Quick Summary

Use this when you need:

Translate land ads in gaj to square yards or square feet for North American buyers
Cross-check cadastral records that mix gaj and metric measurements
Estimate construction material needs from plot sizes given in gaj

You’ll get:Area

How this is calculated

Formula:

area_target = area_source

In plain language:

All entries normalize to square meters; gaj is treated as one square yard (9 square feet, 0.83612736 m^2).

The formula is always visible so you can verify the math and explain your numbers to anyone who asks.

Gaj to square yard explained

Property ads in parts of India quote plot size in gaj. One gaj equals one square yard: $1\,\text{gaj} = 1\,\text{yd}^2 = 9\,\text{ft}^2 = 0.83612736\,\text{m}^2$ . Enter any value once to see it as gaj, square yards, square feet, hectares, or acres, so you can compare survey documents and building codes without reworking the math.

How the conversion works

The converter normalizes every entry to square metres, then scales into the requested unit.

$A_{\text{m}^2} = A_{\text{gaj}} \times 0.83612736$ $A_{\text{gaj}} = A_{\text{m}^2} \div 0.83612736$

Square feet and acres follow from the same base: $1\,\text{yd}^2 = 9\,\text{ft}^2$ and $1\,\text{acre} = 4{,}840\,\text{yd}^2$ .

Units and conversions

Unit	Symbol	Relation to m²
Gaj / square yard	yd²	$1\,\text{yd}^2 = 0.83612736\,\text{m}^2$
Square foot	ft²	$1\,\text{ft}^2 = 0.09290304\,\text{m}^2$
Hectare	ha	$1\,\text{ha} = 10{,}000\,\text{m}^2$
Acre	ac	$1\,\text{ac} = 4{,}046.8564224\,\text{m}^2$

Worked examples

City plot quoted in gaj
$120\,\text{gaj} \times 9 = 1{,}080\,\text{ft}^2$ ; the same area is $120\,\text{yd}^2$ or about $100.34\,\text{m}^2$ .
Warehouse spec in square feet
$2{,}000\,\text{ft}^2 \div 9 \approx 222.22\,\text{gaj}$ (and square yards); that equals $185\,\text{m}^2$ .
Farm slice in acres
$0.25\,\text{ac} \times 4{,}840 = 1{,}210\,\text{gaj}$ ; metric form is $0.25 \times 4{,}046.8564224 \approx 1{,}011.7\,\text{m}^2$ .

Tips and pitfalls

Confirm whether the deed uses survey yards; the international and survey yard differ by ~2 parts per million—negligible for small plots.
Round to at least two decimal places when converting to hectares to keep appraisal math consistent.
Use square metres when checking setbacks or floor area ratio, since many codes cite metric values.
