> The gematria calculator adds up the numerical values of letters in Hebrew or English text using the standard Hebrew system (mispar hechrechi), the large-number system with final letters (mispar gadol), English ordinal (A=1…Z=26), English ×6, the “Jewish” English cipher and reduced (Pythagorean) values. Everything is calculated in your browser; nothing you type is sent to our server.

## Inputs

- Word or phrase (Hebrew or English)

## Results

- Hebrew standard (mispar hechrechi)
- Hebrew with finals (mispar gadol)
- English ordinal (A=1…Z=26)
- English gematria (×6)
- Jewish cipher (English letters)
- Reduced / Pythagorean (1–9)
- Letters counted

## Formula

```
Hebrew: א=1 … י=10, כ=20 … ק=100, ר=200, ש=300, ת=400.
English ordinal: A=1 … Z=26; English gematria = ordinal × 6.
```

## Explanation

Gematria is an ancient practice of assigning numbers to letters, used in Jewish tradition to find links between words with equal values. For example שלום (shalom, peace) totals 376. Modern English ciphers apply the same idea to the Latin alphabet.

### How to use the Gematria Calculator

- **Word or phrase (Hebrew or English)**

Everything runs in your browser, so results appear instantly and nothing you type is sent to a server.

### How it works

Each recognised letter is looked up in every cipher and the values are summed. Hebrew vowel points (niqqud) are ignored; spaces and punctuation do not count.

## Worked example

Inputs — Word or phrase (Hebrew or English): שלום.

Results — **Hebrew standard (mispar hechrechi) = 376**; Hebrew with finals (mispar gadol) = 936; English ordinal (A=1…Z=26) = 0; English gematria (×6) = 0; Jewish cipher (English letters) = 0; Reduced / Pythagorean (1–9) = 0.

## FAQ

**What is the gematria of שלום?**
376 in the standard system.

**What are final letters?**
Five Hebrew letters (ך ם ן ף ץ) have special forms at the end of a word; mispar gadol gives them 500–900.

**Is gematria scientific?**
No; it is a traditional interpretive and recreational practice.

**What formula does the Gematria Calculator use?**
Hebrew: א=1 … י=10, כ=20 … ק=100, ר=200, ש=300, ת=400.
