Book page calculator

Estimate book pages from word count, trim size, typography, margins and images. Compare layouts, export calculations and save results to your book planner.

Estimate the space a manuscript needs before typesetting. This calculator accounts for your chosen format, text layout, illustrations and front and back matter, rather than assuming a fixed number of words on every page.

How to use this tool

1. Choose words to pages or pages to words and enter your manuscript word count or target page count.
2. Set the book size, margins and typography, then add images and front or back matter.
3. Review the print-ready estimate and confidence range; export the calculation or save it to the planning worksheet.

Page counts are estimates, not a replacement for final typesetting. Confirm final pagination and production requirements with your designer and printer.
