ACFT Calculator

The Army Combat Fitness Test evaluates performance across six distinct events, assigning a point value ranging from 0 to 100 for each. The aggregate score is the sum of all individual event scores. The mathematical engine evaluates your raw inputs (e.g., weight lifted in pounds, seconds elapsed in running and sprinting events) against official Army grading scales. Functions like mdl_score = get_mdl_score(mdl) and tmr_score = get_tmr_score(tmr) map your physical output to standard scoring tables, while difference functions calculate exactly how much you need to improve to hit your desired benchmark.

Imagine a soldier inputs the following raw performance metrics into the calculator: a Maximum Deadlift (MDL) of 160 lbs, a Standing Power Throw (SPT) of 7.5 meters, Hand-Release Push-Ups (HRP) totaling 35 repetitions, a Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC) time of 2 minutes and 10 seconds, a Leg Tuck (LTK) of 5 repetitions (or alternatively a Plank time of 2 minutes and 30 seconds), and a Two-Mile Run (TMR) time of 16 minutes and 45 seconds. The calculator queries each corresponding scoring algorithm—yielding sub-scores for each category—and totals them up to display an aggregate score of 465, instantly verifying a successful passing grade well above the 60-point minimum threshold per event.

To maximize your score when using this calculator, always verify your demographic or alternative event inputs if applicable. Focus your training on events where your current score sits closest to the 60-point minimum threshold, as gaining points in weaker areas often yields a higher return on aggregate score than perfecting an already strong event. Regularly log your training sessions to track incremental improvements in speed and strength over time.
