Hoeveel pagina's is 5.000 woorden?

With standard 12-point Times New Roman and one-inch margins, 5,000 words comes out to roughly 10 pages single spaced or 20 pages double spaced. That is the ballpark most professors and editors use.

Real-world use: Five thousand words is a serious writing session. NaNoWriMo participants aim for 50,000 words in a month, so 5,000 is a strong weekly pace.

Academic note: Dissertation chapter drafts and long research papers often exceed 5,000 words.

Double spacing is the default for college essays in the US. Single spacing is more common for blog posts, business documents, and anything you read on a screen.

Font size shifts things. Drop to 11-point and you squeeze in a few more words per page. Bump to 14-point for accessibility and your page count goes up even if the word count stays the same.

Margins matter too. Narrow margins (0.5 inch) can add 10–15% more text per page. Wide margins do the opposite. APA and MLA both specify one-inch margins, so stick with that for academic work.

At an average reading speed of 225 words per minute, 5,000 words takes about 22 minutes to read aloud.
