About Hectare and Decimal (Shotok)
What is a hectare (ha)?
A hectare equals 10,000 m² (about 2.471 acres) and is the standard metric unit for farmland and forests.
What is a decimal (shotok) (dec)?
A decimal, called shotok (শতক/শতাংশ) in Bangla, is 1/100 of an acre, or 435.6 square feet. It is the most common unit in Bangladeshi land deeds.
Important for land buyers: traditional units like katha and bigha differ between districts. This converter uses the standard values used in Dhaka and most official calculations: 1 katha = 720 sq ft, 1 bigha = 20 katha = 14,400 sq ft, 1 decimal (shotok) = 435.6 sq ft, 1 acre = 100 decimal. Always confirm the local value written in your deed (দলিল) or with the land office (AC Land).
