Assuming the force of gravity doesn't change much - for example, close to Earth's surface:

GPE = mgh

That is, gravitational potential energy is the product of mass, gravity and height. Close to Earth, a value of about 9.8 meters/square second is usually used for gravity. If you also measure mass in kilograms and height in meters, energy will be in joules.
