How to Use the ACFT Calculator

  1. Enter your raw scores for each of the six events. Weights in pounds for deadlift, meters for standing power throw, reps for pushups, and times (mm:ss) for SDC, plank, and 2-mile run.
  2. Points appear instantly for each event, scored 0-100 based on the official ACFT scoring tables.
  3. Your total score is summed automatically. Maximum is 600 (100 per event); passing minimum is 360 (60 per event).
  4. Important: you must score 60 or higher on every individual event AND hit 360 total to pass. A 90 on five events but a 55 on one event is still a failure.

ACFT Scoring Explained

The ACFT (Army Combat Fitness Test) replaced the APFT in 2022 and shifted to a fully gender-neutral standard in 2023. Six events each scored 0-100 by lookup table:

Event Score = lookup(raw performance, scoring table)
Total Score = sum of all 6 event scores

Pass = total ≥ 360 AND every event ≥ 60

Each event uses a piecewise scoring curve calibrated by the Army Center for Initial Military Training (USACIMT). The curves emphasize functional fitness over absolute strength or endurance, with diminishing returns at the extremes — a 350 lb deadlift earns 100 points, but so does 400 lb.

ACFT Score Targets: Promotion, Tabs, and Special Operations

The ACFT minimum of 360 points keeps you in the Army. But specific career paths and promotion boards favor much higher scores. Knowing your target lets you focus training on the events with the most upside.

GoalTarget Total ScoreKey Events
Pass the ACFT36060 in every event
Competitive promotion (E5 board)450+Balanced; no weak events
Competitive promotion (E6, E7 board)500+Run + plank tend to be deciding events
Air Assault School450+, run under 16:00Two-mile run, sprint-drag-carry
Ranger School500+, near-max pushupsHRP, run, plank — endurance dominates
Special Forces Assessment540+ standard, near-max on most eventsAll events; no weak links allowed
Honor graduate, premier units570+Top 1-2% performance across all events

Three observations from analyzing real ACFT data across units: (1) The two-mile run is the most-failed event — running has the slowest fitness gains and the highest washout rate. (2) HRP scores correlate strongest with overall ACFT total; pushup proficiency tracks closely with general work capacity. (3) Plank is the most-improvable event quickly — most soldiers can move from a 60 to an 80 in 6-8 weeks of targeted training.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ACFT minimum passing score is 360 total points, with a minimum of 60 points on every individual event. Scoring 360 with one event under 60 is still a failure — you must clear 60 on all six events AND hit 360 total. Maximum possible score is 600 (100 per event).
