Convert acres to bigha. Because a bigha's size differs by state, pick your state for an accurate result — the calculator also shows square feet and hectares.
A bigha is NOT standardised — bigha per acre varies by state. Values here are the widely-cited state figures; confirm the local definition and official records before any transaction.
An acre is a fixed 43,560 square feet, but a bigha varies by state, so the number of bigha in an acre changes with your region — from about 1.6 (Rajasthan, Haryana) to 6.4 (Uttarakhand). Pick your state below for an accurate acre-to-bigha conversion, with square feet and hectares too.
Because bigha is a traditional, non-standardised unit, each state fixed its own bigha size — so the smaller the state's bigha, the more bigha fit into one acre. Himachal Pradesh (5 bigha/acre) and Uttarakhand (6.4) sit at one end; Rajasthan and Haryana (1.6) at the other. Always confirm the local definition before a land deal.
