About this PFT estimate

The Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test (PFT) combines an upper-body strength event (pull-ups, or push-ups as an alternative), a core event (plank), and a 3-mile run. This calculator models the pull-up and plank version.

Standards differ between the PFT and the separate Combat Fitness Test (CFT) — see the marine corps cft calculator for that companion test.

Where these numbers come from

The formulas and default values in this calculator are based on:

  • General Marine Corps PFT event structure (pull-ups or push-ups, plank, 3-mile run)
  • scoring bands here are simplified approximations

These are planning estimates for training purposes. Check with a coach, trainer, or physician before starting a new program or maxing out.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use push-ups instead of pull-ups for this calculator?

This version models the pull-up option specifically. Push-up-based scoring uses a different scale not included here.

How is PFT different from CFT?

PFT measures general fitness (strength, core, run); CFT measures more combat-specific movements like ammo can lifts and a maneuver-under-fire course.

Do standards vary by age and sex?

Yes, official standards use age- and sex-specific tables. This calculator uses a single generic band.
