Guntha vs Kanal: which is bigger?
A kanal is the larger unit: one kanal equals 5 gunthas. Put another way, you need 5 gunthas to make a single kanal.
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.
What is a Kanal? History, origin and usage
The kanal is a land unit of the northern subcontinent that, like the marla, was given a fixed value under British administration. It was tied to the acre as exactly one-eighth of it, equal to 20 marla or 605 square yards.
It remains a standard residential and agricultural unit in Pakistan and in northern India, particularly Punjab, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. In Pakistani cities a 'one-kanal house' is a recognised premium plot size.
Eight kanal make one acre, so a kanal is one-eighth of an acre. It nests neatly with the marla above it (20 marla) and the killa or acre below it (8 kanal).

Tips for converting Guntha to Kanal
- To go from guntha to kanal, multiply by 0.2; to go back, divide by 0.2 (or multiply by 5).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 guntha ≈ 0.2 kanal, so 10 guntha ≈ 2 kanal.
- 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 Guntha to Kanal converter
Type a number into the Guntha field and the equivalent in Kanal 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 Kanal field to convert the other way (kanal to guntha). 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 guntha = 0.2 kanal), 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 guntha-to-kanal conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
