Word count to page count calculator

There is no fixed answer without knowing the formatting. The convention worth memorising is 250 words to a double-spaced 12-point page, which makes 1,000 words four pages and 2,000 words eight.

The 250-word page is not arbitrary. It comes from the standard manuscript page — 12-point monospace, double spaced, one-inch margins — which publishers used for decades precisely because it made length predictable regardless of who typed it. Modern proportional fonts break that: the same 250-word page in Times at 12 point runs shorter than in Courier, and margins move it again. If a page count is being enforced, ask what the formatting is, because the difference between single and double spacing is a factor of two and no amount of careful writing bridges it.
