What is Land Measurement Converter?

Converts between the land measurement units commonly used in Bangladesh — Shotangsho (also called decimal or শতক), Katha (কাঠা) and Bigha (বিঘা) — alongside square feet and square metres.

How to use Land Measurement Converter

Enter a land area value and choose its unit. The equivalent value in every other unit (Shotangsho, Katha, Bigha, square feet and square metres) appears immediately.

Formula

1 Bigha = 20 Katha = 33 Shotangsho = 14,400 sq ft. 1 Katha = 1.65 Shotangsho = 720 sq ft. 1 Shotangsho (decimal) = 435.6 sq ft ≈ 40.47 sq m.

Example

A plot of 5 Katha equals 5 × 720 = 3,600 sq ft, or about 334.5 sq m.

Understanding your result

These are the standard conversions used across most of Bangladesh, though very slight regional variations in customary land measurement can exist in some areas — always confirm exact figures on official land documents (khatian/deed) for legal or transaction purposes.
