Gaj Conversion Formulas
Primary Conversions from Gaj
1. Gaj to Square Feet:
\( \text{Square Feet} = \text{Gaj} \times 9 \)
1 Gaj = 9 Square Feet (exactly). Most common conversion. Example: 100 Gaj × 9 = 900 square feet. One Gaj equals 3 feet × 3 feet = 9 sq ft. Used extensively in North India (Punjab, Haryana, Delhi).
2. Gaj to Square Meter:
\( \text{Square Meter} = \text{Gaj} \times 0.836127 \)
Since 1 Gaj = 9 sq ft and 1 sq ft = 0.092903 m², then 1 Gaj = 9 × 0.092903 = 0.836127 m². Example: 100 Gaj = 83.61 square meters. Useful for international standards.
3. Gaj to Marla:
\( \text{Marla} = \text{Gaj} \times 0.033057 \)
1 Marla = 272.25 sq ft (Punjab, India) = 30.25 Gaj. Therefore, 1 Gaj = 1/30.25 = 0.033057 Marla. Example: 100 Gaj = 3.31 Marla. Note: Marla varies by region (Pakistan uses 225 sq ft = 25 Gaj).
4. Gaj to Acre:
\( \text{Acre} = \text{Gaj} \times 0.00020661 \)
1 Acre = 43,560 sq ft = 4,840 Gaj. Therefore, 1 Gaj = 1/4840 = 0.00020661 Acre. Example: 100 Gaj = 0.0207 Acre. For large land parcels: 2.5 Acre = 12,100 Gaj.
Reverse Conversions to Gaj
5. Square Feet to Gaj:
\( \text{Gaj} = \frac{\text{Square Feet}}{9} = \text{Square Feet} \times 0.111111 \)
Divide sq ft by 9 to get Gaj. Example: 900 sq ft ÷ 9 = 100 Gaj. Or multiply by 0.111111. For 1000 sq ft: 1000 ÷ 9 = 111.11 Gaj. For 1500 sq ft: 166.67 Gaj.
6. Square Meter to Gaj:
\( \text{Gaj} = \text{Square Meter} \times 1.19599 \)
1 m² = 10.764 sq ft = 1.196 Gaj. Example: 30 m² × 1.196 = 35.88 Gaj. Or convert m² → sq ft → Gaj: 30 m² × 10.764 = 322.92 sq ft ÷ 9 = 35.88 Gaj.
7. Hectare to Gaj:
\( \text{Gaj} = \text{Hectare} \times 11,959.9 \)
1 Hectare = 10,000 m² = 11,959.9 Gaj. Or 1 Hectare = 107,639 sq ft ÷ 9 = 11,960 Gaj. Large agricultural lands use this conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is 1 Gaj in Square Feet?
1 Gaj equals exactly 9 square feet. This is the standard conversion used throughout India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The term Gaj (also spelled Gaz or Guz) represents a square yard measurement where 1 Gaj = 3 feet × 3 feet = 9 sq ft. Examples: 100 Gaj = 900 sq ft, 200 Gaj = 1800 sq ft, 1 Gaj = 0.111 Gaj (reverse). When buying property in North India, prices are often quoted per Gaj, so knowing this conversion is essential.
How to convert Gaj to Square Feet?
To convert Gaj to square feet, multiply the number of Gaj by 9. Formula: Square Feet = Gaj × 9. Example calculations: (1) Convert 100 Gaj: 100 × 9 = 900 square feet. (2) Convert 50 Gaj: 50 × 9 = 450 sq ft. (3) Convert 200 Gaj: 200 × 9 = 1,800 sq ft. For reverse conversion from sq ft to Gaj, divide by 9: Gaj = Square Feet ÷ 9. Example: 1000 sq ft ÷ 9 = 111.11 Gaj. This conversion is crucial for real estate transactions in Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi regions.
How much is 1 Marla in Gaj?
