Type a value in square meters (m²) to get hectares (ha) straight away. A square meter is smaller than a hectare, so the number goes down. Both units belong to area, measured here against the square meter.
1 m² = 0.0001 ha
Formula
ha = m² × 0.0001
One square meter is 0.0001 hectares, so multiply by that factor. You can also divide by 10,000, the number of square meters in one hectare. Here m² is the value in square meters and ha is the result in hectares.
Worked example: 100 square meters × 0.0001 = 0.01 hectares.
