events from the Army's 2022 ACFT score tables. 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 event: five for the AFT, or six for the legacy ACFT. 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.

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.⁵ 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).⁵ Regular Army and Active Guard Reserve Soldiers began taking it for record on 1 October 2022.⁶ 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, and Soldiers in combat specialties also take the pass or fail Combat Field Test.⁴ This calculator scores the AFT and keeps the ACFT as a legacy option.

The AFT Events (and the Legacy ACFT)

The AFT has five events. The ACFT it replaced had six: these five and the Standing Power Throw.⁵

• 3-Rep Max Deadlift (MDL) – Lift the heaviest weight you can for three reps. This tests your leg and back strength.⁵
• Standing Power Throw (SPT) – Throw a 10-pound medicine ball backward over your head as far as you can.⁵ This tests explosive power.
• Hand Release Push-Up (HRP) – Do as many push-ups as you can in two minutes, moving your arms straight out to the sides at the bottom of each rep.⁵ This tests upper body strength and endurance.
• Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC) – Five 50-meter shuttles for time: a sprint, a sled drag, a lateral, a kettlebell carry and a final sprint.⁵ 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. In the AFT tables a hold of 3:40 earns 100 points at ages 17 to 21, and 3:20 earns 100 points from age 37.¹ 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.
• Legacy ACFT – Every Soldier needed at least 60 points on each event and 360 points in total to pass, out of a possible 600.⁵ Its score tables were normed by age and sex.⁷

How to Use This Calculator

Pick the test (the AFT, or the legacy ACFT), your scoring standard and age group. The legacy ACFT option scores on the male or female column. 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.
