## Formula

- `1 J = 6.24151e+18 eV`
- `electronvolts = joules × 6241509074000000000`
- Reverse: `joules = electronvolts × 1.602176634e-19`

The factor follows from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811); values below are rounded to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

## Worked examples

- 5 J = 3.12075e+19 eV
- 12.5 J = 7.80189e+19 eV
- 100 J = 6.24151e+20 eV

## FAQ

**How many electronvolts are in one joule?**

1 J = 6.24151e+18 eV. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

**What is the formula to convert joules to electronvolts?**

Multiply the value in joules by 6241509074000000000: electronvolts = joules × 6241509074000000000. For example, 5 J = 3.12075e+19 eV.

**How do I convert electronvolts back to joules?**

Multiply by the inverse factor 1.602176634e-19 (joules = electronvolts × 1.602176634e-19), or use the electronvolts-to-joules page.
