The year 5806 תת״ו

5806 in the Jewish calendar is written ה׳תת״ו — the ה is the 5,000 years, and the letters after it are the 806 since. Written on its own, as it is on nearly every page that carries a date, the year is תת״ו, and those letters add to 806.

The letters, and what each is worth

ת400ת400ו6תת״ו806

400 + 400 + 6 = 806, 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׳תת״ו: the first letter carries the 5,000. In ordinary use it is left off and the year is written תת״ו 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 5,806, and 806 is what its letters spell.
