What is a Rood? History, origin and usage
A rood is a quarter of an acre — 1,210 square yards (10,890 sq ft), or 40 square perches. It is the middle figure in the old "acres, roods and perches" way of writing a land area, so 3 roods means three-quarters of an acre.
What is a Hectare? History, origin and usage
The hectare belongs to the metric system created during the French Revolution; the law of 18 Germinal, Year III (1795) defined the are as 100 square metres for measuring land. The hectare is 100 ares, its name combining the Greek hecto- (hundred) with the are.
It is the legal unit for land area across the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and much of the world, used in agriculture, forestry, planning and land management. In India it appears in official agricultural statistics and land records alongside the acre.
One hectare is 10,000 square metres, about 2.47 acres, and 100 hectares make one square kilometre. It is close in size to an international rugby pitch, which makes it a handy mental yardstick.

How to use this Rood to Hectare converter
Type a number into the Rood field and the equivalent in Hectare appears instantly — there is no “convert” button to press and nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline once the page has loaded and is safe for any data. You can also type into the Hectare field to convert the other way (hectare to rood). Use the swap control to flip the two units, and copy the result with a single click. Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.
Accuracy and method
Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 rood = 0.1011714 ha), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for rood-to-hectare conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
Sources
- BIPM — The International System of Units (SI Brochure) — the defining document for the SI, published by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. It fixes the base unit that this conversion resolves to, which is why the factor here can be exact rather than approximate.
- NIST — Definitions of the SI base units — the US National Institute of Standards and Technology reference for the SI base units, used here as an independent cross-check on the base-unit definition.
Indian land units can vary by state and local custom. This converter uses the most widely accepted standard value; always confirm against your local revenue records (patwari / tehsil) for legal transactions.