1 Marla equals 30.25 Gaj in Punjab, India (where 1 Marla = 272.25 sq ft). In Pakistan, 1 Marla varies: Small Marla = 25 Gaj (225 sq ft), Large Marla = 30.25 Gaj (272.25 sq ft). To convert Marla to Gaj: multiply Marla by 30.25 (India) or 25 (Pakistan small). Examples: 5 Marla = 151.25 Gaj = 1,361 sq ft (Punjab, India). 10 Marla = 302.5 Gaj = 2,722.5 sq ft. For Gaj to Marla: divide Gaj by 30.25. Example: 100 Gaj = 3.31 Marla. This conversion varies by region, so always confirm local standards.
How to convert Square Meter to Gaj?
To convert square meters to Gaj, multiply by 1.19599. Formula: Gaj = Square Meter × 1.19599. Derivation: 1 m² = 10.764 sq ft, and 1 Gaj = 9 sq ft, so 1 m² = 10.764 ÷ 9 = 1.19599 Gaj. Examples: (1) 30 m² × 1.196 = 35.88 Gaj = 323 sq ft. (2) 100 m² = 119.6 Gaj = 1,076 sq ft. (3) 50 m² = 59.8 Gaj = 538 sq ft. For reverse (Gaj to m²): divide Gaj by 1.196 or multiply by 0.836127. Example: 100 Gaj = 83.61 m². This conversion is useful when dealing with international property standards or metric measurements.
How many Gaj in 1000 Square Feet?
1000 square feet equals 111.11 Gaj (rounded to 111 Gaj commonly). Calculation: 1000 sq ft ÷ 9 = 111.111 Gaj. Similarly: (1) 1500 sq ft = 166.67 Gaj, (2) 2000 sq ft = 222.22 Gaj, (3) 500 sq ft = 55.56 Gaj, (4) 900 sq ft = 100 Gaj (exactly). For quick mental math: divide sq ft by 9. A typical 2-bedroom apartment of 1000 sq ft is approximately 111 Gaj. When comparing properties, knowing these common conversions helps evaluate per-Gaj pricing accurately.
How to convert Hectare to Gaj?
To convert hectares to Gaj, multiply by 11,959.9 (approximately 11,960). Formula: Gaj = Hectare × 11,959.9. Derivation: 1 Hectare = 10,000 m² = 107,639 sq ft ÷ 9 = 11,960 Gaj. Examples: (1) 1 Hectare = 11,960 Gaj = 107,639 sq ft, (2) 0.5 Hectare = 5,980 Gaj, (3) 2 Hectares = 23,920 Gaj. For large agricultural land: 5 Hectares = 59,800 Gaj = 538,196 sq ft. Reverse conversion: 1 Gaj = 0.0000836 Hectare. This is useful for converting large farm plots or industrial land parcels between metric and traditional Indian measurements.
What is the difference between Gaj and Square Yard?
Gaj and Square Yard are essentially the same measurement. 1 Gaj = 1 Square Yard = 9 square feet. The term "Gaj" is used in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, while "Square Yard" is the English equivalent used internationally. Historical origin: Gaj comes from Persian/Arabic "gaz" (a unit of length ~3 feet). When measuring area, 1 Gaj represents 1 yard × 1 yard = 1 square yard = 9 sq ft. In real estate: North Indian states (Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, UP) use Gaj; international markets use sq yard. Both are identical: 100 Gaj = 100 sq yards = 900 sq ft = 83.61 m².
How much is 1 Acre in Gaj?
1 Acre equals 4,840 Gaj (exactly). Calculation: 1 Acre = 43,560 sq ft ÷ 9 = 4,840 Gaj. Examples: (1) 1 Acre = 4,840 Gaj = 43,560 sq ft, (2) 0.5 Acre = 2,420 Gaj = 21,780 sq ft, (3) 2 Acres = 9,680 Gaj = 87,120 sq ft, (4) 2.5 Acres = 12,100 Gaj = 108,900 sq ft. For reverse: 1 Gaj = 0.000206612 Acre. Agricultural land and large plots use Acre measurements. Quick reference: 1 Acre ≈ 4,840 Gaj ≈ 4,047 m² ≈ 0.4047 Hectare. When buying farmland, knowing Acre-to-Gaj conversion helps compare traditional and modern measurements.
