Hebrew Gematria Calculator

Blake Boege
Written by Blake Boege · Founder, Calculator Answers

Hebrew Gematria is the historical alphanumeric practice of assigning numerical values to the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Developed during the classical and rabbinic periods, it is widely used in Jewish hermeneutics, Torah study, and Kabbalistic mysticism to uncover hidden associations between words with equal numerical sums. A Hebrew Gematria calculator automates this calculation by analyzing Hebrew text inputs and summing the corresponding values, such as Aleph representing one and Tav representing four hundred. Scholars and researchers search for this tool to analyze biblical scripture and study historical Jewish texts.

Compute the standard Hebrew gematria value of any Hebrew word or phrase. Type or paste Hebrew letters and we show the total plus a transparent letter-by-letter breakdown — exactly how each value contributes to the sum.

Quick Answer

Hebrew Gematria is the practice of assigning numerical values to Hebrew letters. A Hebrew Gematria calculator sums the traditional values of Hebrew characters in a word or phrase, supporting study of Torah texts and Kabbalistic traditions.

Hebrew letters א–ת including final forms (ך ם ן ף ץ). Vowel marks (nikud), spaces, digits, and punctuation are ignored.

Hebrew letters take traditional grouped values: 1–9 for א–ט, 10–90 for י–צ, and 100–400 for ק–ת. Final letter forms (ך, ם, ן, ף, ץ) keep the same value as their non-final counterparts. This is the standard Hebrew gematria used in Jewish literature.

שלום (Shalom · peace)

= 376

תורה (Torah · teaching)

= 611

אלהים (Elohim · God)

= 86

ישראל (Israel)

= 541

אמת (Emet · truth)

= 441

חיים (Chaim · life)

אהבה (Ahavah · love)

= 13

How it works

Each Hebrew letter has a fixed value. We sum the values for every letter in your input. Spaces, vowel marks, and punctuation are ignored.

Standard values

  • א = 1 · ב = 2 · ג = 3 · ד = 4 · ה = 5
  • ו = 6 · ז = 7 · ח = 8 · ט = 9
  • י = 10 · כ/ך = 20 · ל = 30 · מ/ם = 40
  • נ/ן = 50 · ס = 60 · ע = 70 · פ/ף = 80
  • צ/ץ = 90 · ק = 100 · ר = 200
  • ש = 300 · ת = 400

Final forms (ך ם ן ף ץ) take the same value as their non-final counterparts in standard gematria.

A note on interpretation.

Hebrew gematria has a long tradition in Jewish commentary, but a shared numerical value is not, on its own, proof of doctrine, prophecy, or hidden meaning. Use it as a reference tool, not a replacement for context, the plain sense of the text, or sound interpretation.

Frequently asked questions

Hebrew gematria is the practice of summing the numerical values traditionally assigned to Hebrew letters. The standard system has been used in Jewish literature and commentary for over two thousand years and is the source of the broader "gematria" concept now applied to other alphabets.

Standard Hebrew gematria (Mispar Hechrechi). The first nine letters take values 1–9 (א=1 through ט=9), the next nine take 10–90 (י=10 through צ=90), and the last four take 100–400 (ק=100, ר=200, ש=300, ת=400).

Not in standard gematria — they take the same value as their non-final counterparts: ך=20, ם=40, ן=50, ף=80, ץ=90. A separate variant called Mispar Sofit assigns 500–900 to the finals, but it's less common and not the default here.

Yes — vowel points like patah, qamatz, sheva, and the dagesh are silently skipped. Only the consonant letters are counted. You can paste pointed Hebrew text directly and the gematria will compute on the consonants only, exactly as traditional gematria does.

The fastest way is to copy and paste from a Hebrew source. You can also use the example buttons above the input as a starting point. macOS, Windows, and ChromeOS all support adding a Hebrew keyboard layout in Settings → Language.

No. Two words sharing a gematria value means their letter sums are equal — nothing more. Several Jewish and esoteric traditions read meaning into such matches, but a numerical equality is not, on its own, evidence of a deeper relationship. We give you the math; interpretation depends on your tradition and context.

Beyond Mispar Hechrechi, traditional methods include Mispar Katan (single-digit reduction), Mispar Sofit (large finals), Mispar Ne'elam (the value of letter names), and many more. We support the standard method here; the others can be added later without changing this calculator.
