USMC PFT Calculator
Plug in your pull-ups or push-ups, plank hold, and 3-mile run time. Get your official-style 300-point score, your class, and a flag on any event that’s under the 40-point floor before it fails your whole test.
- Age-banded, sex-normed scoring for pull-ups, push-ups, plank, and the run.
- Built-in 2026 combat-arms check: sex-neutral scale, 210-point floor.
- Catches the trap most calculators miss: a strong total that still fails on one event.
Three events, 300 points, one rule that trips people up
The Marine Corps PFT is pull-ups or push-ups, a plank hold, and a 3-mile run. Each event is worth up to 100 points, except push-ups, which cap at 70 because pull-ups are considered the harder, more honest strength test. Add the three event scores and you’ve got your total.
The 40-point floor
Here’s what most simple calculators leave out: your total doesn’t matter if any single event is under 40 points. A Marine who runs a 21:00, holds a 3:00 plank, and manages 4 pull-ups can rack up 210 points and still fail the test outright, because 4 pull-ups scores under 40 on the pull-up table. Pass each event on its own first. The total is a scoreboard, not the pass/fail line.
Each event must be ≥ 40 points independently
Why age and sex change the numbers
A 45-year-old scoring 100 points on pull-ups isn’t doing fewer reps because the Corps is being generous — the tables are built from real performance data across age brackets, so a 47-year-old gunnery sergeant and a 19-year-old private can both hit “excellent” for their body and training age. It’s the same idea behind age-graded times in road races.
The 2026 combat-arms change
Effective January 1, 2026, Marines in combat arms occupational specialties, infantry, artillery, reconnaissance, and similar billets, score the PFT on a single sex-neutral scale using the male age-normed tables, and must reach 210 points minimum, per MARADMIN 613/25. Everyone outside combat arms still scores on the standard age- and sex-normed tables. Check the box in the calculator above if this applies to you.
The same update replaced the old height-and-weight screen with a waist-to-height ratio of 0.52 or less, measured separately from the PFT itself.
Score your test in four steps
Same process whether you’re prepping for record PFT, an initial strength test, or just tracking progress between cycles.
Pick your event
Pull-ups can reach the full 100 points. Push-ups top out at 70 — a real ceiling on your total if you go that route.
Confirm your band
Use your age and sex as of test day, not your birthday last year. Bands run 17–20 through 51+.
Enter honest numbers
Only count reps and holds that would pass in an official test — no half reps, no sagging hips on the plank.
Read the floor, not just the total
Check every event hit 40+ before you trust the class the total suggests.
What each event tests, and how it’s capped
The plank replaced crunches in 2022 for a reason — it’s a better proxy for the core stability Marines actually need under a pack, and it’s scored the same way regardless of age or sex.
| Event | Max points | Scored by | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pull-ups | 100 | Age band + sex | Relative upper-body and grip strength |
| Push-ups | 70 | Age band + sex | Upper-body muscular endurance |
| Plank | 100 | One table, all Marines | Core stability and trunk endurance |
| 3-mile run | 100 | Age band + sex | Cardiovascular endurance |
Marines 46 and older may substitute a 5,000-meter row for the run, with command approval available to younger Marines who are postpartum or injured. The calculator above scores the run; ask your PT rep about row conversion tables if that applies to you.
Where your total lands
Class isn’t cosmetic — it shows up on fitness reports and factors into competitive boards. The gap between a 234 and a 235 is the gap between 2nd and 1st Class.
| Class | Total score | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Class | 235–300 | Every event ≥ 40 |
| 2nd Class | 200–234 | Every event ≥ 40 |
| 3rd Class | 150–199 | Every event ≥ 40 |
| Fail | Below 150 | Or any event under 40 |
Combat arms 210-point floor
This is separate from the class tiers above. Combat-arms Marines are held to a hard 210-point minimum on the sex-neutral scale regardless of which class tier that total happens to land in. Miss 210 and you’re below standard for your MOS, even if 210 would otherwise read as solid 2nd Class territory.
Force Fitness Instructor eligibility runs higher still — 235+ on both the PFT and CFT — and scores of 285+ on both tests can qualify a Marine for exemption from the standard body-composition check.
Common reasons Marines run these numbers
Boot camp & OCS prep
Baseline your pull-ups and run pace early enough to build the 8–12 weeks of volume most recruits actually need to move up a class.
Combat arms 210 check
Run the sex-neutral scale before your test cycle so the 210 floor isn’t a surprise on record day.
Competitive boards & cutting scores
Meritorious promotion and school selection boards often weight PFT/CFT heavily — know your class before you submit a package.
Marines 46 and older
Check whether the row substitution or the adjusted run window changes your target time before you commit to a training block.

Run your numbers, spot the weak event, and train the thing that’s actually capping your score.
This calculator is a training and planning estimate built from published USMC event standards and the January 1, 2026 combat-arms and body-composition updates. It is not your official record score. Your command, Marine Online, and official PES tools determine the score that counts — verify current standards against MCO 6100.13A and fitness.marines.mil before your test.
