How to convert Decimal to Guntha
To convert decimal to guntha, multiply the number of decimal by the conversion factor 0.4, because 1 decimal = 0.4 guntha. The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 guntha = 2.5 decimal, so you divide by 0.4 (or multiply by 2.5) to turn guntha back into decimal.
guntha = decimal × 0.4 ·
decimal = guntha × 2.5

What is a Decimal? History, origin and usage
The decimal, also called satak or dismil, is a unit equal to one-hundredth of an acre that arose from British-era revenue surveys, which divided the acre into 100 equal parts. In Bengali-speaking areas it is satak, from shotangsho meaning 'hundredth part', the same idea that gives the unit its English name.
It is widely used across eastern India, especially Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha and Jharkhand, as well as in Bangladesh, for residential plots, agricultural land and government land records. Property advertisements and news reports in these regions still quote land in decimals.
One decimal is identical in size to one cent, both being one-hundredth of an acre (about 435.6 square feet). One hundred decimals therefore make exactly one acre.
What is a Guntha? History, origin and usage
The guntha (also spelt gunta) is a traditional unit of western and southern India defined as one-fortieth of an acre. It is most often visualised as a square of about 33 feet by 33 feet, giving roughly 1,089 square feet.
It is the standard sub-acre unit in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, used for farmland and plots in revenue records and property deals. Holdings are commonly described as a number of acres and gunthas.
Forty guntha make one acre. The unit's near-square shape of about 33 by 33 feet makes it easy to picture as a single small field plot.

Tips for converting Decimal to Guntha
- To go from decimal to guntha, multiply by 0.4; to go back, divide by 0.4 (or multiply by 2.5).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 decimal ≈ 0.4 guntha, so 10 decimal ≈ 4 guntha.
- The converter above keeps full precision; the tables round for readability, so use the tool for exact figures.
- Both fields update live as you type — change either side to convert in that direction.
How to use this Decimal to Guntha converter
Type a number into the Decimal field and the equivalent in Guntha appears instantly — there is no “convert” button to press and nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline once the page has loaded and is safe for any data. You can also type into the Guntha field to convert the other way (guntha to decimal). Use the swap control to flip the two units, and copy the result with a single click. Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.
Accuracy and method
Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 decimal = 0.4 guntha), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for decimal-to-guntha conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
