How Words Per Page Are Calculated

Estimating the number of pages a manuscript or document will fill depends on three primary typography parameters: font family, font size, and line spacing. Under universal standard formatting (12-point Times New Roman, 1-inch margins on Letter or A4 paper):

  • Single-Spaced: Yields approximately 500 words per page (approximately 55 lines per page at 9 to 10 words per line).
  • 1.5 Spacing: Yields approximately 375 words per page, frequently preferred in corporate memos and draft revisions.
  • Double-Spaced: Yields approximately 250 words per page (approximately 25 lines per page at 10 words per line), the universal standard for academic submissions, university essays, and literary agency manuscripts.
