Working shown step by step

How the calculator works

It uses the Pythagorean letter values, the system most numerology books and apps use. Letters are numbered 1 to 9 in order and the count starts again after I and after R.

For each number the digits of the total are added until one digit is left. 11, 22 and 33 are kept as master numbers, except for the birth number, which is always one digit.

1: A, J, S
2: B, K, T
3: C, L, U
4: D, M, V
5: E, N, W
6: F, O, X
7: G, P, Y
8: H, Q, Z
9: I, R

What each number is read as

The same meanings apply to all three numbers. When your numbers differ, read the birth number as everyday nature, the life path as direction and the name number as how you show up.

1: Leader and self-starter: independent, direct, happiest when building something of their own.
2: Peacemaker: gentle, intuitive and good with people; does best with a partner or team.
3: Communicator: creative, warm and expressive; writing, teaching and the arts suit this number.
4: Builder: steady, practical and loyal; trusts process and hard work over shortcuts.
5: Explorer: curious, quick and restless; travel, sales and change keep this number alive.
6: Caretaker: responsible and loving; home, family, beauty and service matter most.
7: Thinker: inward, analytical and spiritual; needs quiet time and questions everything.
8: Achiever: ambitious, organised and strong with money and authority; results come with patience.
9: Humanitarian: generous, brave and idealistic; finishes things and helps others.
11: Master number 11, the intuitive guide: sensitive and inspiring, with the nerves to match. Read alongside 2.
22: Master number 22, the master builder: big plans made real through discipline. Read alongside 4.
33: Master number 33, the master teacher: care and service on a large scale. Read alongside 6.

Numerology and your kundli

Indian numerology links each root number to a planet: 1 Sun, 2 Moon, 3 Jupiter, 4 Rahu, 5 Mercury, 6 Venus, 7 Ketu, 8 Saturn, 9 Mars. That is where the link to Jyotish ends. A birth chart uses the actual position of every planet at your birth and the timing of its dasha, which numbers cannot show.

Questions about numerology

How is the name number calculated?

Each letter has a value: A, J and S are 1; B, K and T are 2; and so on up to I and R, which are 9. Add every letter of your full name, then add the digits of the total until one digit is left. 11, 22 and 33 are kept as master numbers.

What is the difference between mulank and bhagyank?

Mulank (birth number) comes from the day you were born only: 29 becomes 2 plus 9, which is 11, then 2. Bhagyank (life path) uses the whole date: the year, the month and the day are each reduced, then added and reduced again.

What is my lucky number?

In Indian numerology most people take their mulank as their lucky number, and some also use their bhagyank. This calculator shows both. It is a tradition people follow, not a guarantee of luck.

Should I change the spelling of my name?

Some people do, often for a business or a child's name. A spelling change changes the name number, but there is no proof it changes your life. If you are thinking of it, decide for reasons you can live with even if nothing changes.

Can I type my name in Hindi?

Please type it in English letters. Numerology letter values are set for the A to Z alphabet, and the same Hindi name can be spelt in English in more than one way, so the spelling you use on documents is the one to enter.
