Acres to Hectares Converter
Acres to Hectares Converter
Acres to hectares is essential for agriculture, forestry, and land transactions — acres remain the standard land unit in the US, UK, and several Commonwealth countries, while hectares are the metric standard used across most of the rest of the world.
This tool goes beyond acres and hectares: use the "From" and "To" dropdowns to convert between any combination of square millimeters, square centimeters, square meters, square kilometers, square inches, square feet, square yards, acres, hectares, and square miles.
- Conversion factor: 1 acre = 0.404686 hectares (and 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters exactly, by metric definition).
- Fully flexible: change either dropdown to convert between any two area units — not just acres and hectares.
- Common use case: comparing farmland or plot listings between a US/UK source (acres) and a source using the metric system (hectares).
How many hectares are in an acre?
1 acre equals approximately 0.4047 hectares. To convert acres to hectares, multiply the acre value by 0.4047.
Can I convert hectares back to acres with this tool?
Yes — just swap the "From" and "To" selectors to Hectares and Acres respectively; the same widget handles both directions and any other unit pair.
