Air Force PT Calculator

The U.S. Air Force Physical Fitness Assessment scores three components on a 100-point composite scale: a 1.5-mile run (cardiorespiratory, the largest share), push-ups, and a core component (sit-ups or the cross-leg reverse crunch). A composite of 75 or higher passes. This calculator estimates your composite and pass/fail status.

Component Weights

How the Composite Is Built

Each component is scored between a minimum performance and the maximum performance for your age and sex. The run is worth up to 60 points because aerobic fitness is the strongest predictor of overall health and operational readiness. The two strength-endurance components contribute up to 20 points each. Add the three and you have your composite out of 100.

Reference Anchors (Age 25–29)

Worked Example

A 27-year-old male runs 1.5 miles in 11:00, does 45 push-ups, and 48 sit-ups. The run falls partway between the 9:12 max and 13:36 min (about 36 of 60 points), the push-ups score around 15 of 20, and sit-ups around 9 of 20 — a composite in the low-to-mid 60s, which would fail. Cutting the run to about 10:00 lifts the run component sharply.

Why the Run Dominates

Because the run is worth 60 of 100 points, the fastest way to raise a borderline score is almost always to improve the run. A 30-second improvement on the 1.5-mile run can add several composite points.

Note: This calculator estimates the composite using linear scoring between the published minimum and maximum anchors for the 25–29 reference band. Official AFI 36-2905 charts differ by exact age group and update periodically. Use this as a training aid, not an official scorecard, and consult your unit fitness program manager.
