Land rate converter — per acre to per sq ft, bigha, marla and gaj

To turn a rate per acre into a rate per square foot, divide it by 43,560 — so ₹50 lakh per acre is about ₹115 per sq ft, ₹1,033 per gaj, ₹6.25 lakh per kanal and ₹31,250 per marla. Type any rate (or a total price and the area) and see it in every Indian land unit at once, with your state’s bigha size, the units used locally shown first, and totals in lakh, crore and words.

Fixed units (acre, hectare, sq ft, gaj, kanal, marla, guntha, cent) are exact. Bigha, biswa and katha change from state to state — and sometimes between districts — so check the size written on your own land record or ask the patwari. Some dealers in towns use a smaller “marla” than the revenue marla of 272.25 sq ft, so confirm which one a quote means. This converts prices; it isn’t a valuation or the government circle rate.

How to use it

  1. Choose “I know the rate” to convert a rate, or “I know the total price” to work out the rate from a deal you were quoted.
  2. Pick your state — it sets the size of a bigha, biswa and katha and puts the units used there first.
  3. Type the rate the way you heard it — 50 lakh, 2,000, 1.2 crore — and choose the unit it is per. Add an area to get the total price.
  4. Read the rate in every unit. Tap any unit to make it the headline and see the working, or copy all rates to share on WhatsApp.

How do I convert a land rate per acre to per square foot?

Divide the rate per acre by 43,560, because one acre is 43,560 sq ft. ₹50 lakh per acre ÷ 43,560 = about ₹114.78 per sq ft. Going the other way, multiply: ₹2,000 per sq ft × 43,560 = ₹8.71 crore per acre.

The same rule works for every unit: a bigger unit costs more per unit, by exactly how many of the smaller unit fit inside it. One acre is 4,840 gaj (sq yards), 8 kanal, 160 marla, 40 guntha, 100 cent and about 4,047 sq m — so ₹50 lakh per acre is ₹1,033 per gaj, ₹6.25 lakh per kanal, ₹31,250 per marla, ₹1.25 lakh per guntha and ₹50,000 per cent.

How do I calculate a per bigha rate?

First find out how big a bigha is where the land is, because it is not the same across India. Using common reference sizes, a bigha is about 27,000 sq ft in Uttar Pradesh, 9,070 sq ft in Punjab, 14,400 sq ft in West Bengal and 17,424 sq ft in Gujarat — and it can differ between districts too.

Then divide the rate per bigha by that size to get the rate per sq ft. ₹10 lakh per bigha is about ₹37 per sq ft with a UP bigha, but about ₹110 per sq ft with a Punjab bigha — three times as much for the same headline figure. Always confirm the bigha size on the land record or with the patwari before comparing quotes.

What is a marla and a kanal rate in sq ft?

In the revenue records of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal and Jammu & Kashmir, 1 kanal = 20 marla = 5,445 sq ft, and 1 marla = 272.25 sq ft (30.25 gaj). 8 kanal make an acre.

So ₹5 lakh per marla is about ₹1,837 per sq ft, ₹1 crore per kanal and ₹8 crore per acre. In some towns, dealers use a smaller marla (often 225 or 250 sq ft) for house plots — ask which marla a quote means before you compare it with a farmland rate.

How do I work out the rate from a total price?

Divide the total price by the area. If someone offers ₹1.2 crore for 2 acres, that is ₹60 lakh per acre — or ₹7.5 lakh per kanal, ₹1.5 lakh per guntha or about ₹138 per sq ft. Choose “I know the total price” above and the tool does this for every unit.

This is the quickest way to compare offers quoted in different units, or to check a figure against the government circle rate for the area, which is often published per acre, per hectare or per square metre.

Is the land rate the same as the circle rate?

No. The rate you are quoted is the market price agreed between buyer and seller. The circle rate (also called guideline value, ready reckoner rate or DLC rate) is the minimum value the state sets for stamp duty, and it is often lower than the market price in growing areas.

If a sale is registered below the circle rate, stamp duty is charged on the circle rate, and the gap can be taxed for both seller and buyer. Convert the circle rate into the same unit as your quote with this tool before you agree a figure.

Questions people ask

Divide by 43,560. For example, ₹50 lakh per acre ÷ 43,560 = about ₹114.78 per sq ft, and ₹1 crore per acre is about ₹229.57 per sq ft.

₹48.4 lakh per acre. One acre is 4,840 sq yards (gaj), so multiply the rate per gaj by 4,840. ₹25,000 per gaj is ₹12.1 crore per acre.

160 marla, using the revenue marla of 272.25 sq ft (1 acre = 8 kanal, and 1 kanal = 20 marla). So a rate per acre divided by 160 gives the rate per marla.

A bigha is a different size in different states — and sometimes in different districts. With common reference sizes, a UP bigha (about 27,000 sq ft) is almost three times a Punjab bigha (about 9,070 sq ft), so the same rate per bigha means very different prices per sq ft. Pick the right state and check the size on the land record.

Multiply the rate by the area in the same unit: ₹6 lakh per kanal × 4 kanal = ₹24 lakh. If the units differ, convert first — add the area in the tool above and it shows the total in rupees, lakh-crore and words.
