Cent to square meter converter explained

In parts of South Asia, a cent is a land unit equal to one hundredth of an acre. This converter turns cents into square meters, square feet, or acres so deeds, sale listings, and survey notes stay consistent.

How the conversion works

International acre to meter link:

1\,\text{acre} = 4046.8564224\,\text{m}^2

Because 1 cent = 0.01 acre:

1\,\text{cent} = 4046.8564224 \times 0.01 = 40.468564224\,\text{m}^2

Forward and reverse:

\text{m}^2 = \text{cents} \times 40.468564224

\text{cents} = \frac{\text{m}^2}{40.468564224}

Square feet use $1\,\text{ft}^2 = 0.09290304\,\text{m}^2$ .

Units and conversions

Unit	Relation
Cent	1 cent = 40.468564224 m² = 435.6 ft²
Square meter (m²)	base in this view
Square foot (ft²)	1 ft² = 0.09290304 m²
Acre	1 acre = 4046.8564224 m² = 100 cents
Hectare (ha)	1 ha = 10,000 m² = 247.10538147 cents

Worked examples

Plot advertised in cents Listing: 15 cents.
$\text{m}^2 = 15 \times 40.468564224 = 607.02846336\,\text{m}^2$ $\text{ft}^2 = \frac{607.02846336}{0.09290304} \approx 6535.2\,\text{ft}^2$
Result: ≈607.0 m², ≈6,535 ft².
Converting from a plan in ft² Site plan shows 5,000 ft²:
$\text{m}^2 = 5000 \times 0.09290304 = 464.5152\,\text{m}^2$ $\text{cents} = \frac{464.5152}{40.468564224} \approx 11.4784$
Result: ≈11.48 cents.

Tips and pitfalls

Use international acre factors; survey acres differ slightly but shift cents by only ≈0.004%.
Keep three decimal places in cents when back-calculating from m² to avoid rounding errors on larger parcels.
For compliance documents that demand hectares, divide m² by 10,000 after the cent conversion.
