Enter the total word count and the average number of words per page into the calculator to determine the total number of pages. This calculator helps in estimating the page count for a given word count based on a standard words-per-page count.
Page Count Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the page count.
PC = (WC / WPP)
Variables:
- PC is the page count
- WC is the total word count
- WPP is the average number of words per page
To calculate the page count, divide the total word count by the average number of words per page and round up to the nearest whole number.
What is Page Count?
Page count is the total number of pages that a document will have based on the total word count and the standard words-per-page count. This measure is often used by writers and publishers to estimate the length of a document or book. The average number of words per page can vary depending on factors such as font size, typeface, margins, and spacing.
How to Calculate Page Count?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Page Count.
- First, determine the total word count (WC).
- Next, determine the average number of words per page (WPP).
- Next, gather the formula from above = PC = ceil(WC / WPP).
- Finally, calculate the Page Count (PC).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
total word count (WC) = 4500 words
average number of words per page (WPP) = 300 words per page
