Score chartsAPFT Calculator for the Three-Event Army Physical Fitness Test
AFT Calculator's APFT calculator converts your 2-mile run time, push-up repetitions, and sit-up repetitions into event points. We apply the scoring standards for your sex and age group, then add the three event scores for a total out of 300 points.
Enter your results for all three events to view your APFT score. Each APFT event requires at least 60 points to meet the legacy passing standard.
Inputs APFT Calculator Accepts
The APFT calculator inputs (sex, age group, 2-mile run time, push-up repetitions, and sit-up repetitions) are explained below.
Sex Input for Male and Female APFT Tables
The sex input selects the male or female APFT scoring table in the APFT calculator. Male and female standards differ for the 2-mile run and push-ups, while the cited APFT tables use the same sit-up standards for both sexes.
The selected sex table determines how many points each raw result earns for the soldier's age group. As a result, the same run time or push-up count can receive different points under the male and female standards.
Age Group Input From 17–21 to 62 and Over
The age group input, from 17–21 to 62 and over, uses the soldier's age on the test date to select the matching APFT scoring table. The legacy age groups are 17–21, 22–26, 27–31, 32–36, 37–41, 42–46, 47–51, 52–56, 57–61, and 62 and over.
The selected age group adjusts the points assigned to 2-mile run times, push-up repetitions, and sit-up repetitions. When a birthday falls near the test date, the soldier uses the age reached on the actual APFT date.
2-Mile Run Time Input
The 2-mile run time input takes the run time in minutes and seconds, such as 15:42. The APFT calculator uses the selected sex and age group to find the corresponding points in the FM 7-22 run-scoring table, and faster times earn more points.
When a recorded time falls between two chart values, the lower point value is used, according to Appendix A, "Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT)," of TC 3-22.20 Army Physical Readiness Training by Headquarters, Department of the Army, August 2010. For example, a 15:33 run falls between 15:30 and 15:36, so the calculator uses the 15:36 scoring line.
Push-Up Repetitions Input
The push-up repetitions input records the number of valid push-ups completed during the APFT's two-minute event. The APFT calculator uses the repetition count, sex, and age group to select the applicable FM 7-22 scoring table and assign event points.
A grader counts a push-up repetition when the soldier lowers the body until the upper arms are at least parallel to the ground, then raises the body until the arms fully extend. Incomplete repetitions do not count toward the push-up score.
Sit-Up Repetitions Input
The sit-up repetitions input records the number of correctly completed sit-ups during the APFT's two-minute event. The APFT calculator matches the repetition count to the selected sex and age group to determine sit-up points.
A valid sit-up repetition begins with knees bent at about 90 degrees, reaches the vertical position, and lowers until the lower shoulder blades touch the floor. Sit-up repetitions do not count when the soldier releases interlocked fingers, fails to reach vertical, arches the back, or lifts the buttocks.
APFT Standards by Age and Sex
The APFT standards by age and sex below show the 2-mile run, push-up, and sit-up results associated with 60 and 100 points for each age group and sex.
| Age group | Sex | 2-mile run at 60 points | 2-mile run at 100 points | Push-ups at 60 points | Push-ups at 100 points | Sit-ups at 60 points | Sit-ups at 100 points |

For the 2-mile run, a faster time earns more points; for push-ups and sit-ups, higher repetition counts earn more points. The legacy APFT scoring tables and age- and sex-based standards come from "FM 7-22 Army Physical Readiness Training," published by Headquarters, Department of the Army in October 2012. Official Army publication
APFT Minimum Passing Standard of 60 Points per Event
The APFT minimum passing standard required soldiers to earn at least 60 points in each event: push-ups, sit-ups, and the 2-mile run. As shown in the APFT standards table above, meeting all three event minimums produces a passing total of 180 points.
A total of 180 points or more did not pass a soldier who scored below 60 points in any event. FM 7-22 applies the pass standard separately to each event and to the combined score.
