Calculate gravitational potential energy using PE = mgh. Determine the energy stored in an object due to its position above a reference point in a gravitational field.
Enter your values below
Mass of the object
Gravitational acceleration (default: 9.81 m/s²)
Vertical height above reference point
How this calculator works
Gravitational potential energy equals mass times gravitational acceleration times height. The higher the object, the more potential energy it stores relative to the reference level.
