How to Use This Calculator
Enter only verified component scores. Use zero for categories that do not apply. Current scoring systems vary by service, grade, cycle, and promotion program.
Formula & Methodology
Total promotion points equal the sum of entered component scores. Margin above or below cutoff equals total points minus the entered cutoff.
Example: comparing with a cutoff
A total score of 350 against a cutoff of 345 produces a positive five-point margin.
This generic calculator does not determine official eligibility, validate component maximums, predict cutoff scores, or reproduce every service-specific promotion system.
