What is an ACFT calculator?
An ACFT calculator turns your raw results on the six Army Combat Fitness Test events into points. You enter what you actually did — the weight you deadlifted, how far you threw the ball, your push-ups, your sprint-drag-carry and run times, and how long you held the plank — pick your sex and age group, and it returns a 0–100 score for each event, your total out of 600, and whether you passed. It answers the question every soldier asks before a record test: what would I score today?
The ACFT (Army Combat Fitness Test) is the Army's physical fitness test of record. It replaced the decades-old APFT on 1 October 2022 and is scored against age- and sex-based standards, so the same raw performance can earn different points depending on who you are. This calculator does the lookup and the maths for you, live, as you type — no scorecard, no manual table-reading.
The six ACFT events explained
The ACFT is six events run back-to-back, each scored from 0 to 100. Together they test strength, power, endurance, and core stability — the physical demands of the modern battlefield. Here is what each one measures and the unit it is scored in.
Notice that two events — the sprint-drag-carry and the two-mile run — are scored on time, where a lower number is a higher score. The other four reward a higher raw number. The calculator handles both directions automatically, so you just enter your real result.
How ACFT scoring works: age, sex, 60 minimum, 100 maximum
Each event is scored on a 0–100 scale set by official Army scoring tables that vary by sex and age group. The two reference points that matter most are the same for every event: the raw result that earns exactly 60 points (the minimum to pass that event) and the raw result that earns 100 points (the maximum). Between those anchors, more (or, for timed events, faster) earns more points.
Because the standards are age- and sex-normed, your points are computed against your own bracket — a 19-year-old and a 45-year-old who deadlift the same weight earn different scores, and that is by design. The Army uses ten age brackets (17–21, 22–26, and so on up to 62+). Pick yours, and the calculator scores you against the correct column of the official table.
How to use the ACFT calculator
Scoring your test takes three steps:
- Set your sex and age group. These pick the correct scoring column, so the calculator grades you against your own standard.
- Enter your six raw results. Deadlift in pounds, throw in metres, push-ups in reps, sprint-drag-carry and run as minutes:seconds, and your plank hold time. Use the totals you actually achieved.
- Read your scorecard. The headline shows your total out of 600 and pass or fail; the per-event grid shows your points and which events cleared the 60-point minimum.
A worked example using the ACFT calculator
Specialist Reyes is a 24-year-old man (the 22–26 bracket). He wants to score his last diagnostic ACFT. Here is exactly how the calculator turns his six raw results into a scorecard.
Step 1 — Set sex and age group
He selects Male and the 22–26 age group, so every event is scored against that column of the official table.
Step 2 — Enter the six raw results
MDL 240 lb, SPT 9.0 m, HRP 30 reps, SDC 2:10, PLK 2:00, 2MR 19:00.
Step 3 — Read the points
The deadlift sits halfway between the 140 lb minimum and the 340 lb maximum, so it scores 60 + 40 × (240 − 140) / (340 − 140) = 80. The other events interpolate the same way against their own anchors.
| Event | Raw result | Points |
|---|---|---|
| MDL — Deadlift | 240 lb | 80 |
| SPT — Power throw | 9.0 m | 76 |
| HRP — Push-ups | 30 reps | 76 |
| SDC — Sprint-drag-carry | 2:10 | 74 |
| PLK — Plank | 2:00 | 71 |
| 2MR — Two-mile run | 19:00 | 74 |
| Total | — | 451 |
Points are interpolated between the documented 60- and 100-point anchors for the male 22–26 bracket. Every event clears 60, so the test is a PASS at 451/600.
ACFT passing standards: what score do you need?
There are two ways to fail the ACFT, and you have to clear both. First, a per-event floor: every one of the six events must reach at least 60 points. Second, the total those scores add up to — at the minimum 60 in each event, the smallest passing total is 360 out of 600. You cannot trade a strong event for a weak one: a 100 on the run does not buy back a 55 on the deadlift.
| Milestone | Points | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Per-event minimum | 60 | The floor every single event must reach to pass |
| Minimum passing total | 360 | Scoring exactly 60 in all six events |
| Strong total | 500+ | Well above standard; competitive for many roles |
| Maximum | 600 | A perfect 100 in every event |
The 60-per-event rule is the one most soldiers underestimate — a single event under 60 fails the whole test regardless of the total.
The raw numbers behind that 60-point floor change with your age and sex. For a man in the youngest bracket, 60 points means a 140 lb deadlift, a 6.0 m throw, 10 hand-release push-ups, a 2:28 sprint-drag-carry, a 1:30 plank, and a 22:00 two-mile run. Enter your own age, sex, and results and the calculator shows exactly how close each event is to passing.
ACFT vs APFT: what changed in 2022
The ACFT replaced the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) as the test of record on 1 October 2022. The old APFT had just three events — two minutes of push-ups, two minutes of sit-ups, and a timed two-mile run — and only the run carried over. The ACFT broadened the test to six events that measure strength and power (the deadlift and power throw), upper-body and core endurance (hand-release push-ups and the plank), and a mixed anaerobic event (the sprint-drag-carry) on top of aerobic fitness.
Both tests share the same scoring logic — 0–100 per event, age- and sex-based standards, and a 60-point minimum — but the ACFT is far harder to game, because you can no longer lean on a single strong event. If you still have an old APFT score to score, use the APFT calculator; for strength benchmarks behind the deadlift, the bench press calculator and one-rep max calculator help you plan training loads.
How to improve your ACFT score
The ACFT rewards all-round athletes: four of the six events test or lean on explosive power. The fastest way to raise your total is usually to shore up your weakest event, because every point under 60 there is a failing test. The biggest levers:
- Build maximal strength for the deadlift. Heavy, low-rep trap-bar deadlifts and squats drive the MDL and carry over to the sprint-drag-carry. Use a one-rep max calculator to program your working weights.
- Train explosive power. Medicine-ball throws, kettlebell swings, and jumps improve the standing power throw and the sled portions of the sprint-drag-carry.
- Develop the run and the sprint-drag-carry together. Interval running and shuttle work raise both your two-mile time and your anaerobic SDC time — the two timed events where seconds are points.
- Grind out push-up and plank endurance. Frequent hand-release push-up sets and progressively longer planks add easy points on the two endurance events.
Re-test with the calculator every few weeks and watch the per-event points, not just the total — a balanced scorecard with no event near the 60 floor is far safer than a lopsided one. Scoring your strength work alongside the test? The bench press and Army body fat calculators round out your readiness picture.
Data sources and methodology
This calculator scores the current six-event ACFT against the official U.S. Army scoring scales dated 23 March 2022, which set the standards by event, sex, and ten age brackets. For each event/sex/age bracket it encodes the two documented anchors — the raw value that scores exactly 60 points (the minimum to pass) and the raw value that scores exactly 100 points (the maximum) — and linearly interpolates between them, clamping outside 0–100.
This means the score is exact at the 60- and 100-point anchors and a close approximation in between; it will not reproduce the official scorecard point-for-point at every intermediate raw value, because the published tables are mildly nonlinear. Use it as a fast, reliable estimate of where you stand — for an official record score, refer to the Army's full scoring scales (DA Form 705). The Army renamed the test the Army Fitness Test (AFT) in 2025 and announced changes such as removing the power throw; this tool scores the established six-event ACFT.
