About this calculator

A hectare is exactly 10,000 square metres (a 100 m × 100 m square) and converts to 2.47105 acres, since an acre is defined as 4,840 square yards (roughly the area a team of oxen could plow in a day, historically). The hectare is the standard metric unit for land area worldwide, while the acre remains the everyday unit in the US, UK, and a handful of other countries for real estate and agriculture.

Farmers, land surveyors, real-estate professionals, and agricultural economists convert between the two constantly when comparing farm sizes, crop yields (tonnes/hectare vs. bushels/acre), or land prices across a metric country and an acre-based one.
