What is a Navy PRT?
The Navy PRT Calculator estimates your score on the US Navy's Physical Readiness Test, the biannual fitness assessment required of every active-duty and reserve Sailor under OPNAVINST 6110 standards. The PRT evaluates three components — muscular endurance via push-ups, core endurance via curl-ups, and cardiovascular fitness via a timed 1.5-mile run — each scored on a 0-to-100 scale against tables that vary by age band and sex. This calculator lets you enter your sex, age, push-up count, curl-up count, and run time to get an instant estimate of your event scores and overall PRT score, along with the corresponding performance category (Outstanding, Excellent, Satisfactory, Probationary, or Failure).
Unlike general fitness scores, the Navy PRT has direct career consequences: it's a condition of continued service, and it factors into evaluations and promotion recommendations. Sailors preparing for an upcoming test cycle can use this tool to identify which event needs the most work before it counts. For a broader picture of body composition heading into PRT season, pair this with the BMI Calculator or Body Fat Calculator.
How to use this Navy PRT calculator
- Select your Sex (Male or Female) — standards tables differ between the two.
- Enter your Age using the slider or number field; the calculator automatically applies the correct age band (17-19 through 60+).
- Enter your Push-ups completed in the standard 2-minute test.
- Enter your Curl-ups completed in the standard 2-minute test.
- Enter your 1.5-Mile Run Time in seconds (for example, a 12:00 run is 720 seconds).
- Review the Overall PRT Score card, which shows your category label and a per-event breakdown of push-up, curl-up, and run scores.
- Adjust any input to see scores update instantly, and use the breakdown to identify which event to prioritize in your next training block.
Formula & Methodology
Each event score is calculated by comparing your performance to age-band and sex-specific minimum (Satisfactory, 50 points) and maximum (Outstanding, 100 points) benchmarks: For push-ups and curl-ups (higher reps = higher score):If reps ≥ max: score = 100 If reps < min: score = (reps ÷ min) × 50 Otherwise: score = 50 + ((reps − min) ÷ (max − min)) × 50For the 1.5-mile run (lower time = higher score):If seconds ≤ fastest: score = 100 If seconds ≥ slowest: score = max(0, 50 − ((seconds − slowest) ÷ slowest) × 50) Otherwise: score = 50 + ((slowest − seconds) ÷ (slowest − fastest)) × 50The Overall PRT Score is the simple average of the three event scores:Overall Score = (Push-up Score + Curl-up Score + Run Score) ÷ 3Worked example: A 25-year-old male Sailor completes 55 push-ups, 60 curl-ups, and runs 1.5 miles in 12:00 (720 seconds). Against the 25-29 male standards (push-ups 42-84, curl-ups 47-92, run 590-800 seconds), this yields a push-up score around 65, a curl-up score around 64, and a run score around 65 — for an overall PRT score near 65, placing the Sailor in the Satisfactory-to-Excellent range depending on rounding. The scoring bands used in this calculator are built from publicly documented Navy PRT standards and are intended as a close training estimate. Official record scores are determined by your command using the current OPNAVINST 6110 tables, which are periodically updated — always confirm your official score with your Command Fitness Leader.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) is the biannual fitness assessment every active-duty and reserve Sailor must pass under OPNAVINST 6110 standards. It measures muscular endurance through push-ups and curl-ups (or a forearm plank) and cardiovascular fitness through a 1.5-mile run or 500-yard swim. Passing the PRT is a condition of continued service, and repeated failures can trigger administrative separation.
Each event — push-ups, curl-ups, and the run — is scored on a 0-to-100 scale using age- and sex-specific standards tables. The three event scores are averaged to produce the overall PRT score, which then maps to a category from Outstanding down to Failure. This calculator applies the same averaging method used in official Navy scoring.
A minimum score of 50 in each individual event, corresponding to the Satisfactory category, is required to pass. Scoring below 50 in any single event is treated as a failure of that event, even if your overall average is higher. Sailors aiming for promotion competitiveness typically target Excellent (75+) or Outstanding (90+) scores.
The Navy uses separate standards tables for male and female Sailors across ten age bands, from 17-19 up to 60 and older. Younger Sailors are generally held to higher rep counts for the same score, and standards gradually relax with each successive age band. This calculator applies representative published benchmarks for each age-band and sex combination.
The Navy allows a forearm plank hold as an alternative to curl-ups in current PRT administrations, with its own time-based standards table. This calculator currently scores the curl-up event only; a future update may add plank-time scoring as an alternative input.
Sailors who are medically cleared may substitute a 500-yard swim for the 1.5-mile run as their cardio event, with separate time standards for each. Both options are scored 0-to-100 using the same underlying logic — faster times earn higher scores. This calculator scores the run option; swim-time scoring can be approximated using the run score bands as a rough proxy but is not a substitute for official swim standards.
Body composition assessment (BCA) is a separate pass/fail screening that happens before the PRT and does not factor into the numeric PRT score itself. Sailors who exceed body-fat standards may be restricted from taking the full PRT until they meet BCA requirements. This calculator focuses only on the three scored PRT events.
The scoring bands used here are built from publicly documented Navy PRT standards and are intended as a close approximation for training and estimation purposes. Official command fitness leaders (CFLs) use the current OPNAVINST 6110 tables for actual record scores, which may be updated periodically. Always confirm your official score with your command's PRT administrators.
Failing any single event — even with strong scores elsewhere — counts as an overall PRT failure under Navy policy, regardless of the averaged score this calculator shows. Multiple failures within a set period can lead to mandatory fitness enhancement programs or administrative action. Use this tool to identify your weakest event and focus training there.
Progressive overload with structured push-up and curl-up interval training two to three times a week typically improves scores within 6-8 weeks. Pairing strength work with core-stability drills and adequate recovery reduces injury risk while building toward the next PRT cycle. Tracking your [BMI](/bmi-calculator/) and [body fat percentage](/body-fat-calculator/) alongside your PRT prep can help you monitor overall fitness trends.
Because all three events are averaged equally, a very fast or very slow run time has the same weight as push-ups or curl-ups, but run scores tend to have wider swings near the pass/fail threshold. Estimating your [target heart rate](/target-heart-rate-calculator/) zones can help structure interval training to shave meaningful time off your 1.5-mile run.
Yes — pairing your training plan with a [calories burned calculator](/calories-burned-calculator/) and a [TDEE calculator](/tdee-calculator/) can help you fuel workouts appropriately without under- or over-eating during a PRT prep cycle.
