How words convert to pages
Page count depends on formatting, not just word count. As a rule of thumb at 12-point font, a page holds about 500 words single-spaced, 375 words at 1.5, and 250 words double-spaced. This calculator scales those baselines by your chosen font size, so an 11-point setting fits a little more per page. Because assignments specify formatting, always match the controls to your actual document.
The reference table updates with your settings so you can see common lengths at a glance — handy when a teacher asks for "a 5-page paper" and you need the equivalent word target.
FAQ
How many pages is 1,000 words?
About 4 pages double-spaced or 2 pages single-spaced at 12-point font. Change the spacing control to see your exact case.
Why do estimates differ from my word processor?
Margins, font family, headings and paragraph spacing all shift the count. These are solid estimates, not a layout engine.
Can I go from pages back to words?
Yes — use the "Reverse: pages→words" box to get a word target for a required page count.
