Look at the first letter of each month.

Answer
199.

Take the first letter of the month, and find its position in the alphabet: S = 19.

Then take the number of letters in the month: September = 9.
January    10 7
February    6 8
March      13 5
April       1 5
May        13 3
June       10 4
July       10 4
August      1 6
