AFT Calculator 2026: Army Fitness Test Score and Pass/Fail
This AFT calculator turns your five Army Fitness Test results into points per event, a total and a pass or fail for combat and combat enabling specialties, using the score tables the Army approved on 15 May 2025 (effective 1 June 2025). Army Directive 2025-06 says: "The AFT replaces the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) on 1 June 2025." So use this page if you were looking for an ACFT calculator. The score chart and the standards page show the same tables in full.

Your AFT results
ATP 7-22.01 paragraph 2-82: “Alternate aerobic endurance test events are not authorized for Soldiers on temporary profiles.”
The starting numbers are an example, not a goal. Replace them with your results.
Points, total and pass/fail
Age group 22-26, M|C column
Total 406 of 500
Meets the standard
Events taken: Max Deadlift (MDL), Hand-release Push-up (HRP), Sprint / Drag / Carry (SDC), Plank (PLK), Two-Mile Run (2MR).
The rule used: “Combat enabling specialties: Maintains sex- and age-normed scoring that requires a total score of 300.”
The rule used: “The AFT general standard is performance-normed by sex and age. Soldiers serving in all AOCs/MOSs not listed in paragraph 4b(1) of this directive must attain a score of at least 60 points per event.”
| Event | Your result | Points | Worth 60 points | Worth 100 points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max Deadlift (MDL) | 250 | 81 | 150 | 350 |
| Hand-release Push-up (HRP) | 40 | 83 | 14 | 61 |
| Sprint / Drag / Carry (SDC) | 1:55 | 78 | 2:31 | 1:30 |
| Plank (PLK) | 2:30 | 80 | 1:25 | 3:35 |
| Two-Mile Run (2MR) | 16:30 | 84 | 19:45 | 13:25 |
Passing standards the calculator checks
The army.mil Army Fitness Test page states:
“Combat specialties: Introduces one sex-neutral, age-normed standard that requires a total score of 350, with a minimum of 60 points per event.”
“Combat enabling specialties: Maintains sex- and age-normed scoring that requires a total score of 300.”
Army Directive 2025-06 sets the per-event rule for every specialty that is not on the combat list:
“The AFT general standard is performance-normed by sex and age. Soldiers serving in all AOCs/MOSs not listed in paragraph 4b(1) of this directive must attain a score of at least 60 points per event.”
ATP 7-22.01 adds:
“Soldiers who fail to achieve the minimum passing score on any event are considered test failures.”
So the calculator requires at least 60 points on every event under both standards, plus the total of 350 for combat specialties and the total of 300 for combat enabling specialties. Since 5 x 60 = 300, five events at 60 points or more already reach 300.
How the points are worked out
The Army's score tables list, for each point value from 100 down to 0, the raw score that earns it in each age group. The calculator gives a raw score the highest point value whose listed raw score it meets. For pounds, repetitions and plank time that means at or above the listed score; for the sprint/drag/carry and the two-mile run it means at or below the listed time.
- A raw score better than the 100-point row earns 100 points.
- The PDF prints --- where a point value has no distinct raw score in that column. The calculator skips those rows, so a raw score earns the next listed row below.
- A raw score worse than the 0-point row is outside the table. The table shows nothing lower, so the calculator scores it 0 points and marks it.
- The last two columns of the result show the raw score printed for 60 points and for 100 points in your age group and column.
Which column the calculator reads
The PDF has an M|C column and an F column for each age group. army.mil says combat specialties use one sex-neutral, age-normed standard, so the calculator reads the M|C column for every Soldier in a combat specialty. The PDF does not spell out what the "C" stands for; that reading comes from the army.mil wording, which is why it is stated here. For combat enabling specialties, which the page says use sex- and age-normed scoring, a man uses the M|C column and a woman the F column.
“The Army Fitness Test maintains or raises fitness standards for all soldiers, utilizing age-normed scoring to acknowledge the force's demographics and the physiological demands on soldiers throughout their careers.”
Ages 62 and older use the Over 62 column. The PDF prints the groups 57-61 and Over 62, with no separate 62 group.
Worked example from the tables
A 25-year-old man under the combat enabling standard, so the 22-26 age group and the M|C column. The calculator's opening numbers are this example, and each line below is read from the Army's table.
| Event | Result | Points | Raw score printed for those points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max Deadlift (MDL) | 250 | 81 | 250 |
| Hand-release Push-up (HRP) | 40 | 83 | 40 |
| Sprint / Drag / Carry (SDC) | 1:55 | 78 | 1:55 |
| Plank (PLK) | 2:30 | 80 | 2:30 |
| Two-Mile Run (2MR) | 16:30 | 84 | 16:39 |
Total 406 of 500. Against the combat enabling standard (a total of 300 and at least 60 points on every event), that is a pass. Under the combat standard, the total of 350 and the 60 points on every event would be checked instead.
Alternate aerobic events and permanent profiles
The Army's tables list Go/No-Go times for a 2.5-mile walk, a 12 km bike, a 1 km swim and a 5 km row. They are for Soldiers with a permanent profile, so the calculator offers them only after you tick the permanent profile box. ATP 7-22.01 says:
“Alternate aerobic endurance test events are not authorized for Soldiers on temporary profiles.”
“The profiled Soldier must complete the alternate aerobic endurance test event in a time equal to the 60-point standard for their age and sex to receive a passing score.”
