Enter your number of pages and customize settings like font, font size, line spacing, and page format to get an estimated word count. You can also work in reverse — enter a word count to see how many pages it fills. Adjust margins to match your document layout for a more precise conversion.

A standard page with 12pt Arial font, single spacing, and 1-inch margins contains roughly 500 words. With double spacing that drops to about 250 words per page. Font choice, font size, and margin settings all significantly affect the final count.
Yes. Wider fonts like Courier and Comic Sans MS fit fewer words per line compared to compact fonts like Times New Roman or Calibri. Switching fonts can change your per-page word count by 10–20%, which adds up over many pages.
A 5-page paper at standard settings (12pt font, single spacing, 1-inch margins) is approximately 2,500 words. With double spacing, the same 5 pages would hold around 1,250 words.
At standard settings (12pt Arial, single spacing, 1-inch margins), 1,000 words fills roughly 2 pages. With double spacing, that stretches to about 4 pages. Adjust the spacing and font settings in the calculator to match your document.
A4 is the standard in most countries outside North America and is slightly taller than Letter size (8.5×11 in). A4 typically holds a few more words per page due to its extra height. Use Letter for US academic and business documents, and A4 for international or European documents.
Wider margins reduce the printable area, meaning fewer words fit on each page. For example, increasing all margins from 1 inch to 1.5 inches can reduce per-page word count by 15–25%. This calculator lets you set each margin individually for a precise estimate.
Most academic institutions require double spacing (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago style). Double spacing roughly halves the words-per-page count compared to single spacing, so a 10-page double-spaced essay holds the same words as a 5-page single-spaced document.
