Pick your branch and profile

Choose US Navy PRT or US Air Force PT at the top, then set your sex and age. Age decides which bracket the standards come from, and the cutoffs ease as the bracket gets older — so an honest age matters as much as honest event numbers.

Enter each event result

Type your reps for push-ups (and sit-ups for the Air Force) and your times as MM:SS — for example 2:45 for a plank or 11:30 for the 1.5-mile run. Navy members can switch the cardio event between the 1.5-mile run and the 500-yard swim. Results update the moment every field is filled.

Read the scorecard, then plan

The result card shows your overall category or composite score, a pass/fail badge, and points for each event. Open the Standards tab to see the exact thresholds for your bracket, and the Improvement Planner to learn what each event needs to reach the next level.

Navy PRT overall score

Overall = (Push-up points + Plank points + Cardio points) / 3

Each Navy event is scored 0–100 by comparing your result to the published age- and sex-based standard, then the three event scores are averaged. The average maps to a category: Outstanding (90+), Excellent (75–89), Good (60–74), Satisfactory (50–59), Probationary (40–49), or Fail.

Air Force PFA composite

Composite = Run points (max 60) + Push-up points (max 20) + Sit-up points (max 20)

The Air Force model totals three component scores out of 100. The composite is rated Excellent at 90.0 or above, Satisfactory from 75.0 to 89.9, and Unsatisfactory below 75.0. The 1.5-mile run carries the most weight at 60 of the 100 points.

Point interpolation

points = lerp(performance, between published anchor performances)

Between the published category thresholds, points are interpolated linearly. More reps or faster run/swim times earn more points; the score is clamped to the 0–100 range for each event.

Methodology

Navy PRT events (push-ups, forearm plank, and a 1.5-mile run or 500-yard swim) are each scored 0–100 against published age- and sex-based standards and averaged into an overall category (Outstanding through Fail). The Air Force PFA is modeled as a composite out of 100 — up to 60 points for the 1.5-mile run, 20 for one-minute push-ups, and 20 for one-minute sit-ups — rated Excellent (≥90.0), Satisfactory (75.0–89.9), or Unsatisfactory (<75.0). Point values between the published category thresholds are linearly interpolated.

Assumption: The athlete performs each event under standard test conditions and counts only repetitions or hold time that meet form requirements.

Assumption: Age selects the correct bracket and the entered sex matches the standard applied; the Navy cardio component is either the 1.5-mile run or the 500-yard swim.

Assumption: Intermediate point values are linearly interpolated between published category-threshold performances rather than read from every cell of the official scoresheet.

Limitations & guidance

Interpolated point values can differ by a few points from a command's official scoresheet or the Navy PRIMS / Air Force MyFitness system, so this tool is an estimate and not an official record.

It does not model body-composition or waist-measurement components, medical waivers, alternate-event substitutions beyond the Navy 500-yard swim, or service-specific exemptions.

Standards are periodically revised by each service; confirm the current chart for your test date before relying on a result.

Professional guidance: This calculator is for educational and training purposes only and is not an official fitness assessment or military, medical, or fitness advice. Begin any new exercise program in consultation with a medical provider, and confirm any score that affects your record with a certified test administrator or your unit fitness leader using current service standards.

Air Force Physical Fitness Program (DAFMAN 36-2905) and PT scoring - U.S. Air Force — Air Force Personnel Center

PRT (Physical Readiness Test) The US Navy's semi-annual fitness assessment: a maximum-effort push-up set in two minutes, a forearm plank held for time, and a cardio event (1.5-mile run or an approved alternate such as a 500-yard swim).

PFA (Physical Fitness Assessment) The US Air Force fitness test. In the composite model used here it sums points from the 1.5-mile run, one minute of push-ups, and one minute of sit-ups for a single score out of 100.

Performance category The Navy's named result tier — Outstanding, Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Probationary, or Fail — usually shown with a High, Medium, or Low sub-level that marks where you sit within that tier's point band.

Composite score The Air Force's single 0–100 total across the three components. A composite of 90 or higher is Excellent, 75 to 89.9 is Satisfactory, and anything under 75 is Unsatisfactory.

Age bracket The age band that selects which standard applies — the Navy uses bands from 17–19 up to 65+, and the Air Force uses under-25 up to 60+. Required performances ease as the bracket gets older.

