In Indian and Pakistani property dealing, a “gaj” of land means one square yard (9 ft²). This converter confirms the equivalence and shows the area in square feet and square metres.
How to use the Gaj to Square Yard Converter
- Type the number of gaj into the Gaj field. Decimals such as 50 are fine.
- Read the answer in Square yards. It updates as you type, with no button to press. The same amount is also shown in ft², m², marla.
- To go from square yards back to gaj, type into the Square yards field instead. Every field also has a unit menu with all 16 area units, for example m², km², cm², mm², ha, a, acre, ft², in², mi², cent, marla.
Results update as you type, and everything is calculated in your browser.
How it works
Both units measure area, so they are always in the same ratio: one square gaj (gaj) equals 1 square yards. The calculator multiplies the number of gaj you type by 1 to give square yards, and when you type into the square yards field it divides by the same factor to give gaj. Because the ratio never changes, doubling the gaj always doubles the square yards, for example 200 gaj² is 200 yd².
How to convert gaj to square yards
- Write down the value in gaj, for example 100 gaj².
- Multiply by the conversion factor 1 (because 1 square gaj (gaj) = 1 yd²).
- 100 × 1 = 100 yd².
- To go back from square yards to gaj, divide by 1, or multiply by 1.

| 120 gaj² | 120 yd² | 5 yd² | 5 gaj² |
| 150 gaj² | 150 yd² | 10 yd² | 10 gaj² |
| 200 gaj² | 200 yd² | 20 yd² | 20 gaj² |
| 250 gaj² | 250 yd² | 50 yd² | 50 gaj² |
| 500 gaj² | 500 yd² | 100 yd² | 100 gaj² |
| 1,000 yd² | 1,000 gaj² |
Area units explained
- Square gaj (gaj²)
- In Indian and Pakistani property dealing, a gaj of land means one square yard (9 ft², about 0.836 m²).
- Square yard (yd²)
- A square yard is 9 square feet, about 0.836 m². Carpet, turf and fabric are sold by the square yard in the U.S. and UK, and plots by the square yard (gaj) in India and Pakistan.
Formula
1 gaj² = 1 yd²
1 yd² = 1 gaj²
yd² = gaj² × 1
Worked example
Inputs: Gaj: 100 gaj².
Results: Square yards = 100 yd²; Square feet = 900 ft²; Square metres = 83.612736 m²; Marla = 3.30578512 marla.
Frequently asked questions
Is 1 gaj equal to 1 square yard?
Yes, for land area.
How many square feet in 100 gaj?
900 ft².
How many square yards are in one square gaj (gaj)?
1 gaj² = 1 yd².
How many gaj are in one square yard?
1 yd² = 1 gaj².
How do I convert gaj to square yards?
Multiply the number of gaj by 1. For example, 100 gaj² × 1 = 100 yd².
How do I convert square yards back to gaj?
