Calculate a U.S. Air Force Physical Fitness Readiness Assessment score using the standards effective July 1, 2026. The current PFRA includes a scored waist-to-height ratio, a 2-mile run or 20-meter HAMR, one muscular-strength event, and one core-endurance event.
July 2026 Air Force PFRA
The revised program was introduced through a March-June 2026 diagnostic transition. Official testing under the final scoring charts resumed July 1, 2026. The prior 1.5-mile, 60/20/20 calculator does not represent the current PFRA.
| Component | Maximum points | Current options |
|---|---|---|
| Cardiorespiratory | 50 | 2-mile run or 20-meter HAMR |
| Body composition | 20 | Waist-to-height ratio |
| Muscular strength | 15 | 1-minute push-ups or 2-minute hand-release push-ups |
| Core endurance | 15 | 1-minute sit-ups, 2-minute cross-leg reverse crunches, or forearm plank |
WHtR Measurement and Scoring
Official WHtR is waist circumference divided by height, with the ratio truncated to two decimal places. Height is recorded to the nearest half inch. The waist is measured three times at the midpoint between the lowest rib and the top of the hip bone; the three closest values are averaged and rounded down to the nearest half inch. The point chart awards 20 points at 0.49 or lower and 0 points at 0.60 or higher.
Pass Rules
A full PFRA is Excellent at 90 or above, Satisfactory from 75 through 89.9, and Unsatisfactory below 75 or when any required physical-component minimum is missed. Body composition has no component minimum. A WHtR above 0.55 combined with an unsatisfactory PFRA triggers the current secondary body-fat assessment process.
Limitations
This calculator is for planning and chart lookup. It does not determine exemptions, medical clearance, altitude correction, walk-test handling, secondary body-fat assessment, diagnostic-election limits, command action, or the official result recorded on AF Form 4446 and in myFitness.
