1. What is a Marine Corps PFT Calculator?

Definition: This calculator computes the total score for the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test (PFT) by summing the individual component scores.

Purpose: It helps Marines and candidates determine their overall PFT score based on their performance in pullups, plank, and run events.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

Where:

• Pullup Score — Points from pullup performance (0-100)
• Plank Score — Points from plank performance (0-100)
• Run Score — Points from 3-mile run performance (0-100)

Explanation: Each component is scored separately according to Marine Corps standards, then summed for the total PFT score (max 300).

Details: The PFT is a key component of Marine Corps fitness standards, affecting promotions, retention, and overall readiness.
