Word count to page count calculator: what to know
This page starts the word counter for this case. For every option and how to use it, see the word counter.
What the estimate assumes
The figures assume a 12-point font such as Times New Roman or Arial, margins of about 2.5 cm (1 inch), A4 or US Letter paper, and ordinary paragraphs. That gives roughly 500 words on a single-spaced page and 250 on a double-spaced one.
Anything that changes the space per word changes the result. A bigger font, wider margins, headings, short dialogue lines, lists and images all mean fewer words per page. A smaller font or narrow margins mean more. Treat the page count as a guide, and check the real document if a page limit matters.
Pages in a printed book
A printed book has a smaller page than A4 or Letter, and the words per page depend on its trim size, font and layout. There is no single figure that works for every book, so ask your printer or check a book of the same format. For a word count target by book length, see the guide to novel word counts.
