How to use the Bigha to Acre Calculator (Punjab vs Sindh)

The bigha is the classic trap of Pakistani land measurement: a Punjab bigha is half an acre while a Sindh bigha is five-eighths of an acre, so using the wrong one misstates land by 25%. Forums and Indian tools rarely flag this difference. This bigha to acre calculator keeps the two variants separate — pick Bigha (Punjab) or Bigha (Sindh) explicitly — and converts to acres, hectares and marla, so agricultural land deals are compared on the true area.

  1. Type the bigha figure into the amount box.
  2. Select Bigha (Punjab) or Bigha (Sindh) in the From dropdown — this choice matters.
  3. Read the acre result on the big result line.
  4. Switch the To dropdown to Hectare or Marla for other units.

Formula

Punjab: 1 bigha = 0.5 acre. Sindh: 1 bigha = 0.625 acre. 1 acre = 2.47105 bigha (Punjab) or 1.6 bigha (Sindh); 1 hectare = 2.47105 acres.

Worked example

Ten bigha in Punjab = 5 acres exactly. The same 10 bigha in Sindh = 6.25 acres. On a 5-acre deal at Rs 2 million per acre, mixing the variants up would misprice the land by Rs 2.5 million. Always write the province on the agreement to avoid this expensive confusion.
