What is the Marine PT Test Calculator?

The Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is the standard evaluation used to measure the physical readiness of all Marines. Our calculator uses the official scoring algorithms to convert your raw performance into a score between 0 and 300.

Calculating your PFT score is essential for career progression, as it affects composite scores for promotion and selection boards. A “1st Class” PFT is the gold standard for any Marine looking to excel in their career.

How to Calculate Marine PT Test Score (Example)

  1. Step 1: Select your Gender and Age (e.g., Male, 22).
  2. Step 2: Enter your reps. If you did 20 pull-ups, that’s usually 100 points.
  3. Step 3: Enter your plank time. A 3:45 plank equals 100 points.
  4. Step 4: Enter your run time. A 18:00 run equals 100 points.
  5. Step 5: Click Calculate to see your total (300) and Class (1st Class).
