All APA papers should include a list of “References” after the main text and before any tables, figures, or other additional materials. The list should include all of the sources directly used to support the ideas and claims made in the main body of the argument. This is different from a bibliography, which includes background materials and wider reading.
To format your reference list, start a new page after the end of your main text and include “References” as a title, centered and in bold.
On the next line, alphabetize your references by author surname and indent any additional lines after the first one by an extra inch. A sample APA format citation would therefore look like this:
Author Surname, Initial(s). (Date). Title of work with first word capitalized (Edition if not the first). Publisher. DOI or URL
Please see our other more targeted pages for information on how to format different types of sources.
If used, footnotes appear throughout a paper at the bottom of the page on which the relevant note occurs. Endnotes, by contrast, appear on their own page at the end of the document, after the list of references. Both footnotes and endnotes can be used to provide supplementary information that is not essential to the main body of your argument.
To form either kind of note, include a superscript number in the relevant position in the text after any punctuation apart from a dash (—), like so. 1 If a footnote number needs to be placed next to a dash, then it should precede it—like it does here 2 —though you should generally delay the footnote marker to the end of the sentence. Only include a footnote in the middle of a sentence if it is necessary for clarity’s sake.
Use the footnoting feature on your chosen word processor to automatically create footnotes and endnotes. You should also use the word processor’s default formatting settings, typically a 10-point version of the paper’s main font, single-spaced.
Tables show either numbers or text arranged in columns and rows. Figures are any other way of presenting information visually, such as charts, photographs, illustrations, drawings, infographics, and more.
Both tables and figures can either be embedded in the main body of your text when they are first mentioned or they can be presented on separate pages at the end of your document. If they are embedded, they can either take up a whole page or, if they are small enough, then they can appear with text on the same page. In the latter case, you should place them either at the top or the bottom of the page, not in the middle. You should also leave a blank, double-spaced line between your text and the table or figure.
Tables should be labelled sequentially as they occur in your text (for example, Table 1). This label then appears above the table in bold, followed by a title in italics with any important words capitalized. The font for the table should be the same as that for your paper.
Tables may include a number of headings based on how the data is categorized. That said, every column should include a heading , even the leftmost column (sometimes known as the stub column). If no heading readily presents itself for this column, then “Variable” is often used.
Center all column headings and capitalize the important words. Left-align the information in the leftmost column (apart from the column heading), but center the information in all the other cells (unless left-justifying would improve readability).
See the sample paper below for an APA format example of a table.
Figures are also labelled sequentially as they occur in your text (for example, Figure 1). As with tables, this label should then appear above the figure in question in bold, followed by an italicized title with important words categorized. The figure then follows at a size large enough to understand and read. If any text occurs in the figure (such as axis labels), style it in a sans serif font between 8 and 14 points. If necessary, provide a legend or key within the borders of the figure.
Beneath any tables or figures, you can also include any of the following kinds of notes: general notes, specific notes, and probability notes. These help to clarify elements in the tables or figures that might not otherwise be understood.
The following is an example of a student paper:

How many words is 5 pages? This is a question that a lot of people ask, especially students who are writing essays. The answer, however, can vary depending on the formatting. In this article, we’ll calculate how many words are in 5 pages for different fonts and sizes!
There are a few factors that can influence how many words are in a paper:
Now that we know what factors influence the word count, how many words is 5 pages? Keep reading – we’ve calculated the figures for different fonts and sizes. They’re just general guidelines, though.
Generally speaking, how many words is 5 pages? With single spacing, it’s about 2500 words if the font is Arial, size 12. If you’re using Times New Roman, it might be closer to 3000 words. This is because Arial has bigger letters than Times New Roman.
If you want to be really precise, how many words is 5 pages? Here’s what our tests with Lorem Ipsum and Google Docs came up with:
But what if you use double spacing? This is the usual requirement for essays, and it makes the page look less crowded. How many words is 5 pages double-spaced? Read on to find out.
