Default Kinetic Energy formula?

Whats the formula for figuring Kinetic energy? The wife cleaned and I can' t find my reference material. Normally I don' t figure it, my guy at the pro shop does but I should start doing it myself. Thanks.

Weight (grains of arrow) X Speed (FPS) X Speed (FPS) divided by 450240= KE in foot pounds. Right it down this time.
