For epubs using Adobe's more or less standard page calculation, each page is 1024 bytes of compressed data within the chapter files. If there are less than 1024 bytes left at the end of the file, that counts as a page as well.

It does have the advantage that the page number will be the same on any device using that algorithm since it does not depend on the display size or font size. Using very small fonts, I can see two or three page numbers on each screen on my Aura. Going to the other extreme, it can take 20+ page turns to get to the next page number.
