How the calculator works
The words-to-pages formula starts with a base of 250 words per page for 12pt Times New Roman, double spaced, with 1-inch margins. From there, adjustments are applied for spacing (single spacing doubles the words per page), font family (wider fonts like Arial reduce words per page by about 9%), font size (each point above or below 12pt shifts the count by roughly 10%), and margin width (wider margins reduce the available text area).
Formatting tips for accurate page counts
- Always check your assignment guidelines. Professors often specify exact font, spacing, and margin requirements.
- Times New Roman is the safest default. It is the most widely accepted academic font and produces predictable page counts.
- Headers, footers, and title pages reduce the space available for body text, which can add an extra page or two for longer papers.
- Block quotes and images take up page space without contributing to word count, so factor those in when planning.
- Use the calculator in reverse mode to find out how many words you need to reach a specific page target.

1,000 words is approximately 4 pages double spaced or 2 pages single spaced, using 12pt Times New Roman with standard 1-inch margins. The actual count varies based on your font, font size, spacing, and margin settings.
A standard page with 12pt Times New Roman, double spacing, and 1-inch margins holds about 250 words. Single spaced, the same page holds roughly 500 words. Wider fonts like Arial reduce this slightly.
Yes. Wider fonts like Arial and Calibri produce fewer words per page than Times New Roman. For example, 1,000 words in Arial is about 4.4 pages double spaced, compared to 4 pages in Times New Roman.
Wider margins reduce the text area, meaning fewer words per page and more total pages. Increasing margins from 1 inch to 1.5 inches reduces words per page by about 16%, adding roughly one extra page per five pages of text.
This calculator is designed for typed, word-processed documents. Handwritten pages typically hold 150 to 200 words per page depending on handwriting size and line spacing, so results will differ from the estimates shown here.
