How to convert Kanal to Gaj
To convert kanal to gaj, multiply the number of kanal by the conversion factor 605, because 1 kanal = 605gaj. The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 gaj = 0.001652893kanal, so you divide by 605 (or multiply by 0.001652893) to turn gaj back into kanal.
gaj = kanal × 605 ·
kanal = gaj × 0.001652893
- Write down the value you want to convert, in kanal.
- Multiply it by 605.
- The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in gaj.

Kanal vs Gaj: which is bigger?
A kanal is the larger unit: one kanal equals 605 gajs. Put another way, you need 605 gajs to make a single kanal.
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).
What is a Gaj? History, origin and usage
As a land unit the gaj is simply a square gaj, the gaj (or gaz) being the South Asian yard. The word descends from the Classical Persian gaz, a yard-like length carried into Hindustani during the Mughal era, when Emperor Akbar standardised an Ilahi gaz of about 33 inches around 1584. It is unrelated to the identical-sounding Hindi word gaj meaning elephant.
Gaj is the everyday unit for plots, houses and carpet area across North India, especially Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan, where listings routinely quote a plot as so many gaj. It is functionally the square yard, so it sits between the square foot and larger units like the bigha or acre.
One gaj equals one square yard, which is nine square feet, so a 100-gaj plot is 900 square feet. The same word for the linear yard also gives Indian roads their old milestone measurements.

Tips for converting Kanal to Gaj
- To go from kanal to gaj, multiply by 605; to go back, divide by 605 (or multiply by 0.001652893).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 kanal ≈ 605 gaj, so 10 kanal ≈ 6,050 gaj.
- 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 Kanal to Gaj converter
Type a number into the Kanal field and the equivalent in Gaj 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 Gaj field to convert the other way (gaj to kanal). 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 kanal = 605gaj), 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 kanal-to-gaj conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
Indian land units can vary by state and local custom. This converter uses the most widely accepted standard value; always confirm against your local revenue records (patwari / tehsil) for legal transactions.
