About this tool
Words-per-page depends on font, size, margins, and spacing. The academic standard — 12pt Times New Roman, 1-inch margins, US Letter — fits about 500 words single spaced and 250 words double spaced.
Teachers usually assign essays in pages assuming double spacing, so a "5-page essay" means roughly 1,250 words. Publishers count a manuscript page as 250 words regardless of actual layout.
