CM to Gaj (Gaj) Converter
Please enter valid values.
Converting square centimetres to gaj is a routine step when working with land measurements in Pakistan and India, where the gaj — equal to one square yard — is still the standard unit for plots, houses and agricultural land. Because a centimetre measures length while a gaj measures area, the conversion takes two steps: first find the area of your plot in square centimetres by multiplying length by width, then divide by 8,361.2736, the number of square centimetres in one gaj. The free CM to Gaj calculator above performs both steps instantly — simply enter the length and width in centimetres and press Calculate to get an accurate result in gaj.
How to Convert CM to Gaj (Gaj)
Centimeter (cm) is a unit of length, while Gaj is a unit of land area. That’s why you must calculate the total area first.
Step 1: Calculate Area in Square Centimeters
Area (cm²) = Length (cm) × Width (cm)
This converts the given dimensions into total area measured in square centimeters.
Step 2: Convert Square Centimeters to Gaj
Gaj = Area (cm²) ÷ 8,361.2736
Here, 1 Gaj = 8,361.2736 square centimeters. Dividing the total area by this value gives the land area in Gaj.

CM to Gaj Formula
The formula for converting square centimetres to gaj is straightforward:Gaj = square centimetres ÷ 8,361.2736One gaj equals one square yard, which is 91.44 cm × 91.44 cm = 8,361.2736 square centimetres. So to convert any area measured in square centimetres into gaj, simply divide it by 8,361.2736.Worked example: suppose a plot measures 1,000 cm by 500 cm. First find the area: 1,000 × 500 = 500,000 square centimetres. Then apply the formula: 500,000 ÷ 8,361.2736 = 59.80 gaj (rounded to two decimal places). The calculator at the top of this page performs exactly these steps for you.Frequently Asked Questions
How many square centimetres are in 1 gaj?
One gaj contains exactly 8,361.2736 square centimetres. This follows from the definition of the gaj as one square yard: 1 yard = 91.44 cm, so 1 square yard = 91.44 × 91.44 = 8,361.2736 cm².Is this an area conversion?
Yes. The centimetre is a unit of length, but the gaj is a unit of area (one square yard). That is why you must enter both the length and the width of your plot: multiplying the two lengths gives an area in square centimetres, which the calculator then converts to gaj.How do I convert a plot measured in centimetres to gaj?
Measure the length and width of the plot in centimetres, multiply them to get the area in square centimetres, then divide by 8,361.2736. For example, a 2,000 cm × 1,000 cm plot covers 2,000,000 cm², which equals 2,000,000 ÷ 8,361.2736 = 239.20 gaj.Is a gaj the same as a square yard?
Yes — in property and land measurement across Pakistan and India, one gaj means one square yard, equal to 9 square feet. Do not confuse it with the linear gaz (yard), a unit of length equal to 91.44 cm; the gaj used for land is always an area.Can I convert gaj back to square centimetres?
Yes. Multiply the number of gaj by 8,361.2736. For instance, 10 gaj × 8,361.2736 = 83,612.74 square centimetres. The conversion chart above also works in reverse if you divide 1 by any of its gaj figures.Related: Land Measurement Units in Pakistan and Gaj to Inches.
