Why the estimate changes
Page capacity depends on usable paper area, font size and width, and vertical line spacing. A larger font or margin leaves less room for words.
What the range means
The ±10% range allows for short paragraphs, headings, dialogue, and unusually long or short words that a simple density model cannot predict exactly.
Check the final document
For a submission limit, paste the content into the required template. Footnotes, references, tables, and images can add pages without adding many words.
Frequently asked questions
How many words fit on one page?
A typical 12-point document holds about 500 words per single-spaced page or 250 words per double-spaced page. Wider fonts, larger text, wider margins, and extra paragraph spacing reduce that number.
Does font choice change the page count?
Yes. Fonts have different character widths and line heights even at the same nominal size. Arial and Georgia generally fit fewer words per page than Times New Roman, while Calibri may fit slightly more.
Can I paste my document to count its words?
Yes. Choose Paste text and the calculator will count whitespace-separated words locally in your browser. The text is not uploaded or stored by this tool.