Forearm plank The Navy's core event since 2021, replacing curl-ups. You hold a straight-body plank on your forearms for as long as possible; the time in minutes and seconds maps to a point value.

Petty Officer, age 24

Navy PRT, male, run event

Push-ups (2 min) 66 Plank 2:36 1.5-mile run 11:06

Roughly Excellent-level push-ups and a solid plank pair with a mid-Good run, so the three event scores average into the Good-to-Excellent range — comfortably passing. The Improvement Planner shows that trimming the run time is the fastest way to nudge the overall average toward Excellent.

✈️

Airman, age 30

Air Force PFA, female

1.5-mile run 12:00 Push-ups (1 min) 32 Sit-ups (1 min) 44

Strong sit-ups and push-ups bank most of the 40 available strength points, while a moderate run earns a large share of the 60 run points. The composite lands in the Satisfactory band; shaving about a minute off the run is what pushes the total across the 90-point Excellent line.

Service members are tested on physical readiness on a recurring cycle, and the score decides far more than bragging rights — it feeds promotion boards, special-duty eligibility, and retention. This calculator estimates both the US Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) and the US Air Force Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) so you can see where you stand and what it takes to move up a tier.

How the scoring works

The Navy PRT scores three events — a two-minute push-up set, a forearm plank held for time, and a cardio event (the 1.5-mile run or an approved alternate such as the 500-yard swim). Each event is graded 0–100 against the standard for your age bracket and sex, and the three are averaged into an overall category from Outstanding down to Fail.

The Air Force PFA uses a composite out of 100: up to 60 points for the 1.5-mile run, 20 for one minute of push-ups, and 20 for one minute of sit-ups. The total is rated Excellent at 90 or above, Satisfactory from 75 to 89.9, and Unsatisfactory below 75.

Inputs and what they mean

Enter reps as whole numbers and times as minutes and seconds (MM:SS). Age sets your bracket, so be precise — the difference between the 39 and 40 brackets can change a category. Navy members choose between the run and the swim for the cardio component; the Air Force model here uses the 1.5-mile run. Faster run and swim times raise your score, while more push-ups, sit-ups, or a longer plank do the same for those events.

Limits and what this tool cannot do

This calculator is a study aid, not an official record. It models the published component structure and category thresholds and interpolates the points between them, so an individual point value can differ by a few from your command's official scoresheet or the Navy PRIMS / Air Force MyFitness system. It also does not model body-composition or waist-measurement components, medical waivers, alternate-event substitutions beyond the Navy swim, or service-specific exemptions. Always confirm an official result against the authoritative chart and your unit fitness leader before relying on it for a record.

What does this calculator compute?+

It estimates your US Navy PRT category or US Air Force PFA composite score from the events you enter — push-ups, plank or sit-ups, and a 1.5-mile run or 500-yard swim — adjusted for your age bracket and sex. It returns per-event points, a pass/fail badge, and the overall category or rating.

How accurate are the scores?+

The component structure, age and sex brackets, and the category and rating thresholds follow the published Navy PRT (forearm-plank standard) and the Air Force composite PFA model. Point values between published anchors are interpolated, so a result can differ by a few points from your command's official scoresheet. Treat it as a close estimate and verify official numbers in PRIMS or MyFitness.

What units does it expect?+

Reps are whole numbers (for example, 60 push-ups). Times are entered as minutes and seconds in MM:SS form — 2:45 for a plank, 11:30 for the 1.5-mile run, or 9:30 for the 500-yard swim. The calculator converts times to seconds internally before scoring.

Why did my category change when I edited my age?+

Standards ease as you move into an older bracket, so the same performance can score differently on either side of a bracket boundary (for example, turning 40 in the Navy or crossing into the 30–34 Air Force band). Enter your current age so the right standard is applied.

Can I share or save my result?+

Yes. The calculator encodes your branch, profile, and event inputs into the page URL, so the Share button copies a link that reopens your exact scenario. Your most recent entries are also saved in your browser so they reload on your next visit.

Does this replace the official test?+

No. It is an educational estimate for training and goal-setting. Official scores are recorded by certified test administrators using current service standards, and may include components — such as body composition or alternate cardio events — that this tool does not model. Confirm anything that affects your record with your unit fitness leader.
