This mobile App calculates projected Final Multiple Scores (FMS) for Navy enlisted Sailors, ranging from paygrades E3 through E6 looking to be advanced to paygrades E4 through E7. A Sailor’s opportunity to advance to the next paygrade is based on two primary factors: vacancies and Final Multiple Score (FMS) standing among peers. The FMS App calculates the advancement formula, giving Sailors a total score based on input of each individual FMS element. The App provides a tutorial for Sailors not familiar with how FMS elements are calculated, and offers helpful information for navigating the Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS). Don’t wait until exam day—Learn about the FMS elements and calculate your projected FMS today!
Features:

FMS Calculator: A simple single-screen display that enables users to populate FMS elements with data representing individual accomplishments and other required data. The calculator features dropdown menus and value sliders that allow users to change inputs to explore “what if” scenarios.
Personalize: The FMS calculator is programmed to account for different formulas used at each paygrade, and gives users the ability to display maximum points that can be garnered under each element.
