How Many Words Per Page?

The number of words that fit on a page depends on several factors: font type, font size, line spacing, and margins. Here are the standard guidelines:

~500
words/page (single-spaced)
~375
words/page (1.5-spaced)
~250
words/page (double-spaced)

Standard Formatting for Academic Papers

Most academic institutions require double-spaced text with 12pt Times New Roman or Arial font. This results in approximately 250 words per page. Always check your specific requirements, as some professors or journals may have different guidelines.

Book Manuscript Standards

The publishing industry typically uses 250 words per page as a standard for manuscripts. This is based on double-spaced text with 1-inch margins. When publishers discuss book length, they often refer to word count rather than page count because the final printed book will have different formatting.
