The year 5681 תרפ״א
5681 in the Jewish calendar is written ה׳תרפ״א — the ה is the 5,000 years, and the letters after it are the 681 since. Written on its own, as it is on nearly every page that carries a date, the year is תרפ״א, and those letters add to 681.
The letters, and what each is worth
400 + 200 + 80 + 1 = 681, 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׳תרפ״א: the first letter carries the 5,000. In ordinary use it is left off and the year is written תרפ״א 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 5,681, and 681 is what its letters spell.
