What is an Area Conversion Calculator?

When you purchase a piece of land or a housing property, you’re required to pay according to the measurement of its area. The area of a property can be measured in various units, including square feet, square meters, yards, hectares, and acres, among others.

Sometimes, the area of a property can be listed in a different unit, but you may need to convert it to a different unit for the calculation of the property cost, stamp duty, and registration charges.

An area conversion calculator, or simply an area converter, is a simple tool that helps in instantly converting one unit of the area into another. For example, with an area converter, you can quickly convert square meters to square feet, square feet to square yards, square inches to square meters, and so on.

Common area converter units used in India

Let’s look at some common area conversion units that are supported by online area converter calculators:

Square Feet

When the area of land is calculated based on the measurement of both sides of the land in feet, the unit is said to be in square feet or sq. ft. This unit is a part of the US customary unit and is also used in several other countries, including India, UK, Canada, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Hong Kong, Nepal, Singapore, Ghana, and Malaysia.

Square Meter

When the measurement of both sides of land is taken in meters, the area is said to be in square meters or sq. m. It is the SI unit of the area, and it can be converted into all types of area units using an area conversion calculator.

Square Yards

Square Yard or sq. yd. is said to be the area unit of land when the measurements of its sides are taken in yards. One yard is equal to three feet. In India, this unit is also known as “Guz”. Apart from India, this unit is also used in US, UK, and Canada.

Hectare

One hectare is equal to the area of a square whose sides measure 100 meters. It means that one hectare of land is equivalent to 10,000 square meters of land. This unit is generally used for large areas of land, such as forests, agricultural plots, etc.

One acre of land is equivalent to 4,840 square yards or 0.405 hectares of land area. This unit is primarily used in the UK, USA, and India. In India, it is mainly used for measuring agricultural lands and construction plots.

Yes. You can use Tata Capital’s area conversion calculator to convert area measurements of both land and buildings from one unit to another. However, you need to know the exact area and choose the correct units to get an accurate result.

The basic conversion formula for area units is A = a * S * S

Here, “A” is the area measurement in the new unit, “a” is the area measurement in the old unit, and “S” is the measurement of the value in the new unit against one unit of the old unit.

For example, if you want to convert 30 square feet into square meters, then 1 foot is equal to 0.3048 meters. So, the conversion would be as follows:

A = 30 * 0.3048 * 0.3048, i.e., 2.79 square meters.

Using an area conversion calculator is far better than doing manual calculations or estimations for property area conversions. First of all, manual calculations can prove to be a tedious task, and you need to know all formulas and conversion metrics. Secondly, manual calculations are always prone to errors. Any human error while calculating can give you an inaccurate or misleading result. And thirdly, it is a time taking process. While manual calculations can take hours, an area conversion calculator shows instant results.

You can manually calculate the area of an irregular-shaped plot using specific formulas. But if you prefer a quicker route, several online calculators are designed to give you instant results.

In West India, particularly in states like Rajasthan, Gujarat, and parts of Maharashtra, traditional land measurement units such as Bigha, Biswa, and Biswansi are commonly used.

In states like Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh of central India, traditional land measurement units such as Bigha and Kattha are predominantly used when dealing with land parcels.

In South India, land measurement units generally vary across states, but commonly used units include Ankanam, Cent, Ground, Guntha, Kuncham, etc.

There are plenty of online tools that can help you calculate the area of a piece of land directly from Google Maps. You just need to zoom in on the map and trace the boundary of the land by drawing a line around its edges. Once you complete the outline, the tool will automatically display the calculated area on your screen.
