1. What is a PFT Calculator for USMC Standards?

Definition: This calculator computes the total Physical Fitness Test (PFT) score according to United States Marine Corps standards by summing three component scores.

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

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 time (0-100)
• Run Score — Points from 3-mile run time (0-100)

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

3. Importance of PFT Scoring

Details: The PFT evaluates Marines' physical readiness. Minimum passing score varies by age/gender, with higher scores required for promotion.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your points for each event (0-100). Refer to official USMC scoring tables to determine your points for each component.
