What is a electronvolt?

The energy an electron gains across one volt, exact since the 2019 SI.

What is a calory?

The small calorie: energy to raise one gram of water by one degree.

The formula

cal = eV × 3.82929e-20

Every result on this page comes from this formula. Nothing is rounded until the final display, so figures match a spreadsheet to the cent.
