About Land Area Calculator
The Land Area Calculator helps property buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and surveyors calculate plot area in multiple units. Calculate area for rectangular, triangular, or circular plots instantly.
Convert between 8 land units: Square Feet (sq ft), Square Yard (sq yd), Acre, Hectare, Ground, Cent, Bigha, and Guntha. Essential for property registration, land purchase, and real estate transactions in India.
How to Use This Land Area Calculator
Step 1: Select your plot shape — Rectangle, Triangle, or Circle.
Step 2: Enter dimensions (length & width for rectangle, base & height for triangle, radius for circle).
Step 3: Select the measurement unit you used (feet, yards, etc.).
Step 4: Click "Calculate Area" to see results in all land units.
Step 5: Use the Reset button to clear all inputs and start a new calculation.
Why Use a Land Area Calculator?
✓ Property Purchase
Verify seller's land area claims before buying. Compare price per square foot across different properties. Avoid overpaying for land.
✓ Registration Documents
Convert traditional units (Bigha, Ground, Cent) to sq ft for legal registration. Ensure documents have accurate measurements.
✓ Construction Planning
Calculate buildable area from total land. Plan house layout, setbacks, and open space requirements.
✓ Land Investment
Compare land prices across different measurement systems. Calculate return on investment accurately.
Land Measurement Units by Region (India)
| Region | Common Units | Conversion to sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| North India (UP, Delhi) | Bigha, Biswa, Kanal, Marla | 1 Bigha = 27,000 sq ft |
| South India (TN, Kerala) | Ground, Cent, Ankanam | 1 Ground = 2,400 sq ft, 1 Cent = 435.6 sq ft |
| West India (Maharashtra) | Guntha, Ankana | 1 Guntha = 1,089 sq ft |
| East India (West Bengal) | Katha, Dhur, Chatak | 1 Katha = 720 sq ft (varies) |

How to Calculate Irregular Plot Area
Step-by-step method for irregular plots:
- Divide the irregular plot into triangles and rectangles
- Measure each section separately (length, width, base, height)
- Calculate area of each section using appropriate formula
- Sum all section areas to get total plot area
- Add 5% buffer for curved boundaries
For legal purposes (registration, sale deed), always get a licensed surveyor to measure irregular plots with GPS equipment.
Land Area Calculation Formulas
Area = L × W
Area = ½ × B × H
Area = π × r²

Frequently Asked Questions
For rectangular plots: area = length × width. For irregular shapes, divide into rectangles/triangles. Use our calculator for common plot shapes.
1 acre = 43,560 square feet. 1 acre = 4,840 square yards. 1 acre = 0.4047 hectares. 1 hectare = 2.471 acres.
1 ground = 2,400 square feet (commonly used in South India). 1 ground = 240 sq yards. 1 ground = 0.055 acres.
Square feet (sq ft), Square yard (sq yd), Acre, Hectare, Ground (South India), Bigha (North India), Guntha (Maharashtra), Cent (South India - 1 cent = 435.6 sq ft).
Divide irregular plot into triangles/rectangles. Calculate each section separately, sum all areas. For curved boundaries, use graph paper method or GPS area measurement apps. For legal purposes, hire a licensed surveyor for exact measurements.
Bigha size varies by state: UP (1 bigha = 27,000 sq ft), Rajasthan (1 bigha = 24,000 sq ft), Punjab (1 bigha = 18,000 sq ft). 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft. Bigha is traditional, acre is standard. Always confirm local bigha size before transaction.
Use Google Maps (measure distance tool). Use pacing method (average step length ~2.5 ft). Use known reference (standard parking space ~180 sq ft). For rough estimates, count tiles (standard tile 2x2 ft = 4 sq ft). For legal purposes, always get professional survey.
Standard unit: Square feet (sq ft) and Square meter (sq m) for registration. Traditional units by region: North (Bigha, Biswa), South (Ground, Cent), West (Guntha), East (Katha, Dhur). RERA mandates sq ft disclosure for real estate.
1 cent = 435.6 sq ft. Formula: Cents = Sq Ft ÷ 435.6. Example: 1,000 sq ft ÷ 435.6 = 2.3 cents. Common sizes: 1,000 sq ft = 2.3 cents, 2,000 sq ft = 4.6 cents, 5,000 sq ft = 11.5 cents.
Property registration requires exact area in sq ft or sq m. Convert traditional units to sq ft before registration. Required documents: Survey map (cadastral map), Title deed, Land measurement certificate from licensed surveyor. Always verify measurements before purchase.
