FMS Calculator

An Official U.S. Navy mobile application, produced by the Navy PMW 240 Program.

This mobile app calculates projected Final Multiple Scores (FMS) for E3 through E6 enlisted Sailors eligible for advancement to pay grades E4 through E7. A Sailor's opportunity to advance to the next paygrade during an advancement cycle is based on two primary factors: vacancies and FMS standing among peers.

The FMS Calculator mobile app uses the FMS formula to calculate the projected FMS, giving Sailors a total score based on input of individual FMS elements. The app provides helpful information for navigating the FMS parameters and elements. The FMS Calculator app also provides an FMS pie chart breakdown as well as a historical view by branch class, exam rate, and group, if applicable.

The 2019 release offers a new look and feel that makes the app similar to using the FMS Calculator on MyNavy Portal. This release includes the latest FMS minimum cut scores for the spring 2019 advancement cycles. This release also includes changes in the FMS formulas and implementation of NAVADMIN 312/18, as well as the Reporting Senior's Cumulative Average (RSCA) Performance Mark Average (PMA) policy.
