How many tokens is 1000 words?
As a rule of thumb, 1000 words of English prose is about 1,300–1,500 tokens for GPT-style tokenizers, roughly 0.75 words per token, or 1.33 tokens per word. The exact number depends on the tokenizer and the kind of text.
| Content type | Tokens per word | Tokens in 1000 words |
|---|---|---|
| Plain English prose | ~1.33 | ~1,300 |
| Technical / code-heavy | ~1.5 | ~1,500 |
| JSON / structured data | ~1.6 | ~1,600 |
| Non-Latin scripts | 2+ | 2,000+ |
