1. What is the USMC PFT Calculator 2024?

Definition: This calculator computes the total Physical Fitness Test (PFT) score for U.S. Marines based on the 2024 scoring standards.

Purpose: It helps Marines and candidates determine their overall fitness score by combining performance in pullups, plank, and run events.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: Each event is scored separately according to USMC standards, then summed for a total score (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 from each event (0-100). Refer to official USMC PFT charts to determine your individual event scores before using this calculator.
