not at all

a varchar will occupy the bytelength of your actual string,
+ a small fixed overhead+padding, except when the total rowsize causes
TOASTing

in single-byte encodings, the string 'okparanoid' will occupy
the same amount of diskspace in a varchar, varchar(10) or a
varchar(1000) column, namely around 16 bytes.

hope this helps