APFT Maximum Score of 300 Points and the Extended Scale
The APFT maximum score on the standard scale was 300 points, with up to 100 points each for push-ups, sit-ups, and the two-mile run. Earlier guidance allowed exceptional performers to use an extended scale only after earning 100 points in all three events. Under the extended scale, each additional push-up or sit-up generally earned one point, while each six-second improvement in run time earned one point.
Extended-scale totals could exceed 300 for local or competitive comparison, but official records remained capped at 300 under later guidance. TC 3-22.20, the training circular that FM 7-22 replaced, states that the maximum APFT score is 300 points and that "the use of extended scale scoring IS NOT authorized," in Appendix A, "Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT)," published by Headquarters, Department of the Army in August 2010; soldiers should follow the rules applicable to their test and record date (FM 7-22).

APFT Body Fat Calculator and AR 600-9 Standards
APFT-era body-fat screening under AR 600-9 began with a height-and-weight check against the Army screening table. Soldiers who exceeded the screening weight, or whose commanders identified a body-composition concern, received a circumference-based tape test. The tape test used prescribed body measurements to estimate body fat and did not determine body fat from weight alone. The circumference-based tape method was the only authorized way to estimate body fat, and Soldiers found over the standard were flagged under AR 600-8-2 and enrolled in the Army Body Composition Program, according to Army Regulation 600-9, The Army Body Composition Program by Headquarters, Department of the Army, June 2013.
Table B-2 of AR 600-9 (June 2013) sets the historical maximum body-fat percentages by age and sex: men could not exceed 20% at ages 17–20, 22% at 21–27, 24% at 28–39, or 26% at 40 and older. The corresponding body-fat limits for women were 30%, 32%, 34%, and 36%. Soldiers who exceeded the applicable limit could enter the Army weight-control program and face personnel actions, including flagging, under applicable regulations. Army Regulation 600-8-2, Suspension of Favorable Personnel Actions (Flag) covers flagging procedures; use an AFT body fat calculator for current standards rather than applying APFT-era limits.
APFT-Era Height and Weight Screening Table
The APFT-era height and weight screening table lists maximum screening weights by height, sex, and age group. Headquarters, Department of the Army publishes the screening weights in AR 600-9, The Army Body Composition Program (June 2013), Appendix B, Table B-1, which uses age bands of 17–20, 21–27, 28–39, and 40 years and over.[^1]

How to Read APFT Calculator Results?
To read APFT calculator results, start with the separate point scores for the 2-mile run, push-ups, and sit-ups, then check the total score out of 300. Each event score reflects the soldier's raw result against the FM 7-22 table for the selected age group and sex.
A soldier passes an event by earning at least 60 points, and a passing APFT requires 60 points or more in all three events. The calculator's total shows the soldier's combined score, but a total of 180 or higher does not erase a failed event below 60 points. The event scores and total indicate the soldier's standing under the legacy APFT standard.
The APFT scoring scale explains how each raw result maps to points from 0 to 100.
APFT Scoring Scale From 0 to 100 Points per Event
The APFT scoring scale assigns 0 to 100 points to each event. A soldier's 2-mile run time, push-up repetitions, and sit-up repetitions map to points in the applicable FM 7-22 table for the soldier's age and sex.
Faster run times and more valid repetitions earn higher event scores. The standard APFT scale caps each event at 100 points, producing a maximum three-event total of 300 points.
Does a Score Below 60 Points in One Event Fail the APFT?
Yes, a score below 60 points in one APFT event fails the APFT, regardless of the combined score. Soldiers must earn at least 60 points each in the push-up, sit-up, and 2-mile run events, and the minimum passing total is 180 points.
A failed event means the soldier does not pass the APFT and must follow applicable Army retesting and remediation procedures. Headquarters, Department of the Army confirms in Appendix A of TC 3-22.20 Army Physical Readiness Training (August 2010), the manual that preceded FM 7-22, that all Soldiers must attain at least 60 points on each event and a total of at least 180 points, in accordance with AR 350-1.
