You need the day, month, and full year of birth. Birth time and birthplace are not part of the calculation described here. A missing or mistyped digit changes the result.
A worked example
For April 12, 1990, add 1, 2, 0, 4, 1, 9, 9, and 0. The total is 26, which reduces to 8. Write the month as its numerical value.

Life path numbers: meaning and calculationBefore comparing results
Use the same complete year in both calculations. If a calculator returns 11, 22, or 33, check its master number rule before assuming that one result is incorrect.
Calculation and method
Use the day, month, and full birth year. For April 12, 1990, the digits add up to 1 + 2 + 0 + 4 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 26. Then 2 + 6 = 8. This example illustrates basic reduction. Master number cases also depend on the stated stopping rule.
