Words to Pages Calculator

TextLimits uses standard academic formatting: 12pt Times New Roman or Arial, 1-inch / 2.54 cm margins, US Letter paper. This gives approximately 500 words per page single spaced and 250 words per page double spaced. The live page count appears in the stats panel above and in Show more details.

At standard academic formatting (12pt, 1-inch / 2.54 cm margins), a single-spaced page holds approximately 500 words and a double-spaced page holds approximately 250 words. Wider fonts like Calibri or Arial may fit slightly fewer words per page than Times New Roman.

Page count varies with font choice, margin size, line spacing, paragraph spacing and header or footer content. TextLimits uses a standard baseline estimate. For an exact page count, paste your text into your word processor with its specific formatting applied.

Single spacing places lines directly beneath each other. Double spacing adds a full blank line between each line of text, roughly doubling the number of pages for the same word count. Most academic and school assignments specify double spacing.

Not directly — TextLimits uses a standard baseline (12pt, 1-inch / 2.54 cm margins, ~500/250 wpp). The reference table on this page shows word counts from 250 to 10,000 words at both spacings, which covers most practical cases. A4 paper (21 × 29.7 cm) produces a similar word-per-page count to US Letter for typical font and margin settings.
