AFT Calculator

event points = the score for your raw result in the table for that event, your sex and your age band; total score = deadlift points + push-up points + sprint-drag-carry points + plank points + run points; pass = every event ≥ 60 points and total ≥ 300 (general) or 350 (combat)

age band

One of ten bands from 17–21 to 62 and over. It selects which column of the scoring table applies to you, and the effect is large: the same two-mile run time can be worth more than twenty points more in the oldest band than in the youngest

sex

Male or female, which selects the table. Under the combat standard the answer does not matter for the scoring, because that standard is normed on one sex-neutral column — the page still asks, so that the same form works for both standards

standard

General or combat. It changes exactly one number in the scoring — the total you need, 300 or 350 — and one thing outside it: who the standard applies to, which is the twenty-one designated combat occupations rather than a choice a soldier makes

raw result

What you actually did in one event: pounds on the hex bar, repetitions, or a time written as minutes and seconds. The three timed events are typed the way the scorecard prints them — 1:50 for the sprint-drag-carry, 2:30 for the plank, 16:30 for the two-mile run (pt)

event points

The score that raw result earns, from 0 to 100, read off that event's table. Sixty is the floor for passing and a hundred is the ceiling for scoring — an event you max out cannot make up for an event you failed (pt)

total score

The five event scores added together, out of a possible 500. It is the headline figure on the page and the least useful one on its own: under the general standard a total of 300 passes only if every event separately reached sixty (pt)

Use it after a diagnostic or a record test to see where you stand against the standard that applies to you, and use the two tables below before one: they list the passing score for every event in every age band, so you can see which event is the one holding your total down. Read them together with the fifty-nine-point rule, because a table of minimums is easy to read as a menu when it is a set of five separate floors. Do not use the page to decide whether a test counts — the record is the official one, not this — and do not use it to compare two soldiers against each other, since a total of 400 means different things in different age bands. If you are being scored under the combat standard, check which column you are owed before you act on any number here.

1. The page's own defaults: male, general standard, 27–31

   1. 230 lb on the deadlift, in the 27–31 male column, is worth 77 points
   2. 50 hand-release push-ups is 91 points
   3. 1:50 for the sprint-drag-carry is 85 points
   4. 2:30 on the plank is 81 points
   5. 16:30 for the two-mile run is 85 points
   6. 77 + 91 + 85 + 81 + 85 = 419, and every event is above 60, so 419 against a 300 pass mark is a pass

   A comfortable pass, and the shape most diagnostic results have: the total is well clear of the mark while one or two events carry it. Here the deadlift is the lowest score at 77 and the push-ups the highest at 91, which is the usual pattern — upper-body endurance is the easiest event to score well in and the lift is where most of the training time goes. Loading these five numbers and reading the five event scores is the point of the page: the total says you passed, and the breakdown says what to work on.

2. Exactly on the line: the 60-point minimums, male 17–21

   1. The five minimum passing results in the youngest male band: 150 lb, 15 reps, 2:28, 1:30 and 19:57
   2. Each of them is worth exactly 60 points
   3. 60 × 5 = 300, which is exactly the general standard's total

   The narrowest pass the page can produce, and a useful one to try yourself: change any single figure by one repetition or one second and the total drops below 300 while four events stay at 60. It is also the example that shows why the two conditions are checked separately — here they coincide, and a calculator that only compared totals would look identical on this row and wrong on the next one.

3. The same results under the combat standard

   1. Identical to the previous example: the same five results, the same five event scores, the same total of 300
   2. The only thing that changed is the standard, which raises the pass mark from 300 to 350
   3. 300 is below 350, so the same scorecard that passed a moment ago now falls fifty points short

   One form field, one verdict reversed. This is the pair of examples worth reading together, because under the combat standard the event scores do not move at all for a male soldier — the same column is used — and the entire difference is the total required. Note also what the page does not do: it reports the shortfall as a total problem rather than a failure, since all five events are at or above their floor.

4. A strong total that still fails: plank held for 30 seconds

   1. Four of the five events are the same as the first example: 77, 91, 85 and 85
   2. 30 seconds on the plank is below the lowest row of the scoring table, so it earns no points at all rather than a small number
   3. 77 + 91 + 85 + 0 + 85 = 338
   4. 338 is above the 300 pass mark, and the plank is below 60, so the test is failed

   The failure mode this page exists to catch. A total of 338 would pass on its own, and four event scores in the eighties look like a strong scorecard; the single missing event is the whole verdict. It also demonstrates a real feature of the official tables rather than an artefact of this calculator: below the lowest score in a table there is no row, so a result that short earns nothing instead of a fraction.

