Gematria Calculator

Enter any word or phrase to see its gematria value across the main English ciphers — Ordinal, Full Reduction, Reverse, English (Sumerian) and Jewish — or switch to Hebrew to add up Hebrew letters directly.

Features

Six English ciphers at once

See Ordinal, Full Reduction, Reverse Ordinal, Reverse Reduction, English (Sumerian) and Jewish gematria for any word in a single view.

Hebrew letter mode

Switch to Hebrew and type letters directly (right-to-left) to add up their traditional gematria values, finals included.

Letter-by-letter breakdown

A table shows each letter's value in every cipher, so you can see exactly how the total is reached.

Live and private

Values update as you type, and everything runs in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded.

How it works — in four simple steps

No signup, nothing to install — it all runs in your browser.

Step 01

Choose English or Hebrew

Pick the alphabet you want. English shows the main English ciphers; Hebrew adds up Hebrew letters.

Step 02

Type your word or phrase

Enter a word, name or phrase. Spaces, numbers and punctuation are ignored.

Step 03

Read the values

See the total for each cipher update instantly as you type.

Step 04

Check the breakdown

Open the letter-by-letter table to see how each total is built.

How it works

Gematria is the practice of assigning a numeric value to letters, so that a word or name has a number — the sum of its letters. It began with the Hebrew alphabet, where each letter already doubles as a number, and has been adapted to the English alphabet through several different ciphers (numbering systems).

This calculator shows the main English ciphers at once: Ordinal (A=1 … Z=26), Full Reduction (the Pythagorean system, reduced to 1–9), Reverse Ordinal (A=26 … Z=1), Reverse Reduction, English/Sumerian (Ordinal × 6), and Jewish Gematria (a table that mirrors the Hebrew values). Switch to Hebrew mode to type Hebrew letters and add up their traditional values directly. A letter-by-letter breakdown shows exactly how each total is built.

Gematria is used in numerology, Kabbalah and word puzzles, and as a curiosity for comparing words that share a value. It carries no scientific meaning — treat it as a fun or cultural exercise. Everything is computed in your browser.

Examples

hello → Ordinal 52 · Reduction 25 · English (Sumerian) 312 · Jewish 103
שלום (shalom) → Hebrew gematria 376 (ש300 + ל30 + ו6 + ם40)

Frequently asked questions

What is gematria?
Gematria is a system that gives each letter a numeric value, so a word's value is the sum of its letters. It originates in Hebrew, where letters are also numbers, and has been extended to English through several ciphers.
What is the difference between the English ciphers?
Ordinal is A=1…Z=26. Full Reduction reduces those to a single digit 1–9 (the Pythagorean system). Reverse Ordinal counts backwards (A=26…Z=1). English/Sumerian is the Ordinal value times six. Jewish Gematria uses a table that mirrors the Hebrew letter values.
How does Hebrew gematria work?
Each Hebrew letter has a fixed value — Alef=1, Bet=2 … Yod=10, Kaf=20 … Qof=100, Resh=200, Shin=300, Tav=400. A word's value is the sum of its letters. This tool uses the standard values, counting final-form letters as their base value.
What is Jewish gematria in this tool?
It's the common English 'Jewish Gematria' cipher (as used on popular gematria sites), which assigns English letters values that echo the Hebrew system — for example A=1…I=9, then J=600, K=10, L=20, and so on.
Does gematria mean anything?
Gematria has cultural and religious significance in traditions like Kabbalah, and it's popular in numerology and word puzzles, but it has no scientific basis. Treat the results as a fun or cultural curiosity, not a factual claim.
