The formula

Acres = area in square feet ÷ 43,560

Assumptions & limitations (1)
  • Use horizontal dimensions. A triangle uses perpendicular height; trapezoid bases must be parallel.

Worked example

Follow the default numbers.

With the example inputs shown above, the model gives land area: 0.69 acres.

The formula is acres = area in square feet ÷ 43,560. Open the breakdown to trace expenses and assumptions. Change one input at a time to see how your decision changes. This example uses scenario inputs; it is not an offer, tax bill, appraisal or legal determination.

Dimensions must describe the shape

For a rectangle, multiply length by width. For a triangle, multiply base by perpendicular height and divide by two. The height is not necessarily the longest side. Feet and meters are converted before the result is shown in acres, square feet and hectares. Irregular land should be measured with a closed polygon rather than forcing it into a rectangle.

Drawing on the map

Add corners around the parcel and close the polygon. The map computes spherical area and perimeter from latitude and longitude. Move corners to refine the shape. Satellite images and clicked corners can differ from legal boundaries or a survey. The coordinate-entry fallback lets keyboard users calculate without a pointer or third-party map tiles.

A measure is not a boundary opinion

This tool does not retrieve deed boundaries, easements or surveyed parcel lines. Horizontal map distance can differ from fence length on sloped ground. Satellite imagery can have alignment errors. Use a licensed survey for boundary disputes, construction setbacks or a transaction that requires certified acreage.

Units are exact; the measurement may not be

One international acre equals 43,560 square feet and 4,046.8564224 square meters. The unit conversion is exact, but a map outline is only as accurate as the selected corners. Area results do not establish usable, buildable or saleable acreage. Wetlands, access, zoning and setbacks can reduce the area relevant to your plans.

Keep your assumptions with the result
