Document Page-Count Estimator
Find out how many pages your essay, report or manuscript will fill, from the word count or by pasting the text, for any font, size, line spacing, margins and paper size.
About this tool
The usual rule of thumb is 500 words a page single-spaced and 250 double-spaced, but the real figure depends a lot on the font: Times New Roman fits noticeably more on a page than Arial or Verdana at the same size. This estimate works it out from the page itself: the space inside the margins, the average width of characters in the chosen font, and the font's line height in Word. It also allows for the part-empty last line of each paragraph and any space after paragraphs.
Headings, lists, tables, pictures and page breaks all add pages, so treat the answer as a guide; the range shows where most documents of that length land. If your essay has a page limit, paste the text in for the most accurate count. Your settings are remembered on this device.
