SponsoredThis converter turns hectares into acres (ha to acres). Enter a value and the result updates as you type. 1 hectare is about 2.471054 acres.
A hectare is a square 100 meters on each side and is the usual land unit in most countries, while the acre is still the land unit in the United States. For a quick estimate, multiply hectares by 2.5 and take off about 1%; the converter itself uses the full factor.
The result is rounded to 4 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.