With double spacing, how many words is 5 pages? This time, it’s about 1250 for 12 point Arial. If you’re using Times New Roman, expect it to be closer to 1500 words with the same margins. It will always be more than 1000 words.
Here’s what we found when we tested it with Lorem Ipsum:
As you can see, it isn’t always exactly half the number of words with double spacing. So, if you were given a word count range, it’s better to stick to that rather than the number of pages. Online calculators and word counters can help you determine how many words your assignment is.
So, how many words is 5 pages? About 2500. Here are other numbers you might be interested in:
Of course, these are just estimates and a general rule of thumb. To avoid the headache in the first place, you can ask your teacher how long the paper should be in words instead of pages. This way, everyone will be on the same page – pun intended!
Do you wonder how many pages a given number of words is? This website converts the number of words to the number of pages, online and for free. This tool is useful when writing essays at university to determine how many pages you are required to write.
The number of pages changes depending on the number of words, the font and the font size. You can select the following fonts: Arial, Calibri, Comic sans MS, Courier New, Times New Roman and Verdana. Available spacing options: single spaced, 1.5, double spaced.
Note: This calculator provides an indication only and works most accurately for an academic essay with four paragraphs per page and no (sub)headings.
Enter details below
The overview below provides an indication of the number of pages required (based on font: arial, font size: 12, single spaced):
The truth is there is no definitive answer to this question. The number of words it will take to fill a page will depend on a number of factors including the type of font used, the font size, spacing elements, the margins used on the paper, the paragraph length, etc. For example, if the assignment says the writing should be in 10-point font, it’s going to take a greater number of words to fill a page than if the assignment requires a 12-point font.
For those who need a general rule of thumb, a typical page which has 1-inch margins and is typed in 12 point font with standard spacing elements will be approximately 500 words when typed single spaced. For assignments that require double spacing, it would take approximately 250 words to fill the page. For an assignment that requires you to write four pages, you can make the estimation that you’ll need to write approximately 2000 words for a single spaced paper, or 1000 words if the assignment is double spaced. Again, the type of font used can make the word count higher or lower, but it’s a good rule of thumb for those who are simply looking for a general estimation.
Since there can be a large variation on the number of words needed to fill a page, most papers are no longer assigned by page count. They are instead assigned by word count. That is, an assignment, essay or paper will likely be assigned as 1500 – 2000 words rather than 3 – 4 pages. This way it is much more difficult for the writer to “game the system” by using large fonts and excessive spacing to meet the writing criteria.
If you are given a writing assignment with a page number, the best thing to do is go directly to the person who made the assignment and ask for a word count. This will take away all the variations and help ensure your writing assignment meets expectations. If it’s for something informal and you simply need a general guideline, you can find it below.
The below list is an approximation, and actual pages will differ depending on a number of factors mentioned earlier in this article. Use the below information for a general reference, but don’t assume it will be the case at all times . Here are basic word to pages conversions:

A page is about 500 words. I can write a 500 word / 46 line letter in 15 minutes but it can take another 15 to edit the letter into better English.
wordcounter.net is used with ALL of the articles I publish.
Thank you, WCN-
This is very useful if you need to print your work and need a page estimate. I know it isn’t an exact number, but it can give a general estimate which is better than nothing.
Basically this article x 2 🙂
Did you actually count the words in this article? Or did you just take a look and make an estimate of how many words were in this article? Looking at the article it seems to me that there are less than 1000 words in it. I would estimate x3 just looking at it offhand…
More than likely he combined Ctrl + A and MS word.
So how many pages would 250 words be? Would that be half a page? Or would that be a full page? I only need to write 250 words and you don’t have how many pages that is on your list.
250 words would be half a page if the lines are single spaces and it would be 1 full page if the lines are double spaced.
Thank you for this handy estimate of word/page count. This was exactly what I was looking for. Most of my assignments are word count, but one class is page count. I had no idea what I was expected to write, but this gives me a good word count estimate to shoot for. Thanks
In actual sense, all this doesn’t matter. You can chage things to make the pages different depending on the number of words. It’s all an estimate and not a solid answer that can be applied for everything.
