Writing a book becomes less intimidating when the total is divided into smaller decisions. These calculators are deliberately simple. Use them to set a target, then get back to the writing.

Writing goal

Words per day calculator

Set a manuscript target and the number of writing days available.

2,500 words per day

Print estimate

Book page count estimator

Estimate the approximate number of printed pages from a manuscript word count.

About 320 pages

This is a planning estimate. Trim size, typeface, spacing and chapter design can change the final total considerably.

Structure

Chapter length calculator

See the average chapter length implied by your manuscript target and chapter count.

Average 2,500 words per chapter

Use the numbers as a guide, not a rule

A chapter can be short because the scene needs speed. A novel can finish below its original target because the story is complete. These figures help with planning, but the manuscript should still be shaped by the reader's experience.