Why AFT Calculator Scores the APFT Against FM 7-22 Tables
AFT Calculator scores the APFT against FM 7-22 tables because the FM 7-22 tables set the official legacy APFT points by event, sex, and age group. AFT Calculator's table-based lookup assigns points to each raw result, preserving the standards that the official DA Form 705 scorecard used.
FM 7-22 sets separate standards by age and sex, so the same run time or repetition count can earn different points. AFT Calculator applies the matching FM 7-22 table for each event, then adds the three event scores to calculate the total.
How APFT Calculator Computes the 300-Point Total
The APFT calculator computes the 300-point total by converting the push-up count, sit-up count, and 2-mile run time into event points. Each raw result is looked up in the FM 7-22 table selected by the soldier's sex and age group. For results between listed values, the APFT calculator follows the applicable table's scoring rule rather than inventing an interpolated score.
The APFT calculator adds the three event scores: push-up points + sit-up points + run points. The standard scale allows up to 100 points per event and 300 points total; authorized extended-scale points follow the applicable Army reporting rules. The completed event scores and total correspond to the results recorded on the official DA Form 705 scorecard below.
APFT Scorecard on DA Form 705
DA Form 705 is the official APFT scorecard for recording a soldier's test results and certification. The DA Form 705 scorecard records the test date, age, height, weight, body-fat percentage, body-composition result, and final grade.
For each event, the grader records the raw result, corresponding points, initials, and Go/No-Go status. The APFT calculator's push-up, sit-up, and 2-mile run scores map to the event fields, while their sum maps to the total-points field; responsible officials complete the certification fields.
Does an APFT Score Convert to an Army Fitness Test Score?
No, an APFT score does not convert directly to an Army Fitness Test (AFT) score because the tests use different events and scoring scales. The APFT scored push-ups, sit-ups, and a two-mile run, while the AFT scores five events on a 500-point scale. Army Directive 2025-06 (Army Fitness Test), signed by Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll in April 2025, establishes standards for the new test, not a conversion formula for legacy APFT results. Soldiers moving to the AFT should enter new event results in the AFT score calculator.
AFT Calculator's AFT Score Calculator for Soldiers Moving From APFT Scores to the AFT
AFT Calculator's AFT score calculator scores a new Army Fitness Test result, because legacy APFT scores do not convert directly. Enter your results for the three-repetition maximum deadlift, hand-release push-up, sprint-drag-carry, plank, and two-mile run, then select the applicable age group, sex, and general or combat standard. We apply the corresponding AFT scoring tables. (TrainCalc)
Run your first AFT score with AFT Calculator to see the event points and total result under the current five-event format. The general standard uses age- and sex-based scoring, while the combat standard uses sex-neutral, age-normed scoring. (TrainCalc)
APFT vs ACFT vs AFT Scoring Differences
APFT, ACFT, and AFT scoring differ in event count, point totals, passing rules, and standards. The comparison below summarizes the principal rules used during each test's official period.
| Scoring feature | APFT | ACFT | AFT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of events | 3 | 6 | 5 |
| Event list | Push-ups, sit-ups, and 2-mile run | 3-repetition maximum deadlift, standing power throw, hand-release push-ups, sprint-drag-carry, leg tuck or plank, and 2-mile run | 3-repetition maximum deadlift, hand-release push-ups, sprint-drag-carry, plank, and 2-mile run |
| Points per event | 0–100 points | 0–100 points | 0–100 points |
| Maximum total | 300 points on the standard scale; extended scoring could exceed 300 | 600 points | 500 points |
| Minimum passing standard | At least 60 points in each event; 180 points in total | Generally at least 60 points in each event; 360 points in total under the applicable standard | General standard: at least 60 points per event and 300 in total. Combat-specialty standard: at least 60 points per event and 350 in total |
| Age-and-sex scoring basis | Separate age- and sex-based tables | Standards and scoring policies changed during implementation; the test used a common 60-point event minimum | General scoring uses age- and sex-based tables; combat-specialty scoring uses a sex-neutral, age-normed standard |
| Years in use | Used before the ACFT replaced it in 2020 | Army test of record from 2020 through May 31, 2025 | Army test of record beginning June 1, 2025 |
The APFT assessed push-up endurance, sit-up endurance, and aerobic endurance. The ACFT expanded testing to six events, while the AFT removed the standing power throw and reduced the maximum score from 600 to 500, as Sgt. Woodlyne Escarne reports in "Army introduces new fitness test for 2025," published by the U.S. Army in May 2025.
