Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) Calculator
Use this calculator to estimate your score on the U.S. Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) based on your age, gender, and performance in push-ups, sit-ups, and the 2-mile run. This calculator uses a simplified scoring model for demonstration purposes, primarily focusing on the 17-21 and 22-26 age groups.

Understanding the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT)
The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) is a standardized test used by the U.S. Army to assess the physical endurance and muscular strength of its soldiers. It's a critical component of military readiness and career progression. The test consists of three main events, designed to measure different aspects of physical fitness.
The Three Events of the APFT:
- Push-ups: This event measures the endurance of the chest, shoulder, and triceps muscles. Soldiers perform as many push-ups as possible in a two-minute period. Proper form is crucial, with the body forming a generally straight line from head to ankles, and the upper arms parallel to the ground at the lowest point.
- Sit-ups: This event assesses the endurance of the abdominal and hip flexor muscles. Soldiers perform as many sit-ups as possible in a two-minute period. The soldier starts lying on their back with knees bent, feet flat on the ground, and hands interlocked behind the head. They raise their upper body until the base of their neck is above the base of their shoulder blades, then return to the starting position.
- 2-Mile Run: This event measures aerobic endurance and leg muscle endurance. Soldiers run two miles as quickly as possible. This is typically the most challenging event for many, requiring sustained effort and pacing.
Scoring and Passing the APFT:
Each event is scored on a scale of 0 to 100 points, with a maximum total score of 300 points for all three events. The scoring standards are adjusted based on the soldier's age and gender to ensure fairness across different demographics. To pass the APFT, a soldier must achieve a minimum of 60 points in each of the three events and a total cumulative score of at least 180 points.
- Minimum per event: 60 points
- Minimum total score: 180 points
- Maximum total score: 300 points
How This Calculator Works:
Our APFT calculator simplifies the complex scoring tables used by the U.S. Army. You input your age, gender, and your performance for each of the three events. The calculator then uses a predefined scoring matrix (based on official APFT standards for specific age groups) to determine your score for each event and your overall total. It will also indicate whether you pass or fail based on the minimum requirements.
Please Note: This calculator provides an estimate and uses a simplified scoring model, primarily covering the 17-21 and 22-26 age groups. Official APFT regulations contain detailed scoring tables for a wider range of age groups and specific performance increments. Always refer to official Army resources for precise and up-to-date scoring information.
Example Scenarios:
Let's look at a couple of examples using the calculator:
- Example 1 (Passing): A 20-year-old male performs 60 push-ups (90 points), 70 sit-ups (90 points), and completes the 2-mile run in 14 minutes (90 points). His total score would be 270 points, and he would PASS the APFT.
- Example 2 (Failing – Event Minimum): A 25-year-old female performs 25 push-ups (70 points), 65 sit-ups (85 points), but completes the 2-mile run in 20 minutes (50 points). Even though her total score might be above 180, she would FAIL because her run score is below the 60-point minimum for that event.
- Example 3 (Failing – Total Score): A 22-year-old male performs 45 push-ups (65 points), 55 sit-ups (65 points), and completes the 2-mile run in 16 minutes (65 points). His total score is 195 points, and all individual events are above 60 points. He would PASS. (Wait, this example is a pass. Let's make it a fail.)
A 22-year-old male performs 40 push-ups (60 points), 50 sit-ups (60 points), and completes the 2-mile run in 16 minutes 30 seconds (60 points). His total score is 180 points, and all individual events are exactly 60 points. He would PASS.
Let's adjust for a fail: A 22-year-old male performs 40 push-ups (60 points), 50 sit-ups (60 points), and completes the 2-mile run in 17 minutes (55 points). His total score is 175 points. He would FAIL due to both the run score being below 60 and the total score being below 180.
