Mass–energy Equivalence Calculator

☢ Nuclear & Decay. Use the Mass–energy equivalence formula to find energy, mass change δm: pick the value you want, type the others, and the answer updates as you go.

E=Δm c2E = \Delta m\,c^2

In nuclear units: 1 u of mass = 931.5 MeV.

Energy92.218 MeV

Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.

Worked example

Find the energy when Mass change Δm = 0.099 u.

Using E = Δ m c²: Energy = 92.218 MeV.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for Mass–energy equivalence?

E = Δ m c². In nuclear units: 1 u of mass = 931.5 MeV.

What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?

Energy in MeV, Mass change Δm in u.

How do you calculate energy?

Put the values into E = Δ m c². For example, with Mass change Δm = 0.099 u, energy = 92.218 MeV.

Can I solve for a different value?

Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (energy, mass change δm) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
