How to Use the Acre Calculator

Welcome to the Acre Calculator, a tool designed to help you convert areas measured in square feet to various units such as acres, hectares, and square meters. Follow the steps below to effectively use the calculator to meet your conversion needs.

Step 1: Enter the Area in Square Feet

Begin by locating the input field labeled Square Feet. This is where you’ll input the area you wish to convert. Ensure the value you enter is a positive number greater than or equal to zero, as negative values are not valid.

Example: If you have a plot of land measuring 50,000 square feet, you will enter “50000” in this field.

Step 2: Select the Unit for Conversion

Next, you will find a dropdown labeled Convert To. Here, you can select the unit to which you want to convert the entered square feet value. The available options are:

• Acres
• Hectares
• Square Meters

Click on the dropdown and select the unit that suits your needs. This is a required step, as the calculator needs to know the target unit for conversion.

Step 3: View the Results

Once you have entered the square feet and selected the conversion unit, the calculator will compute the result based on the conversion logic defined for each unit.

• If you selected Acres, the calculator will divide the square feet by 43,560 and present the result formatted to four decimal places with the suffix ” acres”.
• If you selected Hectares, the calculator will divide the square feet by 107,639.104 and display the result formatted to four decimal places with the suffix ” ha”.
• If you selected Square Meters, the calculator will multiply the square feet by 0.092903 and show the result formatted to two decimal places with the suffix ” m²”.

For our previous example of 50,000 square feet, selecting “Acres” will output approximately “1.1478 acres”.
