Acreage Calculator

Written by Blake Boege · Founder, Calculator Answers

An acreage calculator is a land surveying utility that converts linear dimensions or overall area measurements into acres. It accepts dimensions in feet, yards, or meters, or accepts overall area inputs in square feet, square yards, or square meters. It applies standard conversion constants (such as dividing square feet by 43,560) to provide accurate acreage estimates for real estate, farming, and landscaping projects.

Estimate the size of any land parcel in acres. Choose between entering dimensions (length and width) or entering the total area directly, and support conversions across feet, yards, and meters.

How it works

An acre is a unit of land area used in the US and imperial systems. The calculator computes the total area in your selected unit and converts it directly to acres:

Area Conversion Factors (1 Acre equals):

1 Acre = 43,560 Square Feet

1 Acre = 4,840 Square Yards

1 Acre = 4,046.8564 Square Meters

Formula (Square Feet to Acres):

Acres = Total Area (sq ft) ÷ 43,560

Frequently asked questions

One acre is exactly 43,560 square feet. It is roughly equivalent to the size of a standard American football field excluding the end zones (which is about 1.1 acres).

Multiply the length by the width in feet to get the total area in square feet, and then divide that number by 43,560. For other units, convert the dimensions to feet first, or divide by the appropriate conversion factor (such as 4,840 for square yards).

There are exactly 640 acres in one square mile (also known as a section of land).

One acre is approximately 4,046.856 square meters, or 0.4047 hectares. To find the acreage from square meters, divide the square meters by 4,046.856.
