contents We study period growth in co-context-free groups, giving general results and looking at specific examples such as Thompson groups $T$ and $V$ and the Houghton groups $H_m$. Along the way, we give a refined upper bound on the word metric in Thompson $V$, as well as efficient algorithms to determine if elements of $V$ are torsion, and compute their order. We also adapt our algorithm to compute the rotation number of elements of $T$ and answer a question of D. Calegari.
