USAF PT Score Formula:

The total Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) score is determined by the sum of points achieved in the three graded components:

$$ \text{Total Score} = \text{Push-ups Score} + \text{Sit-ups Score} + \text{1.5 Mile Run Score} $$

Each component is scored based on age and gender-specific charts, with a maximum of 20 points for Push-ups, 20 points for Sit-ups, and 60 points for the Run, totaling 100 points.

Variables Used in Calculation:

• Age and Gender: Used to select the correct scoring tables. Passing standards are scaled.
• Push-ups (Reps): The number of correct push-ups performed in one minute. Max score: 20 points.
• Sit-ups (Reps): The number of correct sit-ups performed in one minute. Max score: 20 points.
• 1.5-mile Run Time (MM:SS): The time taken to complete the run. Max score: 60 points.

What is the USAF PT Score Calculator?

The USAF PT Score Calculator is a tool designed to rapidly estimate an individual’s score on the U.S. Air Force/Space Force Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA). The PFA is a mandated component of readiness, assessing cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, and body composition. The score is critical for an Airman’s career progression and deployment eligibility.

The fitness portion of the test, which this calculator focuses on, is worth 100 points (20 PU, 20 SU, 60 Run). Achieving a total score of 75 points or higher is required to pass, with minimum component scores also being mandatory (no component can score 0). This tool simulates the official scoring matrix to provide instant feedback.

How to Calculate the USAF PT Score (Example)

1. Input Age/Gender Standards: Select the appropriate age and gender category (e.g., Male, Age 20-29).
2. Input Component Scores: An Airman performs 48 push-ups, 55 sit-ups, and completes the 1.5-mile run in 10 minutes and 0 seconds.
3. Determine Component Points: Based on the 20-29 Male chart (approximated by this calculator’s logic):
   • Push-ups (48 reps) $\to$ 19.4 points (Score is close to maximum)
   • Sit-ups (55 reps) $\to$ 18.0 points
   • Run (10:00) $\to$ 52.0 points
4. Calculate Total Score: $19.4 + 18.0 + 52.0 = 89.4$.
5. Determine Status: The total score of 89.4 is above the 75 minimum passing score, resulting in a ‘Satisfactory’ pass (or ‘Excellent’ if it reaches 90+).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the minimum passing score for the USAF PFA?

The minimum passing score is 75 points overall. However, you must also achieve minimum point scores in each of the three components (Push-ups, Sit-ups, and Run) to pass the entire test.

How often must Airmen take the PFA?

Airmen who score ‘Excellent’ (90+ points) may test every 12 months. Those who score ‘Satisfactory’ (75-89.9 points) must test every 6 months, assuming they also passed all components.

Does the calculator account for the walking component?

This calculator is primarily structured for the 1.5-mile run time. Airmen choosing the 2.0 km walk would input their time and the scoring logic would adjust, though the run is the most common test element.

Are there different standards for officers and enlisted?

No, the scoring standards for the USAF PFA are identical across all ranks (officer, enlisted, and cadet) and are only differentiated by age and gender.
