About this tool
Every unit here is converted through square feet, so any unit can be turned into any other. The traditional units use their standard values: 1 acre is 43,560 sq ft, 1 decimal is 435.6 sq ft, 1 katha is 720 sq ft (Bangladesh and West Bengal), 1 gunta is 1,089 sq ft and 1 kanal is 5,445 sq ft.
Traditional units are not the same everywhere. A bigha or katha can be a different size in another region, and Nepal has its own katha and bigha. The Nepal units are listed separately and marked.
Examples
