A page is a norm, not a physical sheet

Converts characters and words into pages using standard layout norms for coursework, essays and theses.

Academic work is measured in characters, not sheets. The standard page under Russian GOST is 1,800 characters including spaces, which corresponds roughly to Times New Roman at 14 point with 1.5 line spacing and ordinary margins.

Hence the familiar numbers: a 25-page coursework is 45,000 characters and a 60-page thesis about 108,000. Counting in characters is safer, because they do not depend on how your editor happens to be configured.

A word is taken as six characters including the following space — the Russian average; English runs closer to five and a half.

FAQs

How many characters fit on a page?

1,800 with spaces under GOST. Double spacing gives about 1,500 and dense layout up to 2,500.

How many words fit on a page?

About 250 at standard layout. That follows from 1,800 characters and an average Russian word length of about six characters with its space.

How many characters is a coursework paper?

Usually 40,000 to 60,000, which is 22 to 33 standard pages. The department sets the exact requirement.

With spaces or without?

With: that is what the 1,800-character norm and the Word statistics both count. Without spaces the figure comes out about 15 percent lower.

Worked example

A coursework paper

Input: 40,000 characters, GOST layout

Output: 22.2 pages, or 23 rounded up

Note: That is about 6,700 words. Set the same text densely at 12 point with single spacing and it shrinks to sixteen pages — at which point it no longer meets the length requirement.
