Plot Area Calculator
Get a rectangular plot's area in square feet, square metres, square yards, acres and Indian local units at once.
About the Plot Area Calculator
Enter the plot's length and width in feet or metres. The calculator gives the area in square feet, square metres and square yards (gaj), and a table with acres, hectares, cents, guntha, marla, kanal and ground.
In India plots are often quoted in square feet or square yards (gaj), and in local units such as cents (Kerala, Tamil Nadu), guntha (Maharashtra, Karnataka) and marla/kanal (Punjab, Haryana).
The formula
Area = length × width
Worked example
A 30 × 40 ft site
- 30 × 40 = 1,200 ft²
- = 111.48 m² = 133.3 square yards (gaj)
- = 2.75 cents or 1.10 guntha
Things to keep in mind
- For non-rectangular plots, use the Map Area Calculator or split the plot into rectangles.
- Some local units vary by district; the land record is the authority.
