Land price calculator

Enter a total price and an area to get the price per acre, hectare, square foot and square meter — or switch to calculate the total from a price per unit.

Price per acre
15,000

    Formulas

    price per unit = total price ÷ area (in that unit) total price = price per unit × area (in that unit) per acre = per ft² × 43,560 = per m² × 4,046.8564224 per hectare = per m² × 10,000 = per acre × 2.4710538

    Worked example

    A 12.5-acre parcel is listed at 187,500. Price per acre = 187,500 ÷ 12.5 = 15,000. The parcel is 12.5 × 4,046.8564224 = 50,585.7 m², or 5.0586 ha, so the price per hectare is 187,500 ÷ 5.0586 ≈ 37,066, and per square foot 187,500 ÷ 544,500 ≈ 0.344.

    Getting the area right

    A price per acre is only as good as the acreage behind it. Listings sometimes round the area, include road frontage or easements, or quote “gross” and “net” acres differently. If you can, measure the parcel yourself — draw it on the map calculator or walk it with the Land Measure app — and check the figure on the deed or survey. In regions that use local units such as bigha, marla or rai, convert first with the land area converter; those units vary by place, and your land records give the official size.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I calculate price per acre?

    Divide the total price by the area in acres. A 12.5-acre parcel listed at 187,500 costs 187,500 ÷ 12.5 = 15,000 per acre. If the area is in square feet, first divide it by 43,560 to get acres.

    How do I compare listings in different units?

    Convert both to the same price per unit. Enter each listing’s price and area here and compare the per-acre (or per-hectare, per-square-foot) figures side by side.

    Does the calculator handle currency?

    It works with any currency: enter amounts in the currency you use and read the results in the same currency. It doesn’t convert between currencies.

    Why does price per square foot look so small for farmland?

    An acre has 43,560 square feet, so even expensive farmland works out to a small number per square foot. Per-square-foot prices are more natural for building lots; per-acre or per-hectare for farmland.
