I found an old mag mount 2 meter antenna, and want to convert it for
use on 224MHz. The whip is 49". Is there a simple formula to figure
out how short to cut it?

What you have is a 5/8WL on 2m. It, no doubt, has a coil in the base
which is too big for 224MHz. You will have to modify the coil along
with the whip. I hope it is not a potted coil.
