Built for NSmen: your birthday window, your incentives, your rules. The calculator below is pre-set to the NSman profile — 51 to pass, cash incentives from 61, and the partial-exemption and partial-failure rules applied automatically.
Partial exemption uses MINDEF's pro-rated passing standards: Pass = 39 of 75 (one static exempt) or 26 of 50 (run only). Per MINDEF, NSmen exempted from any static station are NOT eligible for monetary incentive awards.

What NSmen specifically need to know
Your window is birthday to birthday — miss it entirely and you are a defaulter, not a fail (window guide). Age 35+? Clear your SAF Health Screening Programme (HSP) with Low Cardiac Risk before you can take IPPT. Medically exempt from a station? Switch on the exemption options in the calculator — MINDEF's pro-rated standards (39/75 or 26/50) apply, and partially exempt NSmen are not eligible for monetary incentives. Money timing and retake top-ups: IPPT incentives. Sessions instead of a test: NS FIT guide.
How to Use This IPPT Calculator
Pick your profile — NSman, NSF/Regular or Pre-enlistee (the pass mark differs), and tick the Commando/Diver/Guard or medical-exemption boxes if they apply to you.
Enter your results — your age, push-ups and sit-ups in 1 minute, and your 2.4km run time. Your score updates live.
Read your result — total score out of 100, your award and incentive, how many points you need for the next award, and the cheapest next point in each station.
Plan the gap — use the Target Planner for the exact run time your target award needs, then print your scorecard or copy your result link to share it.
IPPT Scoring at a Glance
The same performance earns different points in different age groups, across 14 age bands from under-22 to 58–60. Run scores use 10-second bands.
How IPPT scoring works: three stations, one 100-point total, adjusted for your age group.
💪
25 pts
Push-Ups
Repetitions in 1 minute. Tests upper-body strength and endurance.
🤸
25 pts
Sit-Ups
Repetitions in 1 minute. Tests core and abdominal endurance.
🏃
50 pts
2.4km Run
Timed run. Worth half your total score — the station that moves your result most.
Worked Example — a 66-Point Score, Line by Line
For an NSman aged 25–27: 30 push-ups = 17 points, 35 sit-ups = 18 points and a 12:40 2.4km run = 31 points. Total: 66 points = Pass with Incentive ($200). Every number is a direct lookup in the verified scoring tables — try it in the calculator above.
Your three station points are added: push-ups (max 25) + sit-ups (max 25) + 2.4km run (max 50) = 100. Points are looked up from the scoring table for your age group. See the full IPPT points table.
What score do I need to pass IPPT?
NSmen: 51 to pass, 61 for Pass with Incentive ($200), 75 for Silver ($300), 85 for Gold ($500) — with at least 1 point in every station. NSF, Regulars and pre-enlistees generally need 61. Full details on the passing score page.
What if I score zero in one station?
That is an automatic fail, even if your total is above 51.
How many push-ups do I need for maximum points?
60 reps if you are under 22 — and far fewer as you get older: the 58–60 group needs only 40 reps. See push-up points by age.
How many sit-ups do I need for maximum points?
60 reps if you are under 22 — and far fewer as you get older: the 58–60 group needs only 44 reps. See sit-up points by age.
What 2.4km run time gives full points?
8:30 or faster for under-22s earns the maximum 50 points, with thresholds easing for older age groups. See run points by age.
How much money do I get for IPPT Gold?
NSmen receive $500 for Gold (85+ points), $300 for Silver (75–84) and $200 for Pass with Incentive (61–74). Commandos, Divers and Guards need 90 points for Gold — see the Gold score page.
Does my IPPT score change with age?
Yes. There are 14 age groups, and thresholds ease as you move up, so the same performance earns more points when you are older. See IPPT age groups explained.
Does this calculator work for servicewomen (female IPPT)?
Not yet — and on purpose. Servicewomen use separate tables (including bent-knee push-ups) that are not published alongside the CMPB male tables. We found only one complete online copy, and it disagrees with the official scheme document in a few cells, so we will not guess with your score. This calculator covers the verified male tables; female tables will be added only when they can be verified to the same standard. See our methodology.
How many points does an NSman need to pass IPPT?
51 points, with at least 1 point in every station. 61 earns Pass with Incentive ($200), 75 Silver ($300), 85 Gold ($500).
I am over 35 — anything extra before IPPT?
Yes: a yearly Health Screening Programme (HSP) assessment with Low Cardiac Risk status before you take IPPT or NS FIT.
Can I just do NS FIT instead?
Yes — 10 NS FIT sessions including 1 IPPT attempt inside your window fulfils the requirement. See the NS FIT guide.

Reverse Target Solver — What Must Change?
Pick a target score. Using the results in the calculator above, the solver shows the single-station change that gets you there — the cheapest fix in each station.
Solved from the same verified tables as the calculator. If you are medically exempt from a station, that station is left out.
