1. What is the USMC PFT Calculator 2021?

Definition: This calculator computes the total Physical Fitness Test (PFT) score for US Marines based on the 2021 scoring standards.

Purpose: It helps Marines and candidates calculate their overall PFT score by combining their performance in three events: pull-ups, plank, and run.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• Pullup Score — Points earned from pull-up performance (0-100)
• Plank Score — Points earned from plank hold time (0-100)
• Run Score — Points earned from 3-mile run time (0-100)

Explanation: Each event is scored separately (max 100 points each), and the total PFT score is the sum of all three event scores (max 300 points).

3. Importance of PFT Scoring

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

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your points for each event (0-100 points each). All values must be between 0-100.
