1. What is English Gematria?

English Gematria is a system that assigns numerical values to letters in the English alphabet. Each letter's value is calculated as 6 times its position in the alphabet (A=6, B=12, ..., Z=156). The total value of a word is the sum of its letters' values.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the English Gematria formula:

Where:

• \( position \) — Letter's position in alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26)
• 6 — Multiplier for English Gematria

Example: "HELLO" = H(8×6) + E(5×6) + L(12×6) + L(12×6) + O(15×6) = 48 + 30 + 72 + 72 + 90 = 312

3. Importance of Gematria

Details: Gematria has been used in various traditions for finding hidden meanings in words and texts by comparing numerical values of different words or phrases.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any English word or phrase (letters only, case insensitive). The calculator will show the total gematria value and a letter-by-letter breakdown.
