About Land Area Calculator

A rectangular plot's area is length times width: 40 by 25 metres is 1000 square metres, which is 0.1 hectares, 0.247 acres or 10,764 square feet. The hectare is defined as exactly 10,000 square metres and the acre as 4046.8564224 square metres, so both conversions are exact rather than approximate.

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 4 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
