Air Force PT calculator
Pick the events you take, enter your results, age and sex. The calculator scores each component on the official Air Force charts effective 1 March 2026 (cardio up to 50 points, body composition 20, strength 15, core 15).
Air Force Physical Fitness Readiness Assessment (PFRA): the rules
- Four components: cardio (2-mile run or 20-meter HAMR), strength (1 minute of push-ups or 2 minutes of hand-release push-ups), core (1 minute of sit-ups, 2 minutes of cross-leg reverse crunches or a forearm plank) and body composition (waist-to-height ratio).
- The official charts give cardio 35–50 points, body composition 0–20, strength 2.5–15 and core 2.5–15, up to 100 in total. They are split into nine age groups, from under 25 to 60 and over, for men and women; the waist-to-height scale is the same for everyone.
- Waist-to-height ratio of 0.49 or less earns 20 points; each 0.01 above that costs points, down to 0 points at 0.60 or more.
- Tests from 1 March to 30 June 2026 were diagnostic; official testing under the new standards resumed on 1 July 2026, with an assessment every six months.
- The charts do not state a passing score. The Air Force said on 6 January 2026 that an updated AFMAN 36-2905 would be published; until we can read it, this calculator shows points only.

FAQ
Why doesn’t the calculator say pass or fail?
Because the official charts don’t say where the passing line is, and the updated AFMAN 36-2905 that sets it had not been published when we last checked. Other calculators quote different minimums for the new test; we only show what the official charts state.
How is the waist-to-height ratio measured here?
Waist divided by height, rounded to two decimals — the same values as the official waist-by-height lookup chart. Enter both in inches, or type the ratio directly.
Run or HAMR — which scores better?
Both are scored on their own chart from 35 to 50 points, so compare your results on the two charts. Since January 2026 the Air Force has allowed either one at each six-monthly assessment.
Where do the numbers come from?
From “USAF Physical Fitness Readiness Assessment Scoring (Effective 1 Mar 26)”, the PFRA scoring charts dated 17 March 2026 on afpc.af.mil, extracted mechanically from the PDF and checked against it, and from the Air Force announcement of 6 January 2026 for the events and dates.
