[LaTeX] What are the standard margins on a latex document?

[nonequilibrium]

I'm working with a

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

document and plan on adjusting the margins using the geometry package, but for this it would be handy to know an estimate of the current margin widths. Does anybody know them, or where I can find it?

The geometry package provides a nice way to override the defaults if you want to do that (and the default settings do leave a whole lot of space on the margins).

Thank you :)
