How this calculator works
Standard Hebrew gematria adds the traditional numeral value of each letter. The first nine letters carry units, the next nine carry tens and the remaining letters carry hundreds. Final forms use their ordinary letter values here, so final mem counts as 40 rather than 600. Combining vowel and cantillation marks are removed; punctuation and whitespace are ignored. Other scripts and digits are rejected to avoid silently assigning an incomplete total. The sum is a textual convention and is not evidence of a causal relationship.
Formula
Total = sum of the listed numeral values, once for each supported letter in the text.
Worked example
The word חי gives 8 + 10 = 18. שלום gives shin 300, lamed 30, vav 6 and final mem 40, totalling 376.

Frequently asked questions
Which gematria system is used?
Standard Hebrew values, often called mispar hechrechi. Other ciphers can give different totals.
Do final forms have extra values?
Not in this standard system. Final kaf, mem, nun, pe and tsadi keep values 20, 40, 50, 80 and 90.
Can I enter an English transliteration?
Enter Hebrew letters. Transliteration is ambiguous and is not automatically mapped to Hebrew.
