How an AFT Score Converts to Promotion Points

AR 600-8-19, dated 6 March 2026, lists the AFT conversion in Table 3-4. The table applies a published point value to the Soldier's five-event total; it is not a percentage calculation and it is not the old six-event ACFT conversion.

The lookup works as follows:

A passing total from 300–304 earns 1 promotion point.
Most of the table advances in five-point AFT bands and three-point promotion increments: 350–354 earns 30, 400–404 earns 60, and 450–454 earns 90.
A score from 495–499 earns 117 points. A perfect 500 earns the 120-point maximum.
A total below 300 is not a passing AFT total and this calculator returns zero promotion points.

AFT Score-to-Promotion-Point Examples

Use the exact band containing the total score. Do not interpolate within a band.

AFT total	Promotion points	What it means
300–304	1	First passing conversion band
350–354	30	Same award anywhere inside the band
400–404	60	Mid-table example
450–454	90	Next increase begins at 455
500	120	Maximum AFT and promotion-point value

Permanent Profiles and Alternate Events

For promotion-score treatment, keep the actual score for every event performed. Enter 60 points for each waived event and for a passed authorized alternate aerobic event. Add those five entries to create the AFT composite used in Table 3-4. Do not average the events taken and do not multiply that average to create a 500-point total.

Example: a Soldier scores 72, 68, 75 and 70 on four performed events and has one waived event. The promotion composite is 72 + 68 + 75 + 70 + 60 = 345. A total of 345–349 converts to 27 promotion points.

Using the Result Correctly

This page performs the Table 3-4 arithmetic only. It does not establish whether a test is valid, whether a record has posted to IPPS-A, whether the Soldier is otherwise promotable, or what the monthly cutoff score will be. Check the official personnel record and current promotion guidance before relying on the number for a packet.
