Life Path Number Calculator

Your Life Path number is the most important number in your numerology chart. It is calculated from your full date of birth and describes the central lesson, talents and direction of your life — the road you are walking, whether or not you chose it consciously. Think of it as the numerology equivalent of a sun sign, but derived from the whole date rather than just the month.

To calculate it, reduce your birth month, day and year separately to single digits (or the master numbers 11, 22 and 33), then add those three results together and reduce again. For example, 14 March 1992 becomes 3 + 5 + 3 = 11 — a master number, so it stays 11. The calculator below does this for you and explains what your number means.

Once you know your Life Path, pair it with your Birthday number for natural talents and your Personal Year to see where you are in your current nine-year cycle.