The Army's FM 7-22, Army Physical Readiness Training, describes APFT events and scoring. Army Directive 2022-05 documents ACFT policy, while Army Directive 2025-06 establishes the AFT and its scoring standards: a General minimum of 300 points and a Combat minimum of 350 points, with at least 60 points per event, according to "Army establishes new fitness test of record to strengthen readiness and lethality" by Army Public Affairs, April 2025.
ACFT Calculator for Six-Event Scores Before June 2025
Soldiers with six-event ACFT results recorded before June 2025 should use an ACFT calculator. The ACFT calculator scores the three-repetition maximum deadlift, standing power throw, hand-release push-up, sprint-drag-carry, leg tuck, and two-mile run.
Why the Army Retired the APFT
The Army retired the APFT because the ACFT assessed a broader range of combat-related physical demands than push-ups, sit-ups, and a two-mile run measured. A March 2022 Army directive from Secretary of the Army Christine E. Wormuth implemented the revised ACFT as the Army's general physical fitness test, with record testing for Regular Army and Active Guard Reserve Soldiers starting on October 1, 2022, according to "Secretary approves implementation of revised Army Combat Fitness Test" by Sgt. 1st Class Will Reinier, March 2022. The Army's ACFT overview describes the ACFT's focus on physical readiness for combat tasks.
What Was the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT)?
The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) was the U.S. Army's standardized assessment of soldiers' physical fitness. The APFT measured muscular endurance and aerobic fitness through two minutes of push-ups, two minutes of sit-ups, and a timed two-mile run. The Army used the APFT from 1980 until the transition to the Army Combat Fitness Test in the early 2020s. The APFT calculator scores the three legacy APFT events using the applicable age and sex standards.
APFT Alternate Aerobic Events for Profiled Soldiers
Soldiers with an approved profile preventing the 2-mile run could take an authorized alternate aerobic event. Each APFT alternate aerobic event required completion within the applicable age- and sex-based time standard.
- 800-yard swim: Scored GO or NO-GO.
- 6.2-mile stationary-cycle ergometer test: Scored GO or NO-GO.
- 6.2-mile bicycle test: Scored GO or NO-GO.
- 2.5-mile walk: Scored GO or NO-GO.
APFT Scores and Army Promotion Points
APFT scores counted toward Army promotion points when eligible enlisted soldiers converted their recorded APFT score into points under the applicable Army promotion-points table, as governed by AR 600-8-19, Enlisted Promotions and Reductions. APFT-based promotion points no longer apply to current promotion actions: Table 3-4 of "AR 600-8-19 Enlisted Promotions and Reductions," published by Headquarters, Department of the Army in March 2026, converts AFT scores into promotion points, with a 500-point AFT worth 120 points.
When Does a Soldier Still Need an APFT Calculator?
A soldier still needs an APFT calculator to review historical records and verify scores recorded on DA Form 705. The APFT is no longer the Army's current fitness test, but APFT results can help compare past performance with newer AFT results, even though the two scores do not convert directly. Instructors and organizations may need APFT scoring for legacy records or non-Army programs that retain the three-event standards. An APFT calculator scores those historical results using the applicable age-and-sex tables.
