View the converted result
The paired field updates immediately to show the equivalent measurement in the other unit, keeping both values in sync.
Use the metric relationships
Remember that ares and hectares both stem from the metric system, making downstream conversions to square meters straightforward.
Formula
Hectares = Ares × 0.01
Ares = Hectares × 100
- 1 are = 100 square meters (m²)
- 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters (m²)
- 1 hectare = 2.471054 acres (approx.)

Full Description
Ares and hectares are widely used in countries that adopt the metric system to describe land parcels, farm plots, parks, and forestry tracts. One hectare equals 100 ares, so moving between the two is as easy as shifting the decimal point. This converter automates that multiplication, saving time when comparing reports or preparing paperwork.
Agriculture and land management professionals often juggle both units depending on the data source. For example, soil assessments may provide figures in hectares, while irrigation plans reference ares. With this calculator, you can stay consistent and avoid transcription errors across documents, spreadsheets, and GIS exports.
Because ares and hectares tie directly to square meters, you can easily expand the calculation to other metrics: multiply hectares by 10,000 to reach square meters, or by approximately 2.471 to convert to acres for international comparisons.
