Marine Corps PFT calculator: USMC Physical Fitness Test score and class

How the PFT is scored

The PFT is the Marine Corps PT test for the first half of the year, 1 January to 30 June. Each event has its own table. Find your age group and sex, read down to the best row your result reaches, and the points beside that row are your score for the event. Add the three event scores for the total, out of 300.

The eight age groups are 17 to 20, 21 to 25, 26 to 30, 31 to 35, 36 to 40, 41 to 45, 46 to 50 and 51 and over. Men and women have separate columns in every event except the plank, which has one table for everyone.

A man aged 21 to 25 earns the full 100 points with 23 pull-ups and holds his minimum with 5. A woman in the same group earns 100 with 11 pull-ups and holds her minimum with 3. Push-ups are scored from the same group of tables but top out at 70 points: 87 push-ups for a man and 48 for a woman in that age group.

The three events

The commanding officer sets the order of the events on test day. All three events happen in one session of no more than two hours.

Pull-ups are done dead hang and are not timed. Push-ups are as many as possible in two minutes. The plank is held until a hand or foot touches the deck, or the body loses its straight line, and the time is recorded to the nearest second. The aerobic event is a 3 mile run over exactly three miles, and a treadmill is not allowed.

Minimums and the 150 line

Every event has a minimum, and reaching it earns 40 points. The one exception is women's pull-ups, where the minimum earns 60. For the plank the minimum is 1:10 for everyone, and the top is 3:45 for 100 points.

Three minimums together do not make a pass. At his minimum in all three events, a man aged 17 to 20 has 120 points, which is 30 short of the 150 needed. At least one event must earn more than its minimum.

Missing the minimum in a single event fails the whole test. A Marine with 100 points on two events and a run slower than the minimum has failed, even though the total is far above 150.

Classes

The order sets three classes by total points: first class is 235 to 300, second class is 200 to 234 and third class is 150 to 199. A total under 150 has no class. The calculator shows how many points remain to the next class up.

Pull-ups or push-ups

A Marine picks one and announces the choice before the event. The two cannot be combined. Pull-ups can reach 100 points. Push-ups reach 70, so a Marine who chooses push-ups can score at most 270.

Rowing in place of the run

The 5,000 meter row replaces the run on a Concept 2 rower. Marines aged 46 and over can choose it. Under 46, the order allows it only for a medical condition on the advice of a privileged health care provider, or for post-partum Marines, and the commanding officer must approve. The calculator scores the row at any age and says which rule applies. A row time is rounded to the nearest whole second, so 8.5 seconds is recorded as 8 and 8.6 seconds as 9.

Altitude tables for the run and the row

Where the test site is 4,500 feet or more above sea level, the order points to separate tables for the run and the row. Units are told to give Marines 30 days to adjust first. The pull-ups, push-ups and plank have no altitude tables and do not change. For a man aged 21 to 25 the run minimum moves from 27:40 to 29:10 and the top row from 18:00 to 19:30.

Combat arms Marines and the 210 line

MARADMIN 613/25 took effect on 1 January 2026. It covers Marines whose primary specialty is one of 32 combat arms specialties. Their PFT is scored on the male, age-normed table, and they need a total of 210 points.

The calculator shows two results for a woman in a combat arms specialty. One is her score on the female table, which is the one entered in the Marine Corps Training Information Management System. The other is her score on the male table, set against 210. A man sees one table, because it is his own.

A Marine who passes but ends the period under 210 goes on the remedial physical training program and may face reclassification or a promotion restriction. The message adds that until further guidance is published, no adverse or punitive action will be taken. Units record the male-table score by hand on a worksheet.

Examples

A man aged 28 does 15 pull-ups, holds the plank for 2:30 and runs 25:00. The pull-ups earn 73 points, the plank 70 and the run 58. The total is 201, which is second class. He needs 34 more points for first class.

A result between rows earns the highest row it reaches. Run 24:00 as a man aged 17 to 20 and the score is 63 points. At 24:05 he has not reached the 24:00 row, so he earns the 24:10 row's 62 points.

A woman aged 24 in a combat arms specialty does 40 push-ups, a 2:30 plank and a 25:00 run. On the female table that is 62, 70 and 76 points, a total of 208 and second class. On the male table the same results earn 40, 70 and 57, a total of 167. That is 43 points short of 210.

When the PFT is taken

Active duty Marines take the PFT once a calendar year between 1 January and 30 June. Reserve Marines follow the same window. A Marine can take more than one PFT in the period to improve a score, and each official test is entered. The Combat Fitness Test falls in the other half of the year, from 1 July to 31 December.

Body fat allowances at 285 and 250 points

Marine Corps Bulletin 6110 (20 December 2024, Administrative Change 1) says a current 285 PFT or CFT score gives an exemption from the body composition program. It also says a 250 to 284 score earns 1 percent more body fat allowance.

MARADMIN 066/26 (26 February 2026) words the same two allowances for the waist-to-height process. Marines who score 285 or higher on the PFT and CFT are allowed up to 26 percent body fat for men and 36 percent for women. At 250 or higher the limit rises by 1 percent.

The allowances apply only to a Marine with a first class PFT and a first class CFT in the current semiannual period. A Marine over those body fat percentages is processed for the program whatever the scores.

Where the PFT order is silent

Scoring a result that falls between two rows is left open by the order. So is the treatment of a result worse than the last row. This calculator gives the highest row reached and 0 points for a result worse than the last row, which also fails the event. The order refers readers to the Marine Corps' own scoring tool on the Marine Online system, which is not published with it. The score a unit records is the one that counts.

It also leaves out which date fixes your age group. It does not say whether a Marine who misses an event minimum but totals 150 or more has a class, and the calculator shows none. And it does not say what elevation counts for the altitude tables: the test site or the unit's station.

For combat arms Marines, MARADMIN 613/25 does not print the event minimums for women. It says units will tell Marines the minimums verbally. The male table is the only reading the message supports. It also does not say which score controls the class or the body composition allowances tied to PFT scores, and it does not mention the Combat Fitness Test.
