What Is the Navy PRT Calculator?
This Navy PRT Calculator estimates your U.S. Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) score. It is specific to the United States Navy and uses a simplified, illustrative scoring model for the three standard events: the forearm plank, push-ups, and the 1.5-mile cardio run. Because the official Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS) tables change periodically and vary by exact age band and gender, this tool gives a clear, easy-to-understand estimate rather than an official score.
How to Use It
Select your gender and enter your age. Then enter your plank hold time in seconds, your total push-ups in 2 minutes, and your 1.5-mile run time in minutes. The calculator converts each event to a 0–100 score and averages them for an overall PRT score and category.
The Formula Explained
Each event is scored on a linear scale between a minimum (passing) threshold and a maximum (Outstanding) threshold:
$$S = 50 + 50 \cdot \frac{x - x_{min}}{x_{max} - x_{min}}$$, clamped to 0–100.
For timed events (plank, run) better means more time held / less time run, so the run is inverted. The overall score is the simple average of the three event scores: $$\text{Overall} = \frac{S_{plank} + S_{pushups} + S_{run}}{3}$$.
Worked Example
A sailor holds a 2:00 (120 s) plank, does 60 push-ups, and runs 1.5 miles in 11:00. With plank min 90 s / max 230 s → score \(\approx 50 + 50 \times \frac{120 - 90}{140} \approx 60.7\); push-ups min 30 / max 80 → \(50 + 50 \times \frac{60 - 30}{50} = 80\); run (inverted) min 14 min / max 9 min → \(50 + 50 \times \frac{14 - 11}{14 - 9} = 80\). Overall \(\approx \frac{60.7 + 80 + 80}{3} \approx 73.6\) — a solid "Good" result.
FAQ
Is this the official Navy score? No. It is an estimate to help you train. Always check current PRIMS standards for your exact age/gender band.
What passes the PRT? Generally each event must meet at least the Satisfactory minimum; this tool maps the minimum to a score of 50.
Can I use curl-ups instead of plank? The Navy replaced curl-ups with the forearm plank; this calculator uses plank seconds.
