Enter text into the calculator to determine its Gematria value. The calculator will assign a numerical value to each letter and sum them to find the total Gematria value.

Sum the selected English letter values.

Gematria Value Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Gematria value of a text.

G = โˆ‘(value of each letter)

Variables:

  • G is the Gematria value of the text
  • The value of each letter follows the selected alphabet and cipher. English ordinal uses A=1, B=2, …, Z=26.

Select the alphabet and cipher, then sum its character values. Reduced methods reduce each letter before summing. Uncounted characters have value zero; English digits contribute their individual values only when enabled.

What is Gematria?

Gematria is an alphanumeric code of assigning a numerical value to a name, word, or phrase based on its letters. A single word can yield multiple values depending on the cipher used. Gematria is often used in Jewish culture and has associations with numerology. The practice has roots in the interpretation of ancient texts.

How to Calculate Gematria Value?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Gematria value.


  1. First, input the text you want to calculate the Gematria value for.
  2. Next, select the alphabet and cipher; English ordinal assigns A=1, B=2, …, Z=26.
  3. Then, sum the values of all the letters to get the total Gematria value.
  4. Unsupported characters contribute zero. The optional English digit setting counts each ASCII digit as its numeric value; retaining punctuation changes the breakdown only.
  5. After calculation, the Gematria value will be displayed in the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following text as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Text: “HELLO”

The Gematria value of “HELLO” is calculated as H(8) + E(5) + L(12) + L(12) + O(15) = 52.
