Hebrew Gematria Calculator

Hebrew text scored under five classical ciphers

Gematria assigns a number to each Hebrew letter and reads the total of a word. Five ciphers are offered here: standard (mispar hechrachi), the ordinary values; gadol, which gives the five final forms their large values of 500 to 900; ordinal (mispar siduri), position in the alphabet from 1 to 22; katan, each letter reduced to a single digit; and atbash, each letter swapped for its mirror before being valued. Vowel points are stripped first — they are marks, not letters, and carry no value.

Hebrew Gematria Calculator — FAQ

I typed English and got zero — is it broken?

No. Gematria is defined over the Hebrew alphabet, and this calculator will not transliterate, because every source transliterates differently and a confident number from an arbitrary choice is worse than an obvious zero. Every character it could not score is listed back to you.

Which cipher should I use?

Standard unless you have a reason otherwise — it is what is normally meant by a word's gematria. The others exist for specific readings: gadol when final forms are meant to count large, atbash for the mirrored substitution used in some biblical readings.

Does this use a fixed or moving definition of a day (e.g. across time zones)?

The calculation only uses the calendar date in your profile (DD/MM/YYYY) — it doesn't depend on time of day or time zone, unlike birth-chart calculators which need an exact time.
