Hi, Your method in QGIS is sound.  Area is calculated using the wgs84 ellipsoid EPSG 7030. If you reproject to wgs84 zone 35N (I think this is close), area goes from 249566957499.7546m2  to 249566957499.721m2 or a difference of 0.0336 m2.  I don't think densification would change things

Hi, I wonder what method QGIS is using when it computes ellipsoidal area with $area function. I made a test with this EPSG:4326 polygon: POLYGON (( 20.13293641 59.95688345, 26.94617837 60.47397663, 29.74782155 62.56499443, 27.45254202 68.7065034, 23.75771765 68.24937206, 25.42698984
