How to use this tool
Assumptions
All conversions use square feet as the common base unit.
Gaj is treated as square yard, so 1 gaj equals 9 square feet.
Cent and decimal are treated as 435.6 square feet, equal to 1/100 acre.
Limitations
Traditional units can vary by state, district, and local revenue practice.
The converter is a comparison aid and should not replace local land-record verification for property transactions.
Formula notes
Area in square feet = input value x selected unit square-foot factor.
Target value = square feet / target unit square-foot factor.
