Convert Hectare to Are
1 hectare = 100 are (are). For example, 10 hectare = 1,000 are and 100 hectare = 10,000 are. Type any value below to convert hectare to are both ways — it runs entirely in your browser.
Quick answer: Hectare to Are
1 Hectare = 100 Are (ha → are). To convert hectare to are, multiply by 100. To convert are to hectare, multiply by 0.01. The converter at the top does this instantly and both ways; the sections below give the formula, worked examples, a full conversion chart and answers to the most common hectare-to-are questions.
How to convert Hectare to Are
To convert hectare to are, multiply the number of hectare by the conversion factor 100, because 1 ha = 100 are. The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 are = 0.01 ha, so you divide by 100 (or multiply by 0.01) to turn are back into hectare.
are = ha × 100 ·
ha = are × 0.01
- Write down the value you want to convert, in hectare.
- Multiply it by 100.
- The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in are.

Hectare vs Are: which is bigger?
A hectare is the larger unit: one hectare equals 100 ares. Put another way, you need 100 ares to make a single hectare.
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.
What is a Are? History, origin and usage
The are is the original metric unit of land area, established by the French Revolutionary metric law of 1795 as 100 square metres. Its name comes from the Latin area, and it gave rise to the much more widely used hectare (100 ares).
Today the are itself is rarely used in everyday measurement, having been largely displaced by the square metre and the hectare. It survives mainly in a few European cadastral contexts and as the building block from which the hectare is defined.
One are is a square of 10 metres by 10 metres, and 100 ares make one hectare. It is one of the few metric units whose name survives chiefly inside a larger derived unit.

Tips for converting Hectare to Are
- To go from hectare to are, multiply by 100; to go back, divide by 100 (or multiply by 0.01).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 hectare ≈ 100 are, so 10 hectare ≈ 1,000 are.
- The converter above keeps full precision; the tables round for readability, so use the tool for exact figures.
- Both fields update live as you type — change either side to convert in that direction.
How to use this Hectare to Are converter
Type a number into the Hectare field and the equivalent in Are 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 Are field to convert the other way (are to hectare). 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 ha = 100 are), 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 hectare-to-are 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.
Frequently asked questions
- How many are are in 1 hectare?
- 1 hectare = 100 are (are). To convert any number of hectare to are, multiply by 100.
- How do I convert hectare to are?
- Multiply the number of hectare by 100. For example, 10 hectare = 10 × 100 = 1,000 are, and 25 hectare = 2,500 are.
- How many hectare are in 1 are?
- 1 are = 0.01 hectare. So to convert are back to hectare, multiply by 0.01.
- What is the formula to convert hectare to are?
- are = hectare × 100. The reverse formula is hectare = are × 0.01.
- How much is 100 hectare in are?
- 100 hectare = 10,000 are. (And 1000 hectare = 100,000 are.)
- Which is bigger, a hectare or a are?
- A hectare is larger: 1 hectare = 100 are.
- Is this hectare to are converter accurate?
- Yes — every value is computed from the exact 100 are per ha factor (not rounded look-up tables), and the factors are re-verified automatically on every update.
- Can I convert are to hectare too?
- Yes. The converter works both ways — enter a value in either field. 1 are = 0.01 hectare.
