1 square foot = 0.1111 gaj, and 1 gaj = 9 square feet. To convert square feet to gaj, divide by 9. A 900 sq ft plot is 100 gaj; a 1,800 sq ft plot is 200 gaj.

Square feet to gaj formula
A gaj, as used for plot sizes, is a square yard. A yard is 3 feet, so a square yard is 3 ft × 3 ft = 9 sq ft.
Gaj = square feet ÷ 9
Example: a 30 ft × 40 ft plot is 1,200 sq ft. 1,200 ÷ 9 = 133.33 gaj.
To go the other way, multiply by 9 — see the gaj to square feet converter.

Gaj, square feet and guntha in Maharashtra
Gaj is the everyday plot unit in North India. In Maharashtra you will rarely hear it:
- Flats and city plots are quoted in square feet or square metres.
- Farmland and plots carved out of it are bought and sold in guntha and acre. 1 guntha = 1,089 sq ft = 121 gaj, and 40 guntha = 1 acre.
- The 7/12 utara records area in hectare, are and square metre (हे.आर.चौ.मी.), not in sq ft or gaj.
If you are comparing a gaj figure with a Maharashtra land record, convert everything to one unit first. The land area converter converts between guntha, acre, hectare, are, sq ft, sq m and gaj at once, and reads the area figure printed on a 7/12.
