SponsoredThis converter turns acres into square kilometers (acres to sq km). Enter a value and the result updates as you type. 1 acre equals exactly 0.0040468564224 square kilometers.
One acre is 0.0040468564224 square kilometers, and a square kilometer holds about 247.1 acres. Large holdings such as ranches, forests and parks are often given in acres in the US and in square kilometers elsewhere, so this conversion lets you compare the two. Dividing acres by about 247.1 gives a quick estimate.
The result is rounded to 6 decimal places, but the factor behind it never is, so long chains of conversions stay accurate. You can type decimals, thousands separators or fractions such as 2 1/2, and the conversion table below lists common values.

Acres per Square Kilometer
A square kilometer is about 247.1054 acres. One site's formula divides by 258.999, which is a different number: the hectares in a square mile. Mixing the two gives answers about 5% too small. Hectares are a useful middle step, since 1 km² is 100 hectares and 1 hectare is about 2.4711 acres.
Yields and stocking rates are usually per acre; the Cattle per Acre Calculator and the Harvest Revenue Estimator both work from acres, so convert square kilometers to acres first.
