The formula

Every unit converts through square feet: multiply your value by the unit's sq-ft size, then divide by the target unit's size. Standards used: 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft, 1 guntha = 1,089 sq ft, 1 marla = 272.25 sq ft, 1 kanal = 5,445 sq ft (20 marla), 1 sq yd = 9 sq ft, 1 hectare = 107,639 sq ft, 1 sq m = 10.764 sq ft. For bigha we use the UP standard of 27,225 sq ft — see the note below, because bigha changes from state to state.

A warning about bigha

Bigha is not one fixed size in India — a UP bigha (27,225 sq ft) differs from a Rajasthan or West Bengal bigha. Always confirm which bigha your local patwari or dealer means before signing anything. Guntha (1,089 sq ft, = 121 sq yd) is standard in Maharashtra and Karnataka, while acre and hectare are the same everywhere. Marla (272.25 sq ft) and kanal (20 marla = 5,445 sq ft) are the standard units in Punjab, on both sides of the border.
