About

International real estate transactions and large-scale agricultural planning often hit a roadblock when dealing with land area units. While Europe and most of the world utilize the Hectare (metric), the United States and UK frequently rely on the Acre (imperial). For real estate agents, farmers, and developers, converting these values accurately is critical for valuation. A rounding error on a 5,000-hectare plot can lead to a discrepancy of dozens of acres, representing significant financial value. This tool not only performs the area conversion but also assists in financial planning by calculating the "Price Per Acre" derived from the total metric price.

Formulas

The conversion factor is fixed based on international yard and pound agreements.

A_ac = A_ha × 2.47105

For financial calculations, determining the price per acre involves dividing the Total Price by the converted Acreage:

Price_/ac = Total PriceA_ha × 2.47105

Frequently Asked Questions

No. A Hectare is significantly larger. One Hectare is approximately 2.47 Acres. You can visualize a Hectare as a square with 100-meter sides (10,000 m²), while an Acre is roughly 4,047 m².

This tool uses the standard international factor: 1 Hectare = 2.4710538146717 Acres. The output is rounded to 3 decimal places for readability, but the underlying calculation preserves high precision.

This calculator uses the International Acre. The US Survey Acre is fractionally different (1 International Acre = 0.999998 Survey Acres). For 99.9% of commercial and real estate applications, the difference is negligible.
