Area Converter

sq ft, sq m, acres, hectares.

How this calculator works

Converts between square feet, square meters, acres, hectares, and square miles.

1 acre = 43,560 sq ft = 4,046.86 sq m. 1 hectare = 10,000 sq m ≈ 2.471 acres.

Real estate listings often mix units depending on the country and property type — residential space in square feet or square meters, but land parcels in acres or hectares — so converting between them comes up often when comparing properties internationally.

Example

1,000 sq ft ≈ 92.90 sq m.

Frequently asked questions

Acres vs hectares?

1 hectare ≈ 2.47 acres. Hectares are metric, common outside the US and UK for land measurement.

How big is 1 acre?

About the size of an American football field without the end zones.

Why is a hectare exactly 10,000 square meters?

It was deliberately defined that way as part of the metric system — a hectare is simply a 100m × 100m square, making it easy to reason about.
