1 hectare = 10,000 m² = 2.471 acres; 1 acre = 4,046.86 m²; 1 dunam/decare (the common unit in Türkiye and the Middle East) = 1,000 m², so 10 dunams make a hectare. Enter a value in any unit and the rest update instantly.

Rules of thumb: an acre is about three-quarters of an American football field; a hectare is a rugby pitch and a half; a 30×33 m suburban plot is roughly one dunam. Deeds and cadastral records normally state m² — convert from that figure for accuracy rather than from a rounded acreage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dunam exactly?

The metric dunam (decare) is exactly 1,000 m². Historic Ottoman dunams varied by region (~919 m² classic); modern records across Türkiye, Israel and the Balkans use the metric value.

How many acres in a hectare?

2.4711 acres. Going the other way, 1 acre = 0.4047 hectare — handy mental math: acres × 0.4 ≈ hectares.
