The year 5675 תרע״ה

5675 in the Jewish calendar is written ה׳תרע״ה — the ה is the 5,000 years, and the letters after it are the 675 since. Written on its own, as it is on nearly every page that carries a date, the year is תרע״ה, and those letters add to 675.

The letters, and what each is worth

ת400ר200ע70ה5תרע״ה675

400 + 200 + 70 + 5 = 675, computed by the same engine that computes every value on this site, over the same consonantal letters.

Why the five thousand is missing

The full form is ה׳תרע״ה: the first letter carries the 5,000. In ordinary use it is left off and the year is written תרע״ה followed by לפ״ק — lifrat katan, “by the minor reckoning”, which is the writer saying out loud that the thousands have been dropped. It is a habit of writing and not a claim about the number: the year is 5,675, and 675 is what its letters spell.
