In 1 square meter there are 0.1 deciares. Meanwhile in 1 deciares there are 10 square meter. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure and how they are calculated. Or just use the Deciares to Square meter calculator above to convert any number.

To convert square meters (m²) to deciares (daa), use this fixed area conversion:
Formula (m² to daa):
Quick examples:
Tip: Moving from m² to daa means you’re grouping area into 1,000 m² blocks, so the number gets smaller by a factor of 1,000.
There are 100 square meters (m²) in 1 deciare (daa). A deciare is a metric land area unit often used for fields and plots.
Divide the area in square meters by 100.
Formula: deciares = square meters ÷ 100
1 m² = 0.01 daa.
That’s because 1 deciare equals 100 m².
50 m² = 0.5 daa.
Work: 50 ÷ 100 = 0.5
100 m² = 1 daa.
This is the base conversion.
250 m² = 2.5 daa.
Work: 250 ÷ 100 = 2.5
500 m² = 5 daa.
Work: 500 ÷ 100 = 5
1,000 m² = 10 daa.
Work: 1,000 ÷ 100 = 10
Multiply deciares by 100 to get square meters.
Formula: square meters = deciares × 100
In most real use, deciare (daa) and decare (da) get used to mean the same land unit, equal to 1,000 m² for a decare.
To avoid mix-ups, check the symbol and local use. If you see daa used for land, many people mean decare (1,000 m²), not deciare (100 m²).
daa is widely used to show decare, a land unit equal to 1,000 m². In some places, people may say “deciare” but write “daa,” which can cause confusion. Always confirm which unit is meant.
A hectare is 10,000 m². Since 1 deciare = 100 m², there are:
1 hectare = 100 deciares
Deciares can be easier for land sizes that feel too large in square meters. Farmers and land owners often prefer larger units for plots, fields, and garden land.
