There are exactly 43,560 square feet in one acre. This standard measurement is used in the imperial system for land area.
Hectares (metric system) and acres (imperial system) are both land area units. 1 hectare equals approximately 2.471 acres. Hectares are more commonly used internationally, while acres are prevalent in the US, UK, and some Commonwealth countries.
In Tamil Nadu, 1 ground equals 2,400 square feet. However, in other regions, the size of a ground may vary slightly, so always confirm local measurements.
Different regions developed their own traditional units (grounds, cents) before standardization. Today, metric (m², hectares) and imperial (ft², acres) systems coexist globally, requiring conversion tools like ours.
Our calculator uses precise conversion factors (up to 8 decimal places) for maximum accuracy. However, for legal property transactions, always consult official survey documents.
