I made a cheat-sheet that lists the total number of tiles for given zoom-levels.

It has two tables. One showing the number of zoom-levels needed to show things at a certain scale, starting from a tile showing people.

level 1: 1 # Person
level 2: 5 # Car
level 3: 21 # House building
level 4: 85 # Square
level 5: 341 # Small neighbourhood
level 6: 1,365 # Football stadium
level 7: 5,461 # Small farm
level 8: 21,845 # Central park New York
level 9: 87,381 # Entire airport
level 10: 349,525 # Small city (Copenhagen)
level 11: 1,398,101 # Medium city (Amsterdam)
level 12: 5,592,405 # Large city (London)
level 13: 22,369,621 # Medium Island (Mallorca)
level 14: 89,478,485 # Large Island (Sicily)
level 15: 357,913,941 # Small country (Denmark, Estonia, Taiwan)
level 16: 1,431,655,765 # Medium Country (Korea, Greece)
level 17: 5,726,623,061 # Region (Southern Europe, Arabian Peninsula)
level 18: 22,906,492,245 # Small continent or large country (China)
level 19: 91,625,968,981 # Medium continent (Africa) or huge country (Russia) 
level 20: 366,503,875,925 # Asia
level 21: 1,466,015,503,701 # The World

The other one show the number of zoom levels needed if starting with a world map, and progressive detail levels:

level 1: 1 # The World
level 2: 5 # Large contenents
level 3: 21 # Medium continents, huge countries
level 4: 85 # Small continents, large countries
level 5: 341 # Region (Southern Europe, Arabian Peninsula)
level 6: 1,365 # Medium Country (Korea, Greece)
level 7: 5,461 # Small country (Denmark, Estonia, Taiwan)
level 8: 21,845 # Large Island (Sicily)
level 9: 87,381 # Medium Island (Mallorca)
level 10: 349,525 # Large city (London)
level 11: 1,398,101 # Medium city (Amsterdam)
level 12: 5,592,405 # Small city (Copenhagen)
level 13: 22,369,621 # Entire airport
level 14: 89,478,485 # Central park New York
level 15: 357,913,941 # Small farm
level 16: 1,431,655,765 # Football stadium
level 17: 5,726,623,061 # Small neighbourhood
level 18: 22,906,492,245 # Square
level 19: 91,625,968,981 # House building 
level 20: 366,503,875,925 # Car
level 21: 1,466,015,503,701 # Person
