Property in India is advertised in square feet, registered in square metres and talked about in gaj or decimal depending on the state. This converter gives all of them from one figure, so the number on the brochure and the number on the deed can be compared directly.

1. Enter the area in square feet.
2. Read the same area in square metres, square yards, decimal, acres and hectares.

square metres = square feet × 0.09290304
square yards  = square feet ÷ 9
acres         = square feet ÷ 43,560

Area factors are the square of the length factor: 0.3048² is 0.09290304. All three are exact.

A flat advertised as 1,200 square feet.

1,200 sq ft is 111.48 sq m — the figure that will appear on the sale deed.

• Square yard and decimal are fixed, national units. Bigha, katha, kanal and marla are not — their size varies by state, so they are handled separately and always shown with the region they apply to.
• A brochure figure is usually super built-up area, which includes a share of the corridors and lifts. Converting it does not turn it into carpet area.
