How this calculator works
The AFPC 2026 charts allocate 50 points to cardiorespiratory fitness, 20 to waist-to-height ratio, and 15 each to strength and core. The calculator uses the appropriate age and sex columns, truncates waist-to-height ratio to two decimals and takes each highest qualifying chart row. Strength and core each require their starred 2.5-point minimum and cardio its 35-point minimum, as well as a composite of at least 75. Body composition has no automatic-failure minimum. Official instructions include further assessment for some body-composition cases. AFSPECWAR/EOD standards, high-altitude corrections, other medical exemptions and their composite normalization are outside this form. The assigned 2 km walk mode checks the official time limit and reports the other components as a raw subtotal only; it does not invent a normalized composite. The result is an estimate for information only and is not medical advice.
Formula
Composite points = body-composition points + strength points + core points + aerobic points. Maximum = 20 + 15 + 15 + 50 = 100. Recorded WHtR = floor(100 x waist/height)/100. Event scores are discrete table lookups, not linear estimates.
Worked example
For a male under 25, 67 push-ups, 58 sit-ups, a 13:25 two-mile run and recorded WHtR 0.49 earn 15 + 15 + 50 + 20 = 100. At the starred minimums of 30 push-ups, 33 sit-ups and 19:45 run with WHtR 0.49, the composite is 60, which is below 75.

Frequently asked questions
Is the run still 1.5 miles?
The 2026 charts score a two-mile run or 20 m HAMR. Entering a 1.5-mile time would give the wrong result.
Why did a good composite still fail?
All physical component minimums must be met. A high total cannot compensate for missing the strength, core or aerobic minimum.
What year and measurement site are used?
The AFPC charts are effective 1 March 2026. AFMAN 36-2905 dated 24 March 2026 describes waist measurement between the lowest rib and iliac crest, repeated measurements and truncation. Transfer the officially recorded values.
