This calculator runs entirely in your browser. Spaces, punctuation, numbers, and vowel points/accents are ignored — only letters recognized by the selected system contribute to the total.

How Gematria Calculation Works

Gematria Value = Σ(Numeric Value of Each Letter)

Every letter in the alphabet is assigned a fixed numeric value. To find a word or phrase's gematria value, look up each letter's value and add them together. Spaces, punctuation, and (for Hebrew and Greek) vowel marks are skipped — they carry no numeric value of their own.

Worked Example — שלום (Shalom)

  • ש (shin) = 300
  • ל (lamed) = 30
  • ו (vav) = 6
  • ם (final mem) = 40
  • Sum: 300 + 30 + 6 + 40 = 376

This is the calculator's default value in the Hebrew tab above (Mispar Hechrachi method).

Hebrew Letter Values (Mispar Hechrachi)

The standard system assigns each of the 22 Hebrew letters a value from 1–400. Final (sofit) letters share their base letter's value here — the alternate Mispar Gadol method instead assigns them extended values of 500–900, shown in parentheses.

English (Simple Gematria) & Greek (Isopsephy) Values

Simple English gematria assigns A=1 through Z=26 in alphabetical order. Greek isopsephy follows the same additive-value pattern as Hebrew, including three archaic letters that fill numeral gaps.

Common Mistakes & Edge Cases

  • Treating "gematria" as one single numberHebrew, English, and Greek gematria are separate letter-value systems, and even within English there are several ciphers (Ordinal, Reverse Ordinal, Full Reduction). The same word produces a different total in each — quoting "the gematria value" without naming the system and cipher is meaningless.
  • Using base letter values for Hebrew final (sofit) lettersIn the standard system (Mispar Hechrachi), a final letter like ך (kaf sofit) shares its base letter's value (20, same as כ). Only the Mispar Gadol ("great value") method assigns final letters their own extended values (500, 600, 700, 800, 900) — mixing the two conventions produces an inconsistent total.
  • Vowel points and diacritics carry no gematria valueHebrew niqqud (vowel points) and Greek accent marks are pronunciation guides, not letters — they contribute nothing to a gematria or isopsephy total and are skipped automatically. Two spellings of the same word that differ only in vowel points or accents will still produce the same value.
  • Expecting a "matching words" databaseThis calculator computes the numeric value of whatever you type — it doesn't search a dictionary for other words or names that share that value. Finding equivalences means calculating a second word yourself and comparing the two totals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Gematria is a system, rooted in Jewish tradition, of assigning a numeric value to each letter of the Hebrew alphabet and summing those values to find the numeric equivalent of a word or phrase. Words or phrases that add up to the same total are traditionally treated as linked in meaning. Related letter-number systems exist for Greek (isopsephy) and, less formally, English.

Look up each letter's assigned numeric value and add them together: Gematria Value = Σ(value of each letter). For example, the Hebrew word שלום (shalom) breaks down as ש=300, ל=30, ו=6, ם=40, which sums to 376.

Hebrew gematria assigns values from a 2,000-year-old tradition tied to the 22-letter Hebrew alphabet (e.g. א=1, ת=400). "English gematria" is a modern, informal extension of the same idea onto the 26-letter Latin alphabet — most commonly Simple/Ordinal (A=1 … Z=26), though other ciphers like Reverse Ordinal and Full Reduction are also used. They are separate systems with separate totals for the same word.

Simple gematria (also called English Ordinal) assigns A=1, B=2, C=3 … Z=26 and sums the letters in a word. It's the most common English-alphabet cipher — for example, LOVE = 12 + 15 + 22 + 5 = 54.

Greek isopsephy works the same way as Hebrew gematria: each of the 24 standard Greek letters (plus three archaic letters — digamma, qoppa, and sampi — that fill numeral gaps) has an assigned value, and a word's value is the sum of its letters. For example, λόγος (logos) sums to 373: λ=30, ο=70, γ=3, ο=70, ς=200.

Yes — this is the basis for gematria's traditional use in finding conceptual links between words or phrases. This calculator gives you the numeric value of any text you enter; comparing it to another word means calculating that word separately and checking whether the totals match.

A birthdate isn't gematria in the traditional letter-value sense — gematria applies to letters, not calendar numbers. "Birthday numerology" is a related but separate practice (e.g. reducing a birthdate to a single-digit "life path number" by repeatedly summing its digits), distinct from the Hebrew, English, or Greek letter systems this calculator computes.

Yes — 666 is one of the most cited examples in gematria history. Many scholars point to it as the Hebrew gematria value of "Nero Caesar" (transliterated into Hebrew as נרון קסר), one proposed explanation for the "number of the beast" referenced in the Book of Revelation.
