Navy PRT Calculator

The Navy PRT calculator is a military fitness scoring tool that estimates your U.S. Navy Physical Readiness Test score based on your sex, age group, and performance across three events. It applies age- and sex-specific standards to return a total PRT score — helping sailors assess readiness and identify areas for improvement before their next assessment.

What Is the Navy PRT?

The Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) is a mandatory biannual fitness assessment for U.S. Navy sailors, designed to ensure physical readiness for operational duties. It evaluates muscular endurance, core stability, and cardiovascular fitness through three events — forearm plank, push-ups, and a 1.5-mile run or approved cardio alternative. Standards are age- and sex-specific, and failing the PRT can lead to Formal Evaluation Probation (FEP), affecting performance evaluations and career progression.

How the Navy PRT Calculator Works

Inputs

• Sex — default: Male (also: Female)

• Age — default: 17–19 years (select your age bracket)

• Forearm planks — maximum plank hold time (min/sec)

• Push ups — total push-ups completed in 2 minutes (/2 min)

• Your cardio — default: 1.5-mile run (also: 500-yard swim, 450-meter swim, 2-kilometer row)

• 1.5-mile run — total run time (min/sec)

Results

• Your PRT score — auto-calculated total score

How to Use the Navy PRT Calculator — Step by Step

Example 1: Male, Age 17–19, Standard Run

Sex = Male, Age = 17–19. Forearm plank = 3 min 30 sec. Push-ups in 2 min = 50 reps. Cardio = 1.5-mile run. Run time = 11 min 00 sec.

Enter all values — the calculator applies age- and sex-normed scoring tables and returns your total PRT score instantly.

Example 2: Switching to Swim Alternative

If approved for an alternate cardio event, select your option — 500-yard swim, 450-meter swim, or 2-kilometer row — from the cardio dropdown. Enter your time for that event and the calculator adjusts scoring automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does PRT mean in the Navy?

PRT stands for Physical Readiness Test — the U.S. Navy's mandatory biannual fitness assessment. It measures muscular endurance, core stability, and cardiovascular fitness across three events.

What is a passing score for the Navy PRT?

There is no single fixed passing score — sailors must meet the minimum performance standard in each individual event based on their age and sex. Scoring below the minimum in any single event results in a PRT failure regardless of overall total.

Is Satisfactory a passing score on the Navy PRT?

Yes — a Satisfactory score (50–59 average) is considered a passing result on the Navy PRT. However, consistently scoring at the Satisfactory level may still affect performance evaluations and promotion opportunities.

How often do sailors take the Navy PRT?

The Navy PRT is administered twice per year — commonly called Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. Sailors are expected to maintain fitness standards year-round, not just during testing periods.
