Quick answer: To find your numerology number by date of birth, add all the digits of your birth date and reduce the total to one digit. That is your Life Path number (Bhagyank). Your birth day reduced to one digit is your Moolank. Your Name Number (Namank) comes from adding the Chaldean values of the letters in your name. AstroGuru's free calculator above does all three instantly.
What Is Numerology?
Numerology (अंक ज्योतिष, Ank Jyotish) is the study of numbers and the meaning they carry in your life. Every date of birth and every letter of your name can be turned into a number. Numerologists read these numbers to understand your nature, strengths, challenges and the timing of important events.
Our free numerology calculator uses the Chaldean system followed by Cheiro and Sepharial. It gives you five core numbers: Life Path (Bhagyank), Moolank, Name Number (Namank), Soul Urge and Personality.
How to Calculate Your Numerology Number by Date of Birth
You can calculate your Life Path number by hand in three steps. Here is an example for a person born on 14 August 1995 (14-08-1995):
Step 1: Add every digit of the date of birth
1 + 4 + 0 + 8 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 5 = 37
Step 2: Reduce to a single digit
3 + 7 = 10, then 1 + 0 = 1. The Life Path (Bhagyank) number is 1.
Step 3: Find the Moolank from the birth day
The birth day is 14, so 1 + 4 = 5. The Moolank (root number) is 5.
The calculator above does all of this instantly, and also works out your Name Number from the spelling of your name.

Master Numbers 11, 22 and 33
In Western (Pythagorean) numerology, 11, 22 and 33 are called master numbers and are not reduced further. 11 is linked to intuition, 22 to building big things, and 33 to teaching and healing. Traditional Chaldean and Indian numerology usually reduces them (11 → 2, 22 → 4, 33 → 6), but many readers still note them as a special sign.

Chaldean Numerology Chart (Letter Values)
This numerology chart shows the number for each letter in the Chaldean system. No letter gets the number 9, because it is treated as sacred.
| Number | Letters |
|---|---|
| 1 | A, I, J, Q, Y |
| 2 | B, K, R |
| 3 | C, G, L, S |
| 4 | D, M, T |
| 5 | E, H, N, X |
| 6 | U, V, W |
| 7 | O, Z |
| 8 | F, P |
Example: RAHUL = R(2) + A(1) + H(5) + U(6) + L(3) = 17 → 1 + 7 = 8. The Name Number is 8.
Chaldean vs Pythagorean Numerology
The Pythagorean system gives letters numbers 1 to 9 in alphabetical order (A=1, B=2 … I=9, J=1). The Chaldean system is older and assigns numbers by the sound of each letter, using only 1 to 8. Most Indian numerologists use Chaldean for name correction because it follows the sound of the name as it is spoken, which is why our calculator uses it.
Numerology Name Correction
If your Name Number clashes with your Moolank or Bhagyank, a numerologist may suggest a small spelling change, such as adding a letter or doubling one, so the name number becomes friendly to your birth numbers. For example, a person with Bhagyank 1 may be advised to choose a name total of 1, 3 or 5. A name correction should always be checked against your full chart before you change documents or your signature.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my numerology number by date of birth?
Add every digit of your full date of birth and keep adding until you reach a single digit. For 14-08-1995: 1+4+0+8+1+9+9+5 = 37, then 3+7 = 10, then 1+0 = 1. Your Life Path (Bhagyank) number is 1. Your Moolank is your birth day reduced to one digit (14 → 1+4 = 5).
What is the difference between Moolank, Bhagyank and Name Number?
Moolank (root number) comes from your birth day only. Bhagyank (Life Path or destiny number) comes from your full date of birth. Name Number (Namank) comes from the letters of your name using the Chaldean chart.
Is this numerology calculator free?
Yes. The calculator shows your Life Path, Name Number, Moolank, Soul Urge and Personality numbers free. A detailed personal report and name correction consultation are paid services.
What is Numerology Name Correction?
Name correction is adjusting the spelling of your name so its Chaldean Name Number is in harmony with your Moolank and Bhagyank. In numerology practice, a compatible name number is believed to reduce obstacles.
Why use the Chaldean method instead of Pythagorean?
The Chaldean system assigns numbers 1 to 8 to letters based on their sound vibration, and treats 9 as sacred, so no letter carries it. Cheiro and Sepharial used this system for name numerology, and it is the method most Indian numerologists follow for name correction.
Can changing my name spelling change my destiny?
Your Bhagyank from your birth date cannot change. In numerology, changing the spelling changes only your Name Number, which practitioners believe can make the name more supportive of your Life Path.
What is my lucky number by date of birth?
Your Moolank, which is your birth day reduced to one digit, is usually treated as your main lucky number. For example, someone born on the 23rd has Moolank 2 + 3 = 5. The table of lucky numbers, colours and days on this page lists the traditional lucky elements for each Moolank.
Which name number is good for my Moolank?
In traditional Indian numerology, a name number ruled by a planet that is friendly to your Moolank and Bhagyank is considered supportive. For example, 1, 2, 3 and 9 are often treated as friendly to each other. Always check your full chart before changing the spelling of your name.
Is numerology scientific?
Numerology is a traditional belief system, not a science. Many people use it for self-reflection and guidance. Please do not make important health, legal or money decisions based only on numerology.
