Summary1 ha = 2.471054 acres

One hectare is about 2.471 acres — roughly the size of an international rugby pitch.

Diagram: how the Area Converter works — you enter Area, From, To; it applies the formula Result = Value × (factor of from-unit in m²) ÷ (factor of to-unit i…; and the worked example gives Converted area: 2.471054.
How the Area Converter works — the inputs, the formula, and a worked example (Converted area: 2.471054).

Convert land and surface areas through the square metre. One hectare is exactly 10,000 m², one acre is exactly 4046.8564224 m² (43,560 square feet), and one square foot is exactly 0.09290304 m².

Areas scale with the square of length: there are 10.764 square feet in a square metre, not 3.28 — a common source of conversion mistakes.

The formula

Result = Value × (factor of from-unit in m²) ÷ (factor of to-unit in m²)

Worked example

One hectare is about 2.471 acres — roughly the size of an international rugby pitch.

Worked example for the Area Converter: with Area 1, From Hectares (ha), To Acres, the result is Converted area: 2.471054; Summary: 1 ha = 2.471054 acres.
