SponsoredThis converter turns square kilometers into acres (sq km to acres). Enter a value and the result updates as you type. 1 square kilometer is about 247.105381 acres.
A square kilometer is about 247.1 acres, so square kilometers multiply by about 247.1 to give acres. Park, forest and farm areas are often given in square kilometers outside the US, while US land, loans and yields are figured per acre, so this conversion links the two.
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 to Convert Square Kilometers to Acres

How Many Acres in a Square Kilometer
One square kilometer is about 247.1054 acres. The number 259 belongs to a different pair: a square mile is about 259 hectares. A formula that mixes them up comes out about 5% off. Going through hectares avoids the mix-up: 1 km² is 100 ha, and each hectare is about 2.4711 acres.
Stocking and yield figures per acre then apply, as in the Cattle per Acre Calculator and the Crop Yield per Acre Calculator.
