    Basically, you can count that by spending a few minutes on your own.

    Just search in Google, Yahoo or Bing for any keyword.

    Try to find the lengthy title that ends with "...", which indicates that the title length is more than the search engine's supported length to show visitors.

    For example, Google only shows first 60 character from meta title.

    Meta description length will be 150 character in Google.

    Hope this helps.

    Description meta tag must be less than 200 chars.
    Google no longer "relies" upon this tag, but will often use it. keyword meta tag must be not less than 10 words ...

    I think so the number of characters for the meta-tags should be like below
    Title- 60-65 Char
    Description: 150-160 Char
    Keywords- 10-12 keywords in keyword tag

    Title should be between 60-70 Characters and Description: 140-160 Characters.
