A simple gematria calculator is a tool used to compute the numerical value of words or phrases based on the principles of gematria, a form of Jewish mysticism that assigns numerical values to Hebrew letters. The term "gematria" is derived from the Greek word "γηματρια" (gēmatria), meaning "geometric" or "to calculate." In Hebrew, it is known as גימטריה. This practice is rooted in the Kabbalah and has been used for centuries to find hidden meanings and connections within religious texts. A simple gematria calculator typically involves assigning each Hebrew letter its corresponding numerical value, summing these values, and interpreting the result. For example, the Hebrew word אהבה (love) translates to the letters aleph (1), he (5), bet (2), and he (5), which sum to 13. Similar practices exist in other cultures, such as the Greek isopsephy and the Arabic abjad numerology, where letters are also assigned numerical values for interpretive purposes.
This site lets you convert words, names, and phrases into numerical values using different gematria systems. You can use the main calculator gematria tool at the top of the page: type your text, choose a method, and press Convert.
The calculator gematria tool supports multiple alphabets and standard letter–number mappings. More systems will be added in the future.
The reverse gematria calculator uses the same alphabet as the standard system but assigns values in reverse order (for example, A = 26, B = 25, …, Z = 1 in a basic English reverse setup). This lets you compare standard and reverse values for the same text.