The OP states that these are estimates. Just because an estimate won’t be exactly right doesn’t mean it isn’t useful. People use estimates all the time to help them. For those who are looking for a basic rough idea, this is helpful.
fuck off, let me enjoy this
Things were so much easier back in the day when you could know exactly how many pages 500 words would be. Now that it’s so easy to manipulate pages, they have no real meaning. I can change he margins, increase the font point size or just choose a font that fits me needs for space. Pages are useless these days. That is why almost al assignments are done with word counts. Everyone knows how easy it is to manipulate pages that it’s the only way to ensure assignments are done correctly.
What am I supposed to do if I write 1000 words, but it doesn’t make the number of pages I want? I don’t think I should have to write more words just because mine happen to be shorter than my classmates. We both wrote the same number of words, his are just longer so it takes up more pages. That means people who write long words have an advantage even though long words aren’t always good to use.
Use longer words and then there isn’t a problem.
Is this really something that’s worth complaining about? The important issue is to write the best essay you can, not the length of words. If you’re focus in only on the words and not what you’ve written, your writing is never going to be good. Focus on what’s important, not on things like this.
Jen, your comment is superb.
Can someone explain to me why so many people are obsessed with word count and page count? If you’re a writer, shouldn’t writing well be the most important thing? Why do writers seem to obsess over word count and page count? I just don’t understand it.
Many authors use word count as a motivational tool. To help them from getting stuck and editing each sentence over and over again as they write, they choose a minimum number of words they want to write each day. These words may not be perfect and will likely need to be heavily edited, but it gets the ideas down and keeps them from getting stuck on one area of their book. It’s a way to motivate them to get the book done. It works well for me, but I know others who don’t do well with it. I think it depends a lot on your personality, but forcing myself to be consistent day in and day out helps me get my books done. Without a daily word count, I would never complete them.
Depending on the genre of book you are writing, word count can be critical in whether or not your writing can actually be published. Publishers like certain genres to be within certain word counts, so any author who hopes to be published has to create their works within these counts.
OMG I’m so glad I wasn’t the only person thinking that!
How many words is a page if the lines are 1.5 spaced? I have a teacher who insists all our essays be spaces 1.5 (not single and not double) and there is no information on this. If I write 1000 words, how much would that be 1.5 spaced?
1000 words 1.5 spaces would be 3 pages. You just need to find the middle point between single-spaced and double-spaced to figure out 1.5 spaced calculations.
Do you know what fonts have the widest spacing so that they fill up the page more quickly? I need to find a wide font so I don’t have to write as many words to fill up the pages on my assignment. If you can send me in the direction of the best wide font to do this, that would be great.
This may help: https://wordcounter.net/words-per-page
I think there should be an industry standard for this. Everyone should just know that 1 page = 500 words. If we could all just agree to that, life would be so much simpler. You have a standard for measurements, you have a standard for time, we should have a standard for the number of words that constitutes a single page. It’s ridiculous that 300 words is a page for one person and 700 words is a page for another person.
A standard would mean that everyone does things the same. People use different fonts, font sizes, line spaces, and a lot more variables.
The real question isn’t how many pages is 2000 words, it’s how many words is 2000 pages. That’s what I want to know!
Who is ever going to read 2000 pages? And if you really wanted to know, you could do the calculations to figure it out. It’s not that difficult. It would be 500,000 words if the pages are doubled spaced, and it would be 1 million words if the pages are single spaced. All you have to do is a little math to figure that out.
Cheers boss
I am confused. Why isn’t the page size factor considered here? Every factor is considered and it is okay but the page numbers also largely vary with respect to the font, font size, spacing and the number of words. The Microsoft word of any version can be made portrait or the landscape-sized, page can be narrowed or broadened.. These all are under the menu “page layout” in the word and under “margins, orientation, size”
If standard size is taken as A4 size then it would be easy for understanding all these. Thanks!