“Zero points are awarded for a fail. Sixty points are awarded for a pass.”
The Go limit therefore follows age and sex, so the calculator reads the M|C column for men and the F column for women, even in a combat specialty; the Army sources used here do not address that case any further. For permanent profiles, Army Directive 2025-06 paragraph 4.g says:
“Pursuant to reference 1e, Soldiers with a permanent profile will take all events not prohibited by a permanent profile.”
“Soldiers must receive a “GO” in the alternative aerobic event, if taken.”
“Soldiers serving in combat specialties must pass all events not prohibited by a permanent profile with an average of 70 points or higher (4 events minimum 280 points = “PASS,” 3 events minimum 210 points = “PASS,” 2 events minimum 140 points = “PASS,” and 1 event minimum 70 points = “PASS”).”
The calculator therefore leaves out the events you mark as prohibited and requires a Go on the alternate event as a separate condition under both standards. Under the general standard every scored event taken needs 60 points. For combat specialties it checks 60 points on every scored event taken and an average of 70 or higher over the scored events only; the Go is not counted in that average. The directive's examples count scored events only (4 events minimum 280 points, 3 events 210, 2 events 140, 1 event 70). As background, the directive also says:
“Soldiers serving in combat specialties will receive 70 points for a “GO” on the alternate aerobic event and for all events prohibited by profile for the purpose of semi-centralized promotions.”
That 70 points is for semi-centralized promotions, not for the pass/fail average. The scorecard row for the alternate event shows 60 points for a Go and 0 for a No-Go, as ATP 7-22.01 awards. A Soldier whose profile leaves only the alternate event passes the combat profile test on a Go. The limits for every age group are in the AFT score chart.
The army.mil page also mentions the alternate aerobic event in this answer:
“Does this policy impact Soldiers with permanent profiles for the affected MOSs? Yes. They must average 70 points across events they can take and pass the alternate aerobic event if required.”
The ACFT and the AFT
“The Army Fitness Test (AFT) will become the official physical fitness test of record for all Soldiers on June 1, 2025, replacing the Army Combat Fitness Test.”
“The AFT replaces the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) on 1 June 2025.”
The calculator uses the AFT tables only. It does not contain the old ACFT scoring tables.
Frequently asked questions
What is a passing AFT score?
It depends on the specialty. The army.mil AFT page says: "Combat specialties: Introduces one sex-neutral, age-normed standard that requires a total score of 350, with a minimum of 60 points per event." It says: "Combat enabling specialties: Maintains sex- and age-normed scoring that requires a total score of 300." Army Directive 2025-06 adds for the AFT general standard: "The AFT general standard is performance-normed by sex and age. Soldiers serving in all AOCs/MOSs not listed in paragraph 4b(1) of this directive must attain a score of at least 60 points per event." Each of the five events is scored from 0 to 100 points in the Army's tables, so the highest possible total is 500.
How many points do you need on each AFT event?
At least 60 on every event under both standards. For combat specialties army.mil states a minimum of 60 points per event, and for the AFT general standard Army Directive 2025-06 says: "The AFT general standard is performance-normed by sex and age. Soldiers serving in all AOCs/MOSs not listed in paragraph 4b(1) of this directive must attain a score of at least 60 points per event." ATP 7-22.01 says: "Soldiers who fail to achieve the minimum passing score on any event are considered test failures." Since 5 x 60 = 300, the combat enabling total of 300 agrees with 60 points on all five events. The score chart and standards pages list the raw score worth 60 points in each age group and column.
Is the AFT scored differently for combat MOSs?
Yes. army.mil says combat specialties have one sex-neutral, age-normed standard, so this calculator reads the M|C column of the Army's score tables for every Soldier in a combat specialty. The PDF does not spell out what the "C" in M|C stands for; that reading comes from the army.mil wording. Combat enabling specialties use sex- and age-normed scoring, so a man uses the M|C column and a woman the F column.
What replaced the ACFT?
The Army Fitness Test. army.mil says: "The Army Fitness Test (AFT) will become the official physical fitness test of record for all Soldiers on June 1, 2025, replacing the Army Combat Fitness Test." The AFT tables cover five events: the max deadlift, the hand-release push-up, the sprint/drag/carry, the plank and the two-mile run. This calculator uses the AFT tables, not the old ACFT tables.
What are the AFT alternate events?
The Army's score tables list four Go/No-Go alternate events with a time limit for each age group and column: a 2.5-mile walk, a 12 km bike, a 1 km swim and a 5 km row. ATP 7-22.01 says: "The profiled Soldier must complete the alternate aerobic endurance test event in a time equal to the 60-point standard for their age and sex to receive a passing score." It also says: "Zero points are awarded for a fail. Sixty points are awarded for a pass." They are for Soldiers with permanent profiles: "Alternate aerobic endurance test events are not authorized for Soldiers on temporary profiles." The calculator scores a Go as 60 points and a No-Go as 0, and applies the standard you choose to the events taken. For combat specialties with a permanent profile the Go is required separately and is not counted in the 70-point average.
Does the Combat Field Test replace the AFT?
No. Army Directive 2026-07 says: "The CFT is not a substitute for the AFT." The directive requires the Combat Field Test for Soldiers in combat specialties; read the directive for who takes which test and when.
