Gematria Reference Charts

Every letter value used on this site, laid out as plain tables you can read, print or check a calculation against. No system is summarised away; each chart shows every cipher side by side.

How to Use a Value Chart

A chart is for two jobs. The first is calculating by hand, which is worth doing at least once for a short word so the arithmetic stops being a black box. The second, and more useful one, is auditing a number somebody else has published. If a source claims a word totals a particular figure, the chart tells you in about thirty seconds which cipher could have produced it, and whether any cipher could have.

The columns matter more than the rows. Two words are only comparable when both were calculated in the same column, and most of the disagreement you will find online comes from quietly mixing columns rather than from anyone making an arithmetic error.

Reading a Value Off the Page

Each chart is laid out the same way: the letter, its name, then a column per system. The columns are the important part. A letter has no single value, only a value within a given method, so a figure copied from one column and compared against another is not a comparison at all.

The name column matters more than it looks. Sources refer to Hebrew letters by name rather than shape, so a commentary discussing resh is discussing 200, and being able to move between the two without looking is most of what fluency in this subject amounts to.

Printing

Every chart page prints as a clean sheet. Use your browser's print command and the navigation, calculators and site furniture drop away, leaving the heading and the table, with its header row repeated if it breaks across pages. Nothing to download, no watermark, and no email address to hand over first.

The Shared Structure

Hebrew and Greek use the same underlying design: nine units, nine tens, then hundreds. English ciphers do not, apart from Jewish Gematria, which borrows the Hebrew ladder and lands Latin letters on it. That is why English Ordinal totals stay small and Jewish Gematria totals run into the thousands for the same word. Neither is wrong, and they are not on the same scale.
