Frequently asked questions
How many pages is 1,000 words?
About 4 pages double-spaced or 2 pages single-spaced, using 12pt Times New Roman with standard 1-inch margins.
How many pages is 1,500 words double spaced?
About 6 pages in 12pt Times New Roman. Single-spaced it is about 3 pages.
How many words fit on one page?
The standard convention is about 500 words per single-spaced page and 250 words per double-spaced page (12pt Times New Roman, 1-inch margins). Larger fonts, wider fonts like Arial, and headings all lower that number.
Does the font really change the page count?
Yes, Arial and Verdana are wider than Times New Roman, so the same words fill more pages. Switching 12pt Times to 12pt Arial adds roughly 5–10% more pages; Verdana adds ~20%.
