Enter the total number of units and the area in hectares into the calculator to determine the units per hectare. This calculator helps in understanding the density of units over a given area.

Units Per Hectare Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the units per hectare.

UPH = TU / A

Variables:

  • UPH is the units per hectare
  • TU is the total number of units
  • A is the area in hectares

To calculate the units per hectare, divide the total number of units by the area in hectares.

What is Units Per Hectare?

Units per hectare is a measure of density commonly used in urban planning and agriculture. It indicates how many units, such as residential dwellings or trees, are distributed over one hectare of land. This metric is essential for planning and managing land use to ensure sustainable development and efficient use of space.

How to Calculate Units Per Hectare?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Units Per Hectare.


  1. First, determine the total number of units (TU).
  2. Next, determine the area in hectares (A).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = UPH = TU / A.
  4. Finally, calculate the Units Per Hectare (UPH).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Total number of units (TU) = 150 units

Area in hectares (A) = 2.5 hectares
