How to use this calculator

  1. Enter text area height in mm.
  2. Enter leading in pt.
  3. Select Calculate and keep the output unit with the answer.

Before you use the answer

Confirm the production specification with the printer or delivery platform before choosing dimensions. Keep trim, bleed, live area and pixel density distinct. Numerical consistency helps prevent avoidable rework, but a final proof remains necessary to judge the finished layout.

First-baseline settings, paragraph spacing and font metrics can change the actual layout.

Why might a result be approximate?

Measurement uncertainty, ideal-model assumptions and floating-point rounding can all matter. Displaying more digits does not improve the original measurement.
