Acft Point Calculator
The ACFT Point Calculator helps soldiers, recruits, and trainers determine the exact points earned in each event of the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) and calculate the total score. By entering individual event performance metrics, you can instantly see your total points and whether you meet Army standards.
This calculator is ideal for tracking fitness progress, planning training, and preparing for promotions or MOS requirements.
What Is an ACFT Point Calculator?
The ACFT Point Calculator is a tool that converts your performance in each of the six ACFT events into points according to official Army scoring tables. It ensures accurate scoring, provides immediate feedback, and helps identify areas needing improvement.
The six ACFT events include:
- 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift (MDL)
- Standing Power Throw (SPT)
- Hand-Release Push-Up (HRP)
- Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC)
- Leg Tuck (LTK) / Plank (PLK)
- 2-Mile Run (2MR)
Key Uses of the Calculator
- Calculate individual event points
- Determine total ACFT score (out of 600)
- Track progress over time
- Evaluate readiness for Army standards
- Plan targeted training for weaker events
- Compare performance with peers or Army benchmarks
Essential Inputs
To calculate ACFT points accurately, the following inputs are required:
1. 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift
Weight lifted in pounds or kilograms.
2. Standing Power Throw
Distance thrown in meters.
3. Hand-Release Push-Ups
Number of correct repetitions.
4. Sprint-Drag-Carry
Time in minutes and seconds.
5. Leg Tuck / Plank
Number of leg tucks or plank hold duration in seconds.
6. 2-Mile Run
Time to complete in minutes and seconds.
7. Age & Gender (Optional)
Used for age-adjusted scoring tables (if applicable).
Expected Outputs
The ACFT Point Calculator provides:
- Points earned per event
- Total score out of 600
- Pass/fail status for each event
- Recommendations for improving weaker events
How Points Are Calculated
- MDL, SPT, HRP, LTK/PLK: Points increase with performance (weight lifted, distance thrown, or repetitions).
- SDC & 2-Mile Run: Points decrease as completion time increases.
- Total Score: Sum of points from all six events:
Total ACFT Score=MDL+SPT+HRP+SDC+LTK/PLK+2MR
Minimum points per event: 60
Maximum points per event: 100
Example Calculation
Event Performance:
- Deadlift: 200 lbs → 70 points
- Power Throw: 8 m → 75 points
- Push-Ups: 40 reps → 85 points
- Sprint-Drag-Carry: 2:30 min → 80 points
- Leg Tuck: 8 reps → 90 points
- 2-Mile Run: 15:30 min → 80 points
Total Score = 70 + 75 + 85 + 80 + 90 + 80 = 480 / 600
Interpretation: Soldier passes all events and earns an Excellent score.
