How it works
When to use it
- Estimate how many pages an essay or paper will fill.
- Work out how many words you need for a page requirement.
Formula
Words per page ≈ 500 × (12 ÷ font size)² ÷ line spacingBaseline: 12 pt, single-spaced, 1-inch margins ≈ 500 words.
Pages = words ÷ words per pageWorked example
Given: 1,500 words, 12 pt, double-spaced
- Words per page = 500 ÷ 2 = 250.
- Pages = 1,500 ÷ 250 = 6.
Result: About 6 pages.
Reading the result
- Headings, block quotes and figures add pages.
Limitations
- Fonts differ: Times New Roman fits more than Arial or Calibri at the same size.
