APFT Calculator - Army Physical Fitness Test Score
Enter your age, gender, push-up reps, sit-up reps, and 2-mile run time to instantly calculate your Army Physical Fitness Test score. You get points for each event, a total out of 300, your pass or fail status (60 points minimum per event), and whether you qualify for the Army Physical Fitness Badge (270 total with 90 in each event). The scoring tables follow the official FM 7-22 standards used from 1980 until the APFT was replaced by the ACFT in 2020.
What is the APFT?
The Army Physical Fitness Test was the U.S. Army's standard fitness assessment from 1980 until it was phased out in 2020 when the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) took over. The APFT consisted of three events graded in sequence: two minutes of push-ups, two minutes of sit-ups, and a 2-mile run. Each event was scored independently on a 0 to 100 point scale, for a combined maximum of 300 points. To pass, a soldier had to score at least 60 points in every event - a failure in any one event meant the entire test was failed regardless of the other scores. The test was graded by age group (eight groups from 17-21 through 52-56) and by gender, meaning the number of push-ups or the run time required for a given score differed depending on who was taking the test.
How APFT scoring works
Each event has two key anchor points published in FM 7-22 (the Army Physical Readiness Training manual). The first anchor is the performance that earns exactly 60 points - the minimum to pass that event. The second is the performance that earns exactly 100 points - the maximum on the standard scale. Between those two anchors, points are assigned by linear interpolation, so every additional push-up or sit-up above the 60-point floor adds roughly the same fraction of the remaining 40 points. For the 2-mile run, a faster time earns more points on the same linear scale (since a lower time is better). Performances below the 60-point anchor still earn points on a linear scale down to zero, but anything below 60 in any event means the whole APFT is failed. Scores above the 100-point anchor are capped at 100 on the standard promotable form.
Physical Fitness Badge and promotion points
Soldiers who scored 270 or higher with at least 90 points in each individual event earned the Army Physical Fitness Badge, a marksmanship-style badge worn on the uniform. Beyond the badge, APFT scores fed into enlisted promotion points for E-5 and E-6: the maximum APFT contribution was 180 points for a staff sergeant board and 145 points for sergeant. A perfect score of 300 (100 in each event) earned the top promotion allocation from the fitness component. Because of this, many soldiers aimed not just to pass at 180 but to maximize all three events.
From APFT to ACFT and AFT
The Army replaced the APFT with the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) in October 2020, adding four new events - a deadlift, power throw, sprint-drag-carry, and plank - to better reflect combat demands. In June 2025, the ACFT was in turn replaced by the Army Fitness Test (AFT), which simplified the event lineup while retaining a more combat-relevant framework than the original APFT. This calculator reflects the legacy APFT scoring tables (FM 7-22), which remain useful for historical comparison, fitness self-assessment, and ROTC programs that still reference the older standards.
APFT Score Bands
| Total Score | Category | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 0-179 | Fail | Also fails if any single event is below 60 |
| 180-209 | Pass | Meets minimum Army standard |
| 210-239 | Above Average | Solid fitness level |
| 240-269 | Excellent | High fitness level |
| 270-300 | Physical Fitness Badge | Must also score 90+ in each individual event |
Official Army Physical Fitness Test performance tiers. All three events must score 60+ to pass. Physical Fitness Badge requires 270 total with 90+ in each event.
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum score to pass the APFT?
A soldier must score at least 60 points in each of the three events (push-ups, sit-ups, and the 2-mile run) to pass the APFT. That gives a minimum combined passing score of 180 out of 300. Scoring 59 or below in even one event is an automatic failure of the entire test, no matter how well you do in the other two events.
Do push-up and run standards differ for men and women?
Yes. Push-up and 2-mile run standards differ by gender because the point anchors are different for male and female soldiers. For example, a 22-26 year old male needs 40 push-ups for 60 points and 75 for 100 points, while a female in the same age group needs 17 push-ups for 60 points and 46 for 100 points. Sit-up standards are the same for both genders within each age group.
What is the Army Physical Fitness Badge?
The Army Physical Fitness Badge is awarded to soldiers who score 270 or higher on the APFT with a minimum of 90 points in each individual event. It is a uniform badge - similar in design to marksmanship badges - that signals exceptional physical fitness. Earning it also maximizes the promotion-point contribution from the fitness component.
How are APFT points calculated between age groups?
The APFT uses eight age groups from 17-21 up to 52-56. Each age group has its own scoring anchors for each event and each gender (where applicable). Points between the 60-point and 100-point anchors are assigned by linear interpolation, so each additional rep or each second faster on the run earns a proportional share of the remaining 40 points between the floor and the ceiling.
Is the APFT still used in 2026?
No. The U.S. Army replaced the APFT with the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) in 2020, then replaced the ACFT with the Army Fitness Test (AFT) in 2025. The APFT scoring tables remain relevant for ROTC historical comparison, fitness benchmarking, and educational purposes. Some ROTC programs and fitness communities still reference APFT standards as a known baseline.
What happens if I score above 100 on an event?
On the standard APFT score card (DA Form 705), individual event scores are capped at 100 points, giving a maximum total of 300. There is an extended scale used in some contexts that can go beyond 100, but for official promotion point calculations and pass/fail determination the standard 100-point cap per event applies. This calculator uses the standard 100-point cap.
