Land and Area Unit Converter
Convert between every Indian land unit and the metric ones, without the bigha trap.
Why this exists. Bigha varies by state from about nine thousand square feet to twenty seven thousand. Converters that hard code one value are wrong by up to four times, and most of them do.
Everything here is calculated in your browser. Your numbers are never sent anywhere, stored or seen by us.

How this is calculated
- Square foot to square metre, acre and hectare conversions are exact by international definition, because one inch is defined as exactly 25.4 mm.
- Bigha, katha and biswa are not standardised and vary by state and sometimes within a state between pucca and kaccha measures. Always confirm against the land record.
