AFQT Score Calculator
The AFQT composite is 2×VE + AR + MK. Enter the standard scores from your official ASVAB score sheet (not percentiles) to see your composite and the AFQT percentile it converts to.
Where the percentile comes from
The composite is converted with the official Department of Defense table that turns it into a percentile, based on a 1997 national sample of 18-to-23-year-olds. The table is public: it is Table 2.5 of "Development and Evaluation of the 1997 ASVAB Score Scale" (Defense Manpower Data Center, 2004), published on officialasvab.com. Your score sheet shows rounded standard scores, so the result here can differ from your official AFQT by about a point. The number printed on your score sheet is the one recruiters use.
