How the Acreage Calculator Works
Whether you're planning a garden, buying a plot of land, or just curious about the size of a field, our Acreage Calculator makes it simple. It instantly converts dimensions (width and length) into area measurements like acres, hectares, and square feet.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Enter Dimensions: Input the width and length of your land. You can use any unit you like—feet, meters, yards, or even kilometers.
- Get Instant Results: The calculator immediately shows the total area in Acres.
- Check Other Units: Need the result in Hectares or Square Meters? Just select your desired unit from the dropdown menu.
- Calculate Cost (Optional): Enter the price per unit (e.g., price per acre) to see the total estimated cost of the land.
Converting Hectares to Acres
This is one of the most common conversions in real estate and agriculture, especially when dealing with international properties. While the metric system (hectares) is standard in many parts of the world, the imperial system (acres) is still widely used in the US, UK, and Canada.
💡 Quick Rule of Thumb:
1 Hectare ≈ 2.47 Acres
So, if you have 10 hectares, you have roughly 24.7 acres. It's a bit more than double!
Acres to Square Meters
For smaller plots of land or when you need more precision for construction projects, converting acres to square meters is essential. Square meters give you a much finer grain of detail than acres.
The Math
1 Acre = 4,046.86 m²
Why it matters
Crucial for planning building footprints, gardens, or irrigation systems where every meter counts.
Acres to Square Miles
Dealing with massive tracts of land? Maybe a national park or a large ranch? That's when you switch from acres to square miles.
There are 640 acres in 1 square mile. This conversion is often used in large-scale land surveying and mapping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I manually convert hectares to acres?
A: It's simple multiplication! Take your number of hectares and multiply it by 2.471. For example, 2 hectares × 2.471 = 4.942 acres.
Q: Which is bigger, an acre or a hectare?
A: A hectare is bigger. In fact, you can fit almost two and a half acres inside a single hectare. Think of an acre as roughly the size of an American football field (without the end zones), while a hectare is more like two full soccer fields side-by-side.
Q: What is 20 hectares in acres?
A: 20 hectares is approximately 49.42 acres. You can calculate this by multiplying 20 by 2.471054.
