* ''Mispar hechrachi'' (absolute value) is the standard method. It assigns the values 1–9, 10–90, 100–400 to the 22 Hebrew letters in order. Sometimes it is also called ''mispar ha-panim'' (face number), as opposed to the more complicated ''mispar ha-akhor'' (back number).

* ''Mispar gadol'' (large value) counts the final forms (sofit) of the Hebrew letters as a continuation of the numerical sequence for the alphabet, with the final letters assigned values from 500 to 900. The name ''mispar gadol'' is sometimes used for a different method, ''Otiyot be-Milui''.

* ''Otiyot be-milui'' ("filled letters", "letters in full", also known as ''mispar gadol'' or ''mispar shemi''), is a set of techniques that use the value of '''each letter''' as equal to the value of '''its name''', by spelling the name of each letter and adding the standard values of the resulting string. For example, the letter ''aleph'' is spelled ''aleph lamed peh'' [אלף], giving it a value of $1+30+80=111$, ''bet'' is spelled ''bet yud tav'' [בּית], yeilding $(2\; +\; 10\; +\; 400)\; =\; 412$, etc. Sometimes the same operation is applied two or more times recursively. Certain letters (particularly ''heh'' and ''vav'') can have several different variant spellings, producing many different "full" variants ("''miluyyim''") for any particular word.Thus the [[Tetragrammaton]] has several different ''miluyyim''-values, depending on whether ''heh'' is spelled ה"י or ה"א or ה"ה, and whether ''vav'' is spelled וא"ו or וי"ו or ו"ו. Because there are 3 ways of spelling the ''vav'' and each ''heh'', the Tetragrammaton has 27 possible ''miluy''-permutations and 13 possible sums. The four most commonly utilized ''miluyyim'' in kabbalistic and hasidic writing are called by their full value: עב, סג, מה, בן ("av", "sag", "mah" and "ban"):
