For fun and reflection. This friendship percentage is a playful reading from a traditional table. It is not scientifically proven, a name is one small part of a friendship, and a score is not a prediction. Nothing you type is stored: the score is worked out in your browser.
How the friendship percentage is calculated
The calculator uses the Indian view that each number from 1 to 9 belongs to a planet: 1 Sun, 2 Moon, 3 Jupiter, 4 Rahu, 5 Mercury, 6 Venus, 7 Ketu, 8 Saturn and 9 Mars. In Vedic astrology the natural friendship between planets is called graha maitri, and that is the table this calculator reads.
- Clean the names. Capital letters, spaces, punctuation and titles such as Mr or Dr are ignored. Only the letters A to Z count, so type the names in English letters.
- Find three numbers for each name. The name number by the Chaldean chart, the same number as in the name numerology calculator; the whole name by the Pythagorean chart (A=1 to I=9, then J=1 to R=9, then S=1 to Z=8); and the consonants by the same chart. Each is reduced to a single digit, so 11, 22 and 33 are reduced too.
- Compare the names pair by pair. Name number with name number, whole name with whole name, consonants with consonants.
- Score each pair from 0 to 4. The calculator uses the same planet friendship table as the love calculator and the numerology compatibility calculator. A friend scores 2, a neutral planet 1 and an enemy 0, read in both directions.
- Turn the total into a percentage. Three pairs give a total out of 12. The friendship percentage is the total divided by 12, times 100, rounded.
Worked example
Names Aditya and Rohan (example names, not real people).
| Number | Aditya | Rohan | Match | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name number (Chaldean) | 3 (Jupiter) | 2 (Moon) | Good | 3 of 4 |
| Whole name | 6 (Venus) | 2 (Moon) | Challenging | 1 of 4 |
| Consonants (outer self) | 4 (Rahu) | 4 (Rahu) | Excellent | 4 of 4 |
| Total | Good friends | 8 of 12 = 67% | ||
- Name number (Chaldean). Aditya: Aditya (A1 D4 I1 T4 Y1 A1 = 12), total 12 → 3. Rohan: Rohan (R2 O7 H5 A1 N5 = 20), total 20 → 2.
- Whole name. Aditya: Aditya (A1 D4 I9 T2 Y7 A1 = 24 → 6), total 6. Rohan: Rohan (R9 O6 H8 A1 N5 = 29 → 11), total 11 → 2.
- Consonants (outer self). Aditya: Aditya (D4 T2 Y7 = 13 → 4), total 4. Rohan: Rohan (R9 H8 N5 = 22), total 22 → 4.
Computed by the same engine as the calculator above. 8 ÷ 12 × 100 = 67%.
What the percentage means
| Percentage | Reading | In plain words |
|---|---|---|
| 75 to 100 | Close friends | Your names sit well together in most pairs, so the friendship may feel easy. |
| 50 to 74 | Good friends | Your names get along in most places, with a spot or two where you differ. |
| 25 to 49 | Different, and can learn from each other | Your names bring different energies, and friends who differ often teach each other the most. |
| 0 to 24 | A friendship that takes time | Your names sit far apart in the table, so trust may take a little longer to build. |
The consonants are traditionally read as the outer self, how each person comes across, and the whole name and the name number as the overall picture. Look at the three pairs as well as the percentage.
A score is a conversation starter. Good friendships are built by turning up for each other, and that matters far more than any number.

Friendship calculator questions
Is the friendship percentage a real prediction?
No. It is a playful reading built from a traditional table, and it is not scientifically proven. A name is one small part of a friendship, so treat the score as something to enjoy and talk about, not as a verdict on the two of you.
How is the friendship percentage worked out?
Each name gives three numbers: the Chaldean name number, the whole name and the consonants, each reduced to one digit. The calculator compares the two names pair by pair using the traditional friendship between the planets that rule those numbers, scores each pair from 0 to 4, and turns the total out of 12 into a percentage.
How is this different from the love calculator?
Both use the same planet friendship table. The love calculator also compares the vowels, which are read as the heart. The friendship calculator uses the Chaldean name number and the consonants instead, which are read as how each person comes across day to day, so the same two names can score differently on each.
Will the result change if I swap the two names?
No. Each pair of numbers is read in both directions, so the score is the same whichever name you type first. Capital letters, spaces and punctuation are ignored.
What if our score is low?
A low score only means the numbers of the two names are not natural friends in the traditional table. Many close friends have a low score and get along very well. It is not a reason to worry about a friendship.
Are the names I type saved?
No. The calculation runs in your browser and nothing you type is stored or sent.
