Worked example

Find the energy when Mass = 0.001 kg.

Using E = mc²: Energy = 8.988 × 10¹³ J.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for Mass–energy?

E = mc².

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

Energy in J, Mass in kg.

How do you calculate energy?

Put the values into E = mc². For example, with Mass = 0.001 kg, energy = 8.988 × 10¹³ J.

Can I solve for a different value?

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