How it works
One hectare is 10,000 square meters. An acre is 43,560 square feet, which is a little under half a hectare.
The converter multiplies the hectares by 10,000 to get square meters, then shows the result in acres, or in hectares if you have chosen metric.
Worked example
10 hectares of farmland comes to 24.71 ac.
Questions
Is one hectare always the same size?
Yes. A hectare is 10,000 square meters everywhere, so it is a fixed measure.
Why do US farms still use acres?
Acres come from older English land measures and are still used in US land records, leases and farm sales.
How do I convert acres back to hectares?
Divide the acres by 2.47. One acre is about 0.405 hectares, so the division gives the hectares.
