This is an approximation

Every book is designed differently, so your final page count may be higher or lower. The biggest factors are:

Book size: smaller pages hold fewer words.
Font style: some typefaces are wider than others at the same size.
Font size and spacing: larger type and more space between lines mean more pages.
Chapter header design: decorative openers and chapters that start on a right-hand page add pages.
Margins and columns: wider margins shrink the text area; two columns change how text fits.
Everything else: dialogue, images, front and back matter, and printer requirements.

This planning estimate adjusts for trim size, typeface, font size, line spacing, and chapter-opening space; actual typesetting may differ.
