Understanding Book Page Counts
Translating a digital word count into physical book pages is more art than science, but our Words Per Page Calculatoruses industry-standard formulas to give you the most accurate estimate possible. This tool is indispensable for authors, editors, and self-publishers planning their next manuscript.
How We Calculate Pages
The "standard" rule of thumb is 250-300 words per page. However, this varies wildly based on:
- Font Size & Type: 12pt Times New Roman takes up less space than 14pt Arial.
- Margins: Standard 1-inch margins vs. narrow trade paperback margins.
- Line Spacing: Single spaced vs. double spaced manuscripts.
Our calculator allows you to toggle these variables (A4, A5, Single/Double spaced) to see how your specific document changes length across different formats.
Format Guide
- A4 / US Letter: The standard for academic papers and contracts.
- A5 / Trade Paperback: The most common size for fiction novels and memoirs.
- eBook: While pages are fluid in eBooks, estimating "screens" helps in pacing your story.