5. Female, combat standard, 62 and over

   1. The combat standard is sex-neutral, so these are scored on the same column a man of the same age would use
   2. 150 lb on the deadlift is 72 points, 30 hand-release push-ups is 92, 2:40 is 75, 1:30 is 66 and 22:00 is 65
   3. 72 + 92 + 75 + 66 + 65 = 370
   4. Every event is above 60 and 370 clears the 350 combat mark

   The case that is easiest to score wrongly by hand. A woman under the combat standard is not scored on the female table, and a page that keyed off sex alone would report a noticeably higher total here while looking completely normal. Note as well how close the run is: 65 points against a floor of 60 means this scorecard passes on the strength of the events around it, and the oldest age band is where that margin is widest.

This page scores the numbers you type; it does not test you. The scoring tables are the official ones, but the results entered into them are yours, and a diagnostic score is not a record score — if you want to know whether you passed, the answer is on the scorecard signed by your grader, not here. Two conditions are checked and neither is optional: every event must reach sixty points and the total must reach the mark for your standard, so a page reporting a high total and a failure is working correctly. A result below the lowest row of a table scores zero rather than a small number, which can make a single poor event look like a data error when it is the rule. The page also does not know which standard applies to you. Choosing combat when you are not in one of the designated occupations, or the reverse, changes your verdict without changing your fitness, so confirm it before you act on the answer. Timing is another gap: sprint-drag-carry and run times are entered to the second and scored against thresholds that are also in whole seconds, but a stopwatch reading of 16:29.5 is a judgement call your grader makes and this page cannot. Finally, the alternate aerobic events available to soldiers on a profile — walk, bike, swim or row — are scored as go or no-go outside this table and have no place on this form.

What are the five AFT events?

The three-repetition maximum deadlift with a hex bar, hand-release push-ups in two minutes, the sprint-drag-carry, a plank hold, and a two-mile run. Each is worth up to a hundred points, so the maximum total is 500. The standing power throw that the old Army Combat Fitness Test included was removed when the AFT replaced it on 1 June 2025, which is why the maximum dropped from 600 to 500 — if you are looking at a chart with six events on it, it is the old test.

What is the difference between the general standard and the combat standard?

One number, and one column. The general standard requires sixty points in every event and a total of 300; the combat standard requires the same sixty-point floor but a total of 350, and it is scored on a sex-neutral column rather than separate male and female tables. It applies to twenty-one designated combat occupations rather than to anyone who wants a harder target. For a male soldier the event scores are identical under both standards, so the entire difference is the fifty points.

Can I fail with a total above 300?

Yes, and it is the most common way a scorecard that looks fine is not. Every event has its own sixty-point floor, so a total of 338 with a plank of thirty seconds is a failure with four strong events on it. The page reports that case separately from a shortfall in the total, because the two need different responses: one is a single event to train, the other is five events that each need a little more.

Why did an event score zero rather than a low number?

Because below the lowest row of a scoring table there is no row to read. The official scales begin at a forty-point equivalent in most events, and a result short of that earns nothing rather than a fraction — which is a property of the tables, not a rounding decision on this page. It is worth knowing before a test: a slightly short plank is not worth a slightly lower score, it is worth none of it.

How much does my age band matter?

More than most people expect. The bands run from 17–21 to 62 and over, and the same raw result is worth progressively more points as you move up them, because the standards are normed within each band rather than against a single absolute scale. Two soldiers with identical results in different bands can differ by more than a hundred points in total. The two tables on this page put all ten bands side by side for exactly that reason.

I am being scored under the combat standard. Which column do I read?

The one headed by the male table, whoever you are. The combat standard is sex-neutral by design, so it uses a single column for both sexes, and the female table does not apply to it. A woman scored under the combat standard will therefore see lower event scores than the female tables would give her for the same results, and that is the standard working as written rather than a fault in the page.

Are the two tables on this page the whole scoring scale?

No — they are the sixty-point row of it, for each event and each age band. That is the figure worth having in front of you before a test, because it is the floor every event has to clear. The full scales give a score for every point from 0 to 100, and the calculator above applies them to whatever result you enter, so you do not need the rest of the table to get your own score.
