🏡 Land Area Calculator
Calculate plot area and view conversions across popular land units.
Ideal for surveyors, realtors, and planners collecting dimensions in one unit but reporting in many others.
Area: 1,500 m²
Perimeter: 160 m
How to Use This Calculator
Measure length and width
Capture plot dimensions using a tape, survey, or map scale.
Select the unit
Choose the unit used for both measurements (meters, feet, yards, km, or miles).
Review area outputs
See the area in square meters plus conversions to square feet, acres, hectares, katha, and cent.
Formula
Area (m²) = Length × Width (converted to meters)
Perimeter = 2 Ă— (Length + Width) (converted to meters)
Conversions: apply unit-specific factors (e.g., 1 m² = 10.7639 ft², 1 acre = 4,046.8564 m²)
Use the formula breakdown to confirm the calculation logic or perform the conversion manually if needed.
Full Description
Plot dimensions rarely arrive in the units your stakeholders need. This calculator normalizes length and width to meters, calculates the area, and then provides conversions for popular regional units like square feet, acres, and katha.
Including the perimeter offers a quick boundary estimate, useful for fencing or walkway planning. Adjust the unit selector when measurements are gathered in different systems.
For irregular plots, split the land into rectangles, triangles, or circles, compute each area, and sum the results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if length and width use different units?
Convert one measurement to match the other before entering, or calculate separately and sum the results.
Can I handle triangular plots?
Break the plot into rectangles/triangles, compute each area, and add them together.
Which katha definition is used?
The Bangladesh standard (1 katha = 720 sq ft). Confirm local variations if needed.
Does this account for elevation?
No. The calculator assumes a flat surface. For sloped land, obtain surveyed horizontal distances.
