How it works
Divide the word count by a rough number of words per page for your spacing. Double spacing fits fewer words on a page than single spacing, so the same essay runs longer.
These are estimates for a standard 12-point font with normal margins. A different font, a title page or figures will change the count.
Worked example
A paper of 2,500 words, set in double spacing, fills about 10 pages, rounded up.
Questions
Do citations and the title page count?
Often they do not. Many teachers count only the body, so check the assignment rules.
Why is my word processor's page count different?
Line breaks, headings and font choices change how many words fit on each page.
Why round up?
A partly filled page still counts as a page on most assignments.
