The Brown-York quasi-local energy of a rotating black hole described by the Kerr metric and enclosed by a fixed-radius surface is calculated by direct computation. No special assumptions on the angular momentum or the radial coordinate in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates were placed. The arbitrary reference term has been set to zero. The result may be relevant for applications in astrophysics, for modeling elementary particles or for extensions of the framework of quasi-local quantities. An analytic expression in terms of incomplete elliptic integrals is given.
