Estimated page count
This is an estimate, not an exact count. The real number of pages also depends on font, font size, margins, paragraph breaks, headings and images. A standard academic page is usually 12pt Times New Roman, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins — about 250 words per page.
How to use
- Enter your word count — for example 1,000 words for a short essay.
- Choose Double-spaced (about 250 words per page, the usual academic format) or Single-spaced (about 500 words per page), or pick Custom and enter your own words-per-page figure.
- Click Convert to pages to see the estimated page count, including a rounded whole-page figure.
Frequently asked questions
How many words are on one page?
It depends on the formatting. With the standard academic setup — 12pt Times New Roman, double-spaced, 1-inch margins — a page holds about 250 words. Single-spaced with the same font and margins, a page holds about 500 words. Larger fonts, wider margins or more paragraph breaks all reduce the words per page.
Why is the result an estimate?
Because pages are not filled by word count alone. Headings, paragraph breaks, lists, quotes, tables and images all take up space differently, so two 1,000-word essays can land on different page counts. Treat the result as a planning guide and check the real page count in your word processor.
How many pages is a 1,500-word essay?
About 6 pages double-spaced (1,500 ÷ 250) or about 3 pages single-spaced (1,500 ÷ 500), using the standard academic format. Use the converter above with your exact word count for a precise estimate.
What if my teacher uses different formatting?
Pick Custom and enter the words per page your formatting produces. If you are unsure, type a page of your essay in your word processor, count its words, and use that figure as your custom value.
