The Army Fitness Test is the official physical fitness assessment for all Soldiers, effective June 1, 2025. It replaced the ACFT and dropped the Standing Power Throw due to injury concerns. What remains are five events that measure what actually matters in the field: the 3-Rep Max Deadlift, Hand-Release Push-Ups, Sprint-Drag-Carry, Plank, and Two-Mile Run. These events test your strength, endurance, agility, and cardio, the same physical demands you face during training and deployment.
There are two scoring standards. If you hold one of the 21 combat MOSs (Infantry, Armor, Special Forces, Combat Engineers, and others), you need 350 total points with at least 60 per event. This standard is sex-neutral, meaning the same numbers apply regardless of gender. Everyone else follows the General standard: 300 total points with 60 per event, scored by age and gender. No administrative actions for AFT failures kick in until January 2026 for Active Duty or June 2026 for Reserve and Guard, so you have time to prepare.
This AFT calculator lets you plug in your current performance numbers and instantly see where you stand. No guessing, no flipping through scoring tables. You get your points for each event plus your total, so you know exactly which areas need work before test day.

How to Use This Calculator
Step 1: Pick Your Scoring Standard
Select “Combat” if your MOS is one of the 21 combat specialties. Otherwise, choose “General (Male)” or “General (Female)” based on your gender. Combat and General (Male) use the same scoring tables—the difference is the total points required to pass.
Step 2: Select Your Age Group
Choose the bracket that matches your age on test day. The AFT adjusts expectations based on age, so an older Soldier isn’t held to the same run time as someone fresh out of Basic.
Step 3: Enter Your Numbers
For each event, slide the bar or type in your performance. Deadlift is in pounds, push-ups are total reps in two minutes, and the timed events (Sprint-Drag-Carry, Plank, Two-Mile Run) are in minutes and seconds. The score updates instantly as you adjust.
Step 4: Check Your Results
Look at the bottom panel. You’ll see your total score out of 500 and whether you meet Combat Ready (350+), General Ready (300+), or fall below standard. The breakdown shows each event score so you can spot weak points fast.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the minimum I need to pass?
You need at least 60 points on every event. If even one event drops below 60, you fail the test regardless of your total. For the overall score, General standard requires 300 total, Combat standard requires 350.
My MOS isn’t combat. Do I still need 350?
No. The 350-point sex-neutral standard only applies to the 21 designated combat MOSs. Everyone else follows the General standard at 300 points.
How often do I have to take the AFT?
Active Duty Soldiers take a record test twice a year. Reserve and National Guard take it once a year.
What if I fail?
You’ll get support and training resources, then retest within 90 days (Active Duty/AGR) or 180 days (Reserve/Guard). Two consecutive record failures can lead to separation, but the Army gives you tools to improve before it comes to that.
Can I use this calculator for official scoring?
This calculator follows the official AFT scoring tables. Use it to track progress and identify weaknesses. Your official score comes from the actual test administered by your unit.
Does scoring 465+ really exempt me from body fat standards?
Yes. Soldiers who score 465 or higher on the AFT are exempt from body composition requirements. That’s a solid goal if tape tests have been an issue for you.
Use this calculator regularly, not just before test day. Knowing your numbers helps you train smarter and show up ready.
