Calculate the elastic potential energy stored in a compressed or stretched spring. The energy stored depends on the spring constant and the displacement from its natural length.
Enter your values below
Stiffness of the spring
Compression or extension from natural length
How this calculator works
Potential energy equals one-half times spring constant times displacement squared. Energy is always positive regardless of compression or extension direction.
