To convert acres to hectares, multiply by 0.404686. One hectare is 10,000 m² and one acre is 4,046.856 m², so the conversion is:
Equivalently, 1 hectare = 2.471 acres. Both units measure land area; hectares are metric and acres are imperial.
Useful benchmarks for acres to hectares:
To convert acres to hectares, multiply the number of acres by 0.404686. Since 1 acre = 4,046.856 m² and 1 hectare = 10,000 m², one acre equals 4,046.856 ÷ 10,000 = 0.404686 hectares. To go back from hectares to acres, multiply by 2.47105.
For example, 25 acres = 25 x 0.404686 = 10.117 hectares. A 100-acre farm is about 40.47 hectares. One square kilometre = 100 hectares = 247.1 acres.
Acres are used in countries like the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada for land measurement. Hectares are the metric standard used in most of the world, especially in Europe, Australia, and Asia. You will commonly need this conversion when comparing land prices internationally, reading agricultural statistics, working with GPS and mapping software, or reviewing land use planning documents.
1 acre = 0.404686 hectares. To convert acres to hectares, multiply by 0.404686. For example, 5 acres = 5 x 0.404686 = 2.023 ha.
1 hectare = 2.47105 acres. A hectare is larger than an acre - a hectare is 10,000 m² (100 m x 100 m), while an acre is about 4,047 m².
