On standard 8-1/2” x 11” paper, 1,000 words is about 4 pages, double spaced.
However, the answer to this question changes based on whether you're typing or writing. Because teachers typically require formal writing to be typed, it's best to rely on the typed word page count.
Some other typical essay word counts measure out to the following pages.
- 500 words (double spaced) is 2 pages
- 1,500 words (double spaced) is 6 pages
- 2,000 words (double spaced) is 8 pages
- 2,500 words (double spaced) is 10 pages
- 3,000 words (double spaced) is 12 pages
- 4,000 words (double spaced) is 16 pages
- 5,000 words (double spaced) is 20 pages
The best way to think of it is 250 words equals one double-spaced page. That doesn't sound so bad.