Yes, you can adjust for all those here: https://wordcounter.net/words-per-page
I find these estimates to be off. I write longer words than most, so most of my pages have less words than the estimates on this page. They are off. You should change them so they are more accurate for people who use longer vocabulary words.
They are estimates. Of course there are many factors which will make pages longer or shorter than the estimates provided here. These aren’t absolutes, but general rules of thumb to give you a guestimate.
Why is everything word count these days instead of page count? Page count is so much easier. When I was in school when I was younger, all assignments were page count. Write a 5 page essay. Write a 10 page paper. Now it’s all about words and number of words. It’s so much more complicated.
Page count was great when there were only typewriters and each page was basically the same, but now it’s easy to manipulate page count by changing font size and fonts. You can also adjust margins with a computer. Word count is just a lot more accurate.
is your real name steph steph
I had page count once, just made my text abnormally large ha
Page count is fairly subjective. Word minimum is objective. Makes things easier.
I have a writing assignment in school, and it is always helpful to know how many pages I will need. I think that since teachers don’t give page assignments but only word count assignments, it’s difficult to imagine how many pages that will be.
If one page is the same as 500 words, why don’t teachers just give page count rather than word count?
The reason that teachers don’t assign a number of pages anymore is because it’s too easy to manipulate pages. When students used to write on typewriters, it was common for teachers to assign essays in number of pages. With the adoption of computers in the classroom, teachers switched from pages to work count because it was too easy for the computers to manipulate the font size and page size. By assigning a word count, teachers get a more accurate length of essay than they would if they assigned homework by pages.
Word count is more accurate than page count.
What if you hand write your pages? I don’t like writing rough drafts on the computer, so I do it by hand. How many words will be on my hand written pages? I use a standard 11 x 8.5 inch notebook paper single spaced.
This would depend heavily on how big/small you write. it’s like different fonts take up different amount of space on a page, so does your specific handwriting. The best way to know your per page word count would be to look at past pages and count the number of words you write for each page. it’s time consuming, but any other estimate is bound not to be accurate since it’s so dependent on your handwriting.
It depends on how large or small your letters are. I’m old school as well. I average 240 handwritten words per college ruled sheet.
Do teachers really count the number of words when an assignment is given? They don’t actually count each individual word, so can I just make up a number of words for each page and use that. How would the teacher ever know?
Most of my professors require that we submit things online. This makes it really easy because the computer counts the number of words for them.
Hi would garberick be familiar to you?
It’s very easy to highlight a portion of text and use technology to tell you the word count. This is how I made sure my students hit the word count. (And if a student is way below word count, teachers can tell without even checking because it seems short in comparison to the other students’ essays.)
I don’t get why everyone is so obsessed with word count and page count. Just write a good essay and don’t worry about it. There are more important things to worry about in life!
Some of us get marked down points if we do not hit a certain word count or page count. If I’m assigned a paper and it has to be a minimum number of words, I worry about hitting that number.
I agree that there are a lot of people who are overly concerned with word count, but there are legitimate reasons to keep it in mind as well. @Daniel gives a good example. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. If it’s not something important to you and your writing, you can ignore it.
your right!
people are in school gina
My teacher told me that I needed to write an essay that had 2500 words. I wrote an essay which had 2498 words. I got marks off for not writing an essay with exactly 2500 words. That’s completely ridiculous but my teacher refuse to reinstate the point she took off because she said 2500 words and not 2498 words. I could’ve just said that my was 2500 words and she would’ve never known the difference. I don’t understand why I’m being punished for being honest.
It is pretty petty of your teacher to do that (usually they will give you a range of words to keep within) but it’s also an important lesson in learning to read and follow directions as stated.
that’s stupid, how would YOU feel if your teacher said around 2500 words and you wrote 2499 and you got points nicked off?!
