Formula
result = value × (from.toBase ÷ to.toBase)
Square metres are the base. An acre is 4046.86 m² and a hectare is exactly 10,000 m² — common for farmland and government land records in India.
Worked example
100 square metres is about 1,076 square feet — handy when an Indian apartment brochure lists carpet area in m² but you're comparing to US listings in sq ft.
Where this can give the wrong answer
- 1 acre here is the international acre (4046.86 m²), not the US survey acre (4046.872 m²) — the difference is tiny for everyday use.
- Square feet in this tool are international sq ft (0.092903 m²), aligned with the length conversion for feet.
- Don't convert a linear dimension and square it — a '10 m' room isn't '10 sq m' unless it's a 10×10 m square.
FAQ
- One hectare is 2.471 acres (10,000 m² ÷ 4046.86 m²). Run 1 ha → acres to see the exact figure this calculator uses.
