Based on the slave-boson theory of the two-dimensional $t-t'-J$ model, we calculate the superconducting condensation energy for optimally doped and overdoped high $T_{c}$ cuprates at finite temperatures using a renormalized random phase approximation. The contributions come from the mean-field part and the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. In the presence of neutron resonance peak at $(\pi,\pi)$, the latter is shown to have similar temperature and doping dependences as the difference in antiferromagnetic (AF) exchange energy between the normal and the superconducting state. This difference has been proposed to be related to the superconducting condensation energy by Scalapino and White. The total condensation energy, however, is about 1/2 smaller than the proposed AF exchange energy difference and shows a more rapid decrease as the temperature rises. The doping dependence of the condensation energy is found to be consistent with experiments. In particular, near zero temperature, our result shows a good quantitative agreement with experiments.
