Gematria is a traditional Hebrew system that assigns a numerical value to each letter. Adding the values of a word's letters gives the word a number, used in study, commentary, and numerology.

Which method does this use?

It uses standard gematria, Mispar Hechrachi, where Alef=1 through Tav=400. This is the most common scheme; methods like Mispar Gadol or Atbash use different rules and are not applied here.

How are final (sofit) letters valued?

In standard gematria the final forms keep their base value: final Kaf ך equals 20, final Mem ם equals 40, and so on. This tool follows that convention.

What happens to spaces, numbers, and Latin letters?

Only Hebrew letters contribute to the total. Spaces, punctuation, digits, and Latin characters are ignored, so you can paste mixed text and still get the correct value.

Calculate a Hebrew word’s gematria

Gematria assigns each Hebrew letter a fixed numerical value, and a word’s gematria is the sum of its letters. This calculator computes the standard gematria (Mispar Hechrachi) of any Hebrew word or phrase and shows you the breakdown letter by letter.

How it works

Each of the 22 Hebrew letters has a fixed value:

Alef–Tet are 1–9.
Yud–Tsadi are 10–90 in tens.
Kuf, Resh, Shin, Tav are 100, 200, 300, 400.

The tool walks through your input character by character, looks up each Hebrew letter’s value, and adds them up. Final (sofit) forms — ך ם ן ף ץ — share the value of their base letters, so final Mem ם counts as 40. Anything that is not a Hebrew letter, such as spaces or Latin text, is skipped.

Example

The word חיים (“life”) breaks down as Het=8, Yud=10, Yud=10, Final Mem=40, summing to 68. The related word חי (“living”) is Het=8 plus Yud=10, giving the famous value 18 (chai).
