Get length of text in div using div

I have div with fixed width of 30%. I want to get the length of text in that div.

Here is my fiddle

What i am doing here is ,

var text=$('#test').text();
text=text.trim();
var len=text.length;
alert(text);
alert(len);

I am getting length of only text . How can i get length of text after applying html tags to it.

Current behaviour : Getting length as 105.
Expected behaviour : 29 * total line [ 29 is atmost characters can be in line of div ]

Update

I also want to to count the length including the area (green) shown in following image.
