Air Force PT Calculator
Your test results
Estimate only. This calculator uses simplified scoring tables based on the published Air Force fitness assessment standards. Official scoring is done by a certified test administrator, and standards can change.
Example: 25-year-old man, 50 push-ups, 50 sit-ups, 11:00 run — 14 + 14 + 49 = 77 out of 100, a pass.
Behind the numbers
How your Air Force PT score is calculated
Your composite score is out of 100: the 1.5-mile run is worth up to 60 points, push-ups up to 20, and sit-ups up to 20. You pass with a total of 75 or higher — and you must also meet the minimum standard in every event, so a strong run cannot save a failed push-up count. For airmen under 30, the minimums are 33 push-ups, 42 sit-ups, and a 13:36 run for men, and 18 push-ups, 38 sit-ups, and a 16:22 run for women. Waist circumference is measured as a separate health check under the current standard and does not add points. Scoring thresholds relax with age, as shown in the tables below.
Worked example (25-year-old man): 50 push-ups fall in the 50–54 band = 14 points. 50 sit-ups fall in the 49–51 band = 14 points. An 11:00 run is 660 seconds, in the 11:00 band = 49 points. Total: 14 + 14 + 49 = 77 out of 100. 77 is above the 75 pass mark, and every event is above its minimum, so the result is a pass.
Scoring tables
Scoring tables (under 30)
Points by performance for airmen under 30. Older age groups use the same tables with the age adjustments below them.
Push-ups (max 20 points)
| Men (reps) | Points | Women (reps) | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 67 or more | 20 | 44 or more | 20 |
| 60–66 | 18 | 40–43 | 18 |
| 55–59 | 16 | 35–39 | 16 |
| 50–54 | 14 | 30–34 | 14 |
| 45–49 | 12 | 27–29 | 12 |
| 40–44 | 10 | 24–26 | 10 |
| 36–39 | 8 | 21–23 | 8 |
| 33–35 | 5 | 18–20 | 5 |
| Fewer than 33 | 0 (fail) | Fewer than 18 | 0 (fail) |
Sit-ups (max 20 points)
| Men (reps) | Points | Women (reps) | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 58 or more | 20 | 54 or more | 20 |
| 55–57 | 18 | 50–53 | 18 |
| 52–54 | 16 | 47–49 | 16 |
| 49–51 | 14 | 44–46 | 14 |
| 47–48 | 12 | 42–43 | 12 |
| 45–46 | 10 | 40–41 | 10 |
| 43–44 | 7 | 39 | 7 |
| 42 | 5 | 38 | 5 |
| Fewer than 42 | 0 (fail) | Fewer than 38 | 0 (fail) |
1.5-mile run (max 60 points)
| Men (time) | Points | Women (time) | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9:12 or faster | 60 | 10:23 or faster | 60 |
| 9:30 | 58 | 10:45 | 58 |
| 10:00 | 55 | 11:15 | 55 |
| 10:30 | 52 | 11:45 | 52 |
| 11:00 | 49 | 12:15 | 49 |
| 11:30 | 46 | 12:45 | 46 |
| 12:00 | 43 | 13:15 | 43 |
| 12:30 | 40 | 13:45 | 40 |
| 13:00 | 36 | 14:15 | 37 |
| 13:20 | 32 | 14:45 | 34 |
| 13:36 | 28 | 15:15 | 31 |
| — | — | 16:22 | 28 |
| Slower than 13:36 | 0 (fail) | Slower than 16:22 | 0 (fail) |
Run times in the table are the slowest time that earns the listed points. For example, a man under 30 running 11:00 earns 49 points, and 11:01 to 11:30 earns 46.
Age adjustments
| Age group | Push-up / sit-up credit | Run time credit |
|---|---|---|
| Under 30 | +0 reps | +0 seconds |
| 30–39 | +3 reps | +45 seconds |
| 40–49 | +6 reps | +90 seconds |
| 50–59 | +9 reps | +135 seconds |
| 60 and over | +12 reps | +180 seconds |
Example: a 40-year-old who does 47 push-ups is scored as 53 push-ups on the under-30 table. The minimums relax by the same credits.
Tips to raise your score
The run is worth 60 of 100 points, so run training gives the biggest score gain per week of practice.
Practice push-ups and sit-ups in strict test form — reps that do not meet the standard do not count.
Train the 1.5-mile distance at goal pace with interval sessions, not just slow distance runs.
Test yourself under the real time limits (one minute per strength event) so test day holds no surprises.
Rest the day before the test and arrive hydrated; a tired test is a low test.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
What score do I need to pass the Air Force fitness test?
A composite score of 75 or higher, plus meeting the minimum standard in each event. A total above 75 with a failed event is still a fail.
Does waist measurement count toward the score?
No. Under the current standard, waist circumference is measured as a separate health check and does not add points to the composite score.
How often do I take the fitness test?
Members who score 90 or above test once a year; members scoring below 90 test every six months.
What happens if I fail?
A failed assessment means a retest is required, and repeated failures can affect career progression. Your unit fitness program manager sets the retest date.
