UTIL-ACR-001v1.0.0Project inputs
Enter your measurements. Switching units converts the same project, including coverage and unit rates. Package yields keep the unit printed beside each field.
Refine measurements and rates at any time. Your current values are included in the material-list PDF.
Planning estimate, not engineering advice. Confirm site measurements and product specifications. Calculation limits.
Rectangular length times width, divided by 43,560 for acres and by 10,000 m² for hectares. This is a planning area, not a boundary survey.
- Measure or scale the two sides of a rectangle that matches the tract.
- Split odd shapes into rectangles and add the acres on the estimate.
- Do not use this number to move a fence. Hire a survey when the line matters.

Rectangular length times width, divided by 43,560 for acres and by 10,000 m² for hectares. This is a planning area, not a boundary survey.
UTIL-ACR-001 converts a rectangular tract into acres, square feet and hectares. It is not a survey, not a GIS parcel and not a legal description. Irregular plots need more than one rectangle.
Worked example. Example: a 200 × 150 ft tract is 30,000 ft², 0.69 acres and 0.279 hectares.

This separate example uses the calculator's starting values in imperial units. It stays unchanged when you edit the tool above. Example rates, yields and dimensions are assumptions, not recommendations for your project.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Length | 200 ft |
| Width | 150 ft |
Example result: Acres — 0.69 acres.
length × width ÷ 43,560
Use the labelled units above when reproducing this example. To work in metric, switch the calculator to Metric; applicable measurements are converted, while product-specific units remain labelled.
- 1. Measure or scale the two sides of a rectangle that matches the tract.
- 2. Split odd shapes into rectangles and add the acres on the estimate.
- 3. Do not use this number to move a fence. Hire a survey when the line matters.
Field notes that change the number
- Enter the sides of the rectangle you actually measured.
- Split an L-shaped lot rather than averaging it.
- A hectare check is a unit conversion, not a cadastral fact.
Common mistakes
- Treating this as a property survey.
- Using a single rectangle on a dog-leg plot.
- Mixing feet and metres on one line.

Questions
Questions about acreage
GIS or deed acres?
Those can disagree with a tape. This tool is length × width only.
Metric?
Switch units to enter metres. The hectare line uses the same rectangle.
What is the formula ID?
This acreage calculator publishes formula UTIL-ACR-001, version 1.0.0. The ID stays on the result and on the estimate line.