From what this student wrote here, it was not “around 2500 words”. It was “2500 words”. Frustrating? Yes. Possibly a teacher being petty. However, some decisions on the job leave no room for interpretation. A nurse doesn’t give a drug that is “around 10 mg”. It either is 10 or not, and getting it wrong can be tragic. So, in that regard, not a bad lesson, though certainly doesn’t feel good at the time, I know.
it is not petty
You did not put a period at the end of the sentance you must be stupid! See what I did there?
Says the one who doesn’t know how to spell sentence.
Quite petty of your teacher to subtract points for being 2 words short of 2500, but I will say that you could have added a summary sentence. There are many, many programs and online word counters that you could have used to know you were just short. Learn this lesson and don’t make the same mistake in the future. best of luck!
Needed 2 more words? U should’ve just ended it with “Up yours!” LOL!!! No, seriously, life is WAY TOO SHORT to worry if this petty teacher took off a few points! I’d just be PROUD of myself that I got it DONE & that I’m in school & not a drop-out doing drugs!
As a teacher, I would have taken off points too. You didn’t meet the minimum requirement, and then you told on yourself. Now, if you went over by 2 words, that wouldn’t have mattered.
Well as a 10-year-old author of a new book I am writing called Mirrors truth 2 words is not a big deal so calm down your teacher was being petty and kinda stupid 2 words does not matter. Let’s just say my book was 50,998 words long. That makes no sense that someone would criticize me for that
I’m a young writer too and people are impressed that I have over 1,000 words so…
You do realize that 1000 words aren’t that many words right?! I would seriously reevaluate why people feel impressed over that many words even if you are a young writer.
1000 would take like an hour to write
i don’t think so
well you should reconsider being a teacher, haha
The teacher is clearly on a power trip as is yourself. I reckon you both should bow out of teaching
You are not a teacher, A teacher would have helped the student. Engaged him, and explained why. You are a tyrant, and at the slightest mistake should be punished. Because that is the example you have set.
Applying the same principle, I trust you would never contest a speeding infringement if you were caught doing 1 MPH over the speed limit
You should have ended your essay with any acceptable two words English exclamation;)
That’s bizarre
2 WORDS! you got points off for 2 words
Shouldn’t a certain number of words equal a page and vice versa? If I write 500 words, can’t I just say that’s a page and be done with it? Does it really need to be this confusing?
Are these messurements for A4 paper or?
Aye how many words do I have to put if I’m typing a 14 page essay.
Why don’t you use the 15 page word count and subtract just a bit? Your question is quite easily self-answered, as the author has given an extensive guide.
Thanks for this!
This is a great guide, but people should be aware that these are just estimates. For example, I am currently writing a paper and have 5,000 words, but only 17 pages (double spaced). Things like paragraph size and headers need to be taken into account as well.
hey good idea josh
Really useful, thank you
This just isn’t true
This is the best website ever!
This is not accurate for academic papers with 1″ margins. It is closer to 320 per page.
Good guidance as a thumb rule. Normally for online publishing in my view we have to use 12 font size ,single spacing.hence 500 words is one page.
When typing on Microsoft Office 2000 – Word, my page disappears 1/4 way down the page. It just vanishes, without saving typed information. Why? What is the Fix?
It may be because you have earlier changed your paragraph settings on accident, perhaps check that.
It nice that is is here but, it not right lol I have been writing nothing but 5-7 page essays and it is not correct. I am over it
I find that 300 words per page is a better estimate.
Great as a guide line
guys do no i am a pretty good dadafjwiabdwaubfwegaghhfsaddfsdgdttgdxvfesrfsdfesdfe(punching the keyboard) 😀
How many notebook pages can requier for 2000 words for12 font
I have a paper with ~2800 words and it is 3 lines past the 4th page. Single spaced 12pt Times New Roman font.
These conversions are pretty inaccurate. I wrote an essay of 1550 words and it was barely 4.5 pages (according to your conversions, it would be about 7).
I find 300 words per page is a better estimate. Also, make sure you have 1-inch margins.
