SponsoredThis converter turns hectares into square meters (hectare to sq m). Enter a value and the result updates as you type. 1 hectare equals exactly 10,000 square meters.
NIST SP 811 lists the hectare among the units accepted for use with the SI, and it is the usual unit for farms, forests and building land in most countries. Square meters are what site plans and floor areas use, so this conversion moves a land figure into the unit of a building plan.
The result is rounded to 2 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.
How Many Square Meters in a Hectare
There are 10,000 square meters in a hectare. A hectare is a square 100 meters on each side, and 100 × 100 = 10,000. 0.5 hectare is 5,000 square meters and 0.25 hectare is 2,500 square meters.
How to Convert Hectares to Square Meters
To convert hectares to square meters, multiply by 10,000. For example, 2.5 hectares equals exactly 25,000 square meters.
To go from square meters back to hectares, divide by 10,000. For example, 35,000 square meters equals exactly 3.5 hectares.

A hectare is a square 100 meters on each side, about 328 feet. It is about 2.47 acres, or 107,639 square feet. An American football field, end zones included, is about 5,351 square meters, so a hectare is a little under two full fields.
NIST SP 811 defines it as one square hectometer, 10⁴ m². A plot given by its sides in meters is multiplied out with the Length, Width and Area of a Rectangle Calculator, and sowing rates per hectare feed into the Seed Rate Calculator.
