Gematria Calculator
A gematria calculator for English, Hebrew, and Greek. Type a word or phrase and we compute every applicable cipher — Ordinal, Reverse Ordinal, Reduction, Sumerian, standard Hebrew gematria, and Greek isopsephy — with a transparent letter-by-letter breakdown so you can see exactly how each total is reached.
We count letters from English, Hebrew, and Greek alphabets. Spaces, digits, and punctuation are ignored.

How it works
Each cipher is just a rule for turning letters into numbers. Type any word and the calculator applies every rule whose alphabet matches your input. Letters outside a cipher's alphabet — and all spaces, digits, and punctuation — are ignored.
English Ordinal
A = 1, B = 2, all the way to Z = 26. The simplest English gematria cipher and the one most calculators show first.
English Reverse Ordinal
A = 26, B = 25, all the way to Z = 1. A mirror of Ordinal — the same idea reading the alphabet backwards.
English Reduction
Each letter is reduced to a single digit 1–9: A = 1, B = 2, … I = 9, then J = 1, K = 2, … repeating. Common in numerology, sometimes called the Pythagorean cipher.
English Sumerian
Each letter's Ordinal value × 6. A widely used variant in modern English gematria research.
Hebrew Standard
Hebrew letters take traditional grouped values: 1–9 for א–ט, 10–90 for י–צ, and 100–400 for ק–ת. Final letter forms (ך, ם, ן, ף, ץ) keep the same value as their non-final counterparts. This is the standard Hebrew gematria used in Jewish literature.
Greek Isopsephy
Greek letters take grouped values: 1–9 for α–θ (with digamma = 6), 10–90 for ι–ϟ (koppa), and 100–800 for ρ–ω, plus sampi = 900. Used in ancient Greek and early Christian texts.

A note on interpretation.
Gematria can show numerical patterns in words, but it should not be used as proof of doctrine, prophecy, or secret revelation. Use it as a reference tool, not a replacement for context, Scripture, reason, or sound interpretation. Two phrases sharing a number under one cipher does not, on its own, mean they share anything else.
Frequently asked questions
Gematria is the practice of assigning numerical values to letters and summing them to a single number. It originated in Hebrew tradition and has been extended over the centuries to many alphabets — Greek (where it is called isopsephy), English, and others — each with multiple cipher systems.
There is no single "meaning" of a gematria number. The number is simply the sum of letter values under a chosen cipher. Different traditions read different things into matching values, but mathematically a match only tells you that two phrases have the same letter-value sum.
English ciphers (like Ordinal A=1…Z=26) are modern systems built on the Latin alphabet. Standard Hebrew gematria assigns 1–9 to the first nine letters, 10–90 to the next nine, and 100–400 to the last four. Greek isopsephy works similarly with 1–9, 10–90, and 100–800 plus the obsolete numeral letters digamma (6), koppa (90), and sampi (900).
Four English ciphers — Ordinal, Reverse Ordinal, Reduction (Pythagorean), and Sumerian (Ordinal × 6) — plus standard Hebrew gematria and Greek isopsephy. Type letters from any of those alphabets and the relevant ciphers appear in the results.
No. Only letters in the cipher's alphabet contribute to the total. Spaces, digits, and punctuation are ignored, and English case does not matter. The letter-by-letter table shows exactly which characters were counted for the cipher you select.
Mathematically, their letter values add up to the same number under that cipher. Several Jewish and esoteric traditions read connections into such matches, but a numerical equality is not, on its own, evidence of any deeper relationship. We give you the math; interpretation depends on your tradition and context.
Yes. Paste Hebrew letters (א–ת) or Greek letters (α–ω plus the obsolete numeral letters) and we compute the standard Hebrew gematria or Greek isopsephy total. Mixed input — for example, an English word alongside its Hebrew form — works too, with each cipher applied to its own alphabet.
