Question

How many tokens are in a page of text?

A typical English page of 400 to 500 words is roughly 550 to 700 tokens.

English words per token

about 0.75

400-word page

about 530 tokens

500-word page

about 670 tokens

Explanation

A common rough rule is that 1 token is about 0.75 English words or about 4 characters.

Dense technical text, code, tables, and non-English text can change the ratio.

For long documents, estimate by model family and keep a margin for instructions and output.
