How to Calculate Your Life Path Number

Add every digit of your full birth date, then keep adding the digits of the result until you reach a single digit — unless you land on a master number (11, 22 or 33), which is kept.

  1. Write your date: 27 March 1990 → 2, 7, 3, 1, 9, 9, 0.
  2. Add the digits: 2+7+3+1+9+9+0 = 31.
  3. Reduce: 3+1 = 4. Life path 4.

Some numerologists reduce the day, month and year separately first — that can reveal master numbers the single-sum method hides. Our calculator shows both.
