Words to Pages Calculator
For an essay, paper or thesis it helps to know in advance how many pages your text will be, for example to meet a set page limit. This calculator converts your word count into a realistic page estimate based on the formatting you use. The formatting — double- or single-spaced — makes a big difference to the result.

公式
Pages = word count ÷ words per page
With a standard 12-point font (such as Times New Roman) at double spacing, about 275 words fit on a page; at single spacing, about 550. These are averages — the exact figure depends on font, font size, margins and paragraph structure. Simply divide your total word count by the words-per-page of your chosen formatting to get the estimate.

計算例
1000 words, double-spaced
→ About 3.6 pages, rounded up to 4.
2000 words, double-spaced
→ 2000 ÷ 275 = 7.3 pages, rounded up to 8.
1500 words, single-spaced
→ 1500 ÷ 550 = 2.7 pages, rounded up to 3.
Reference table
| Words | Pages (double) | Pages (single) |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | 1.8 | 0.9 |
| 1000 | 3.6 | 1.8 |
| 1500 | 5.5 | 2.7 |
| 2000 | 7.3 | 3.6 |
| 2500 | 9.1 | 4.5 |
| 5000 | 18.2 | 9.1 |
Based on 275 words/page (double) and 550 words/page (single); your own font may differ.
よくある間違い
- Assuming single spacing when the assignment requires double spacing, which skews the page estimate.
- Assuming the result is exact; font, margins and headings change the actual page count.
- Guessing the word count instead of using your word processor's actual count.
活用シーン
- Estimating in advance whether you will stay within a page limit.
- Determining how much more text you need to write to meet a minimum page count.
- Planning a publication, assignment or manuscript around an estimated word or page budget.
よくある質問
Why doesn't my own page count match exactly?
Font, margins, headings and images all affect the actual page count; this is an estimate based on average values.
How many words are 5 pages?
At double spacing, about 1,375 words (5 × 275); at single spacing, about 2,750 words (5 × 550).
Does the calculator account for other fonts?
No, the estimate assumes a standard 12-point font such as Times New Roman. A narrower or larger font will give a different actual page count.
What is the difference between double and single spacing?
Double spacing leaves a blank line of space between each line of text, making theses and essays easier to read and annotate. Single spacing places lines directly beneath each other, so roughly twice as much text fits on a page.
