What is Hebrew gematria?

Hebrew gematria numbers the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Units (1–9), tens (10–90), and hundreds (100–400) follow the same place-value idea as Milesian Greek, applied to aleph through tav.

In Jewish textual study, a word's value is the sum of its letters. This page is the calculator and the alphabet chart — not a second “what is gematria” essay. For the general definition, see What Is Gematria?.

Features of this Hebrew gematria calculator

Live Hebrew input

What it does: The total updates as you type Hebrew letters.

Hide details

The Hebrew alphabet's numeric values

Final forms (ך, ם, ן, ף, ץ) match kaf, mem, nun, pe, and tzadi on Mispar Hechrachi. Switch to the Mispar Gadol tab for finals valued 500–900. The chart below is the Hechrachi table. Mispar Siduri uses Hebrew letters numbered 1–22 instead of those place values.

Hebrew vs. Jewish gematria

Search treats “Jewish gematria” and “Hebrew gematria” as near synonyms. They are related, not identical, on this site.

Hebrew means the Hebrew letters themselves. Jewish (on the English calculator) means a Latin alphabet cipher that copies those place values: A–I as 1–9, K–S as 10–90, T/U/X/Y/Z as 100–500, with J=600, V=700, W=900. Typing “shalom” in English on the Jewish tab is not the same as typing שלום in Hebrew.

For a longer essay on the naming overlap, read Jewish vs Hebrew on the blog.

Hebrew script vs Latin transliteration

  • שלום in Hebrew script· 376
    Hechrachi
    300+30+6+40 = 376
    Gadol
    300+30+6+600 = 936
    What it means
    Hechrachi keeps ם=40; Gadol counts final ם as 600.
  • shalom in Latin letters· 199
    Jewish tab
    90+8+1+20+50+30 = 199
    What it means
    Counts s, h, a, l, o, m — English-letter cipher, not Hebrew script.

How to type Hebrew in the calculator

  • Paste or type Unicode Hebrew

    Copy Hebrew from a document, Bible app, or keyboard with Hebrew layout. The Hebrew tab counts א through ת.

  • Latin letters on the Hebrew tab

    English letters are ignored on the Hebrew tab — they do not add to the total. Switch to Jewish for transliteration.

  • Transliteration without a Hebrew keyboard

    Type shalom on the Jewish tab to get the Latin-letter cipher total. That number is not the same as שלום on the Hebrew tab. Watch for sofit final-letter errors when a final form changes the sum.

Homepage Hebrew tab vs this page

The main calculator has a Hebrew tab for a quick total alongside English Ordinal, Full Reduction, and Jewish. This page is the dedicated Hebrew tool: full alphabet chart, Jewish-tab comparison, Hebrew worked examples, and Hebrew-only FAQs.

Use the homepage when you want four systems on one screen. Use this page when you are working in Hebrew script, comparing script to transliteration, or looking up every letter value.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is Hebrew gematria?
    Hebrew gematria assigns each letter of the Hebrew alphabet a number — aleph through tet as 1–9, yod through tzadi as 10–90, qof through tav as 100–400 — then sums the letters in a word. It is the system used in traditional Jewish textual study.
  • Is Jewish gematria the same as Hebrew gematria?
    In search, the two names often point at the same idea. On this site, Hebrew gematria means the Hebrew alphabet itself. Jewish gematria means the English-letter cipher that imitates those place values (A–I as 1–9, K–S as 10–90, T/U/X/Y/Z as 100–500, with J=600, V=700, W=900). They are related, not identical.
  • What is the numerical value of the Hebrew alphabet?
    Aleph=1, bet=2, gimel=3, dalet=4, he=5, vav=6, zayin=7, het=8, tet=9, yod=10, kaf=20, lamed=30, mem=40, nun=50, samekh=60, ayin=70, pe=80, tzadi=90, qof=100, resh=200, shin=300, tav=400. On Mispar Hechrachi, final forms use the same values as standard forms. On Mispar Gadol, finals are 500–900.
  • Which letters count on the Hebrew tab?
    Only Hebrew letters א through ת (including final forms ך, ם, ן, ף, ץ) add to the total. Spaces, punctuation, digits, and Latin letters are ignored on the Hebrew tab.
  • Do final forms (sofit) change the value?
    On Mispar Hechrachi (the Hebrew tab), no — final forms use the same values as their standard letters (ם = 40 like מ). Switch to the Mispar Gadol tab for finals ך=500, ם=600, ן=700, ף=800, ץ=900.
  • Can I type Hebrew without a Hebrew keyboard?
    Yes. Paste Unicode Hebrew from another app, or use the Jewish tab and type English transliteration (for example shalom). Transliteration on the Jewish tab is not the same total as Hebrew script on the Hebrew tab.
  • Why is there a Jewish tab on the Hebrew calculator page?
    So you can compare Hebrew script with the English-letter cipher on one page. Jewish tab maps A–I as 1–9, K–S as 10–90, T/U/X/Y/Z as 100–500, with J=600, V=700, W=900 — the same place-value idea applied to Latin spelling.
  • What is mispar hechrachi?
    Mispar hechrachi (standard value) is the usual aleph=1 through tav=400 count used on this page. Other historical variants exist; biblical and rabbinic context for those is on biblical gematria.
  • Why is חי (chai) 18?
    ח is 8 and י is 10, so חי sums to 18. That pairing is widely cited in Jewish tradition; the arithmetic is on this page, commentary context is on gematria in biblical study.
  • Hebrew chart here vs the gematria chart page?
    This page pairs the interactive Hebrew calculator with the alphabet chart and worked examples. The gematria chart page is a static lookup for all systems (English, Hebrew, Greek) when you only need a table.
