Is this an official HRC promotion points calculator?

No. Green Book is independent. Use the free public trends and manual worksheet as planning aids, then verify your official PPW with HRC, IPPS-A, and your S-1.

Does Green Book use CutoffScores.com data?

No. CutoffScores.com is not scraped, ingested, or presented as official. Use official HRC sources and your PPW for decisions.

Can I enter my promotion points here?

Yes — the public worksheet uses category totals you enter. It does not import points from IPPS-A or replace your official PPW.

Why is my MOS missing from the chart?

Coverage depends on admin-imported records. Limited MOS in the database means sparse or empty charts — not fabricated fill-in values.

Can I import cutoffs myself?

Import is restricted to authorized Green Book admins. Soldiers consume the charts after verified import.

Army promotion points calculator and cutoff guide

Use this Army promotion points calculator guide when you are searching army promotion points, cutoff scores, or SGT/SSG board totals. Promotion boards combine points from multiple categories against MOS-specific cutoffs that change each month. Green Book offers a manual promotion points worksheet and historical HQDA cutoff charts so you can estimate where you stand — using admin-imported official-style data, not scraped third-party sites, and never as a forecast of future cutoffs.

Manual promotion points estimator

The calculator lets you enter points by category — military training, awards, education, and other areas your board uses — and see a running total. You control every input; Green Book does not pull points from IPPS-A or automatically verify your records.

Use it for planning: “If I complete this course before the board, how does my total shift?” Verify every category against your official PPW and unit guidance.

Cutoff trend analysis

When cutoff data is published for your MOS and grade (SGT or SSG), Green Book charts historical cutoffs by month so you can see direction — not guarantees. Sparse data shows a coverage banner instead of inventing numbers. The free public tool at /tools/promotion-point-trends needs no login.

Data enters the system through admin import of official HRC/MILPER-style tables — transcribed manually with source URLs where available. Green Book does not scrape CutoffScores.com or treat it as authoritative.

What counts as canonical data

Official publications and HRC releases transcribed by authorized admins are the intended source. Third-party aggregator sites may help you cross-check informally, but they are not ingested into Green Book and should not be cited as official in a board packet.

If your MOS is missing from the chart, the tool tells you coverage is limited — not a guess at your cutoff.

Who this helps

SGT and SSG candidates comparing their estimated total against recent cutoffs for their MOS.

NCOs counseling soldiers on realistic timelines before the next board.

Anyone tired of spreadsheet cutoffs that go stale after one HRC update.

Limitations to remember

Board outcomes depend on more than points — needs of the Army, zone of consideration, and administrative flags matter. Charts show historical cutoffs, not predictions.

Always confirm your official points total and eligibility with your unit and AG before you treat an estimate as board-ready.