I have a 70,000 word manuscript that I liked to publish. But when I try to, each publisher just laughs hysterically and call me “neurotic”. I ended up getting more thrown rubbish than money…
Now I’m curious. Please give me the details.
We had standardised pages with specific character count. So, if you chose different fonts or formatting it donsn’t matter, as long you reach the assigned amount of characters. e. g. standard page had 1740ish characters, so if you have to do 10 pages it would be 17400 characters. Makes way more sense since word length can also vary greatly and that system rewards you for using as many short words as possible.
My mom is making me write 6 pages of the dictionary and im 8
I find this is off. A better estimate is that a page is about 300 words (double-spaced). That means five pages is 1,500 words and 10 is about 3,000 words.
This is not accurate I need 7 pages I’m at 2,000 and still only have 6 pages double spaced.
does your count take into consideration font size? because I am writing an argumentative essay and I am almost finished with 5 pages but already 1612 words in times new roman size 12
I’m currently writing a 15 page double-spaced essay. According to your estimates I should be closing in on the finish line of 3750 words, I’m currently at 3200 and I should only have a couple more pages. However, I actually have five more pages to write meaning I’m only 66% done instead of 86% done. I’ve found my pages average 330 words per page at 12 point font Times New Roman, double-spaced. I’d recommend updating these numbers to avoid disappointing more writers.
This is how much authors haft to right?
my teacher said they needed me to write 30,000 words.

For those who work in the writing field or professional publishing sector, the demand for knowing words per page is extremely important. Therefore, calculating words per page is considered necessary.
Feature Function:
Whenever you write an assignment in the college, both a certain number of pages and a word count are required. If your professor required the assignment of a three-page paper on a related topic, you must wonder how many words are in three pages. Actually, there is no precise answer to this question because it depends on the font type, font size, spacing (single-spaced or double-spaced), margins, and paragraph length. Besides, the headings and subheadings also affect the number of words per page.
There are, however, general guidelines for estimating the number of words on a page. For example, a one-page essay includes approximately 500 words with single spacing and 250 words with double spacing.
By accounting for more specific information, the conversion provided by the tool is more accurate. For example, to make an estimate, you can choose from a number of the below:
After you input your text into the text box, you will immediately see the needed information on the right-hand side of the screen. In real-time, detailed indicators such as the number of words, full characters, characters (without punctuation and spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading and speaking time are displayed.
To sum up, knowing how many words per page helps you manage your required word count for your content. This tool will allow you to find an answer to the question regarding the number of words per page, as it all depends on specific factors such as font, size, and spacing.

Yeesh, some of you got really mad at me lol. I was trying to game my procrastination by trying to write before meeting with my advisor about it. I’m mostly still in outline mode.
Lately some meds I take have got me really spacey, so I wanted to see if I could hype myself up like I usually do before deadlines. Unfortunately doesn’t really seem to come anymore. Idk where the adrenaline has gone.

Microsoft 365 Life Hacks > Writing > Single spacing vs. double spacing: When to use which
When writing an essay for school or a business document for work, you may be asked to have either single or double-spaced text. It helps to know when to use which type of line spacing, especially if you aren’t provided with instructions on how to space your document. Learn about single versus double spacing and how the sentences in your document should be spaced out.
Line spacing requirements can vary depending on the type of essay or business document you are writing. If you are just writing a journal entry or are freewriting on your own, you can use whatever type of line spacing you like. However, there are some cases when choosing a specific type of line spacing matters:
Most academic papers must adhere to the spacing requirements of whatever style guide they need to be written in. Most style guides, like MLA and APA , use double spacing. When you are proofreading your essay, be sure to check what line spacing is the requirement for a given style guide. Using the wrong spacing may be an honest mistake, but some strict instructors may end up deducting points for doing so!
Having different line spacing options is helpful for enhancing readability. For instance, a double-spaced document may be easier to browse through, and a single-spaced document will appear shorter and less overwhelming. Double spacing also gives instructors room to leave comments or questions on a printed document to show students where they can improve.
