How this gematria calculator works
Gematria assigns a number to every letter and adds those numbers together to give a word or phrase a numerical value. This calculator performs that in five steps, and runs all 8 supported systems on the same input at once.
- 1The script is detected. The calculator reads the input and identifies whether it is Latin, Hebrew, Greek, or a mix, because each script has its own letter-value tables.
- 2Each letter is replaced by its number. Every letter is looked up in the table for the chosen system. Spaces, digits and punctuation carry no value and are skipped.
- 3The values are added together. The letter values are summed to produce the total for the word or phrase. Multi-word input is also broken down word by word.
- 4The total is reduced to a single digit. The digits of the total are added repeatedly until one digit remains. 376 becomes 3+7+6=16, then 1+6=7. This reduced value is reported alongside the full total.
- 5Every system is calculated at once. All 8 systems run in parallel on the same input, so the values can be compared side by side rather than one at a time.
The 8 gematria systems this calculator supports
Each system uses a different letter-value table, so the same word normally produces a different number in each one.
English Gematria
Latinalso called English Ordinal, Simple EnglishEach letter takes its position in the alphabet, A=1 through Z=26, and the values are added together.
English Reverse
Latinalso called Reverse OrdinalThe alphabet is counted backwards, Z=1 through A=26, so every letter takes the mirror of its ordinal value.
Pythagorean Gematria
Latinalso called Full ReductionLetters cycle through the digits 1 to 9. A=1 to I=9, then J=1 to R=9, then S=1 to Z=8.
English Sumerian
Latinalso called Sumerian, AgrippaEach letter takes its ordinal position multiplied by six, so A=6 through Z=156. A word's Sumerian total is therefore always six times its English Ordinal total.
Jewish Gematria
Hebrewalso called Mispar Hechrachi, Standard ValueThe 22 Hebrew letters take fixed values: Aleph to Tet are 1-9, Yod to Tsadi count in tens, and Qof to Tav count in hundreds up to 400.
Mispar Gadol
Hebrewalso called Large ValueIdentical to the standard value, except the five final letter forms carry their own values from 500 to 900 instead of repeating the base letter.
Hebrew Ordinal
Hebrewalso called Mispar SiduriThe Hebrew letters are numbered 1 to 22 by alphabetical position, so Aleph=1 and Tav=22.
Greek Isopsephy
Greekalso called Greek GematriaGreek letters take values from 1 to 900, including the archaic letters digamma (6), qoppa (90) and sampi (900).
Worked examples
Each example shows the full arithmetic, so the result can be checked by hand.
Chet(8) + Yod(10) = 18
life, the number behind the customary gift in multiples of 18
Shin(300) + Lamed(30) + Vav(6) + Final Mem(40) = 376
peace
Mem(40) + Lamed(30) + Final Kaf(500) = 570
king, which shows how Mispar Gadol diverges once a final letter appears
L(12) + O(15) + V(22) + E(5) = 54
a short English word. LOVE is symmetric across the alphabet, so its Reverse value is also 54
G(7) + E(5) + M(13) + A(1) + T(20) + R(18) + I(9) + A(1) = 74
counting forwards through the alphabet
G(20) + E(22) + M(14) + A(26) + T(7) + R(9) + I(18) + A(26) = 142
the same word counted backwards, so each letter takes the mirror of its ordinal value
G(42) + E(30) + M(78) + A(6) + T(120) + R(108) + I(54) + A(6) = 444
the same word with every letter multiplied by six, so the total is six times the ordinal value of 74
G(7) + E(5) + M(4) + A(1) + T(2) + R(9) + I(9) + A(1) = 38
the same word with every letter reduced to a single digit

The last five rows are the final (sofit) forms, used when a letter ends a word. They are the only place the standard and Gadol systems differ.

Frequently asked questions
How is gematria calculated?
Each letter is replaced by its numerical value and the values are added together. In standard Hebrew gematria the 22 letters run Aleph=1 through Tav=400, so חי is Chet(8) + Yod(10) = 18. In English ordinal gematria the letters run A=1 through Z=26, so LOVE is L(12) + O(15) + V(22) + E(5) = 54.
Which gematria systems does this calculator support?
8 systems, calculated simultaneously: English Gematria, English Reverse, Pythagorean Gematria, English Sumerian, Jewish Gematria, Mispar Gadol, Hebrew Ordinal, Greek Isopsephy. Of these, 4 use the Latin alphabet, 3 use Hebrew, 1 uses Greek.
What is the difference between Mispar Hechrachi and Mispar Gadol?
They are identical except for the five Hebrew final (sofit) letter forms. Mispar Hechrachi gives a final letter the same value as its base form, so מלך is 40 + 30 + 20 = 90. Mispar Gadol gives the final forms values of 500 to 900, so the same word is 40 + 30 + 500 = 570.
What is the difference between English Ordinal and English Reverse?
English Ordinal counts forwards, A=1 through Z=26. English Reverse counts backwards, Z=1 through A=26. Every letter's two values sum to 27, so the two totals for a word differ unless the word happens to be symmetric across the alphabet.
Does this calculator work for Hebrew and Greek, or only English?
All three. Hebrew input is calculated in Jewish Gematria, Mispar Gadol, Hebrew Ordinal. Greek input is calculated in isopsephy, including the archaic letters digamma (6), qoppa (90) and sampi (900). Latin input is calculated in English Gematria, English Reverse, Pythagorean Gematria, English Sumerian.
What is the reduced value shown beside each total?
The digits of the total are added together repeatedly until a single digit remains. The Hebrew word שלום totals 376, which reduces 3+7+6=16, then 1+6=7.
Is this gematria calculator free?
Yes. It is free to use with no account, signup or payment, and it runs in the browser on any device.
About these results
Gematria is a historical interpretive practice with deep roots in Jewish textual scholarship, where commentators noted words sharing a numerical value and drew thematic connections between them. It also has parallels in Greek isopsephy and Arabic abjad numerals.
The numbers this calculator returns are arithmetic. Adding letter values is a well-defined operation, and the results here are reproducible. Every table and worked example on this page is generated by the same code that computes your result. What a given number means is a matter of interpretation, and this tool does not claim that a shared value establishes a factual connection between two words.
