There’s 8 billion humans on earth, and if you assume that’s the average planet population in the empire, you’re only maybe a trillion of there’s over 100 planetary civilizations under imperial rule.
I’m not a big enough nerd to know how many there really are, but thinking back to how many reps were in the republic senate scenes, it’s probably around a trillion (they generally rep a planet, right?). But that’s being generous, plenty of those planets are noticably smaller than Earth and I don’t think they all end up imperial.
Coruscant has a radius of 6120km, negligible surface water, and 5127 levels, though the lowest ones aren’t really habitable or inhabited. Population as of 132 BBY was 2,981,780,000,000
Billions of beings? China and India are not far off of billions. It should at least(!) be trillions.

From what we’ve seen in the movies, there’s six planets, maybe ten, in the empire. The others are most likely imperial propaganda.
Coruscant’s entire surface is covered with a single city with a population density like Tokyo
If we’ve got an estimated surface size, could be an interesting math problem.
