Alan,
The zoom level is displayed on OSM in the url. For example,
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/48.46099/-122.33798 the zoom level is
17. Notice when you zoom in or out, the map= changes each time.

JOSM is a little more hidden, a right click on the background image gives
the option of "Show Tile Info" with the zoom level indicated in the Tile
Name.
