How it's calculated

Total ropani = ropani + aana/16 + paisa/64 + daam/256. Square feet = total ropani × 5,476. Square metres = sq.ft × 0.092903.

About this calculator

Hill and Kathmandu-valley deeds still speak Ropani–Aana–Paisa–Daam. This calculator converts a mix of those units into total ropani, square feet, square metres and hectares. The encoded identity is 1 Ropani = 16 Aana = 64 Paisa = 256 Daam = 5,476 sq.ft (hill system).

Terai bigha–kattha–dhur is a different language — use the dhur converter for that, not this form. Never add “3 aana” from a lalpurja to a metric municipal GIS poly without converting. Inheritance talks go wrong when one sibling recites aana and another recites square metres.

Aana on the form is capped at the conventional 0–15 remainder after ropani. Survey sketches, road setbacks, and kitta irregularity mean a rectangle formula is not a title. Licensed surveyors and malpot offices certify area; this page supports understanding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hill / Kathmandu-valley chain: 1 Ropani = 16 Aana = 64 Paisa = 256 Daam = 5,476 sq.ft. Square metres = sq.ft × 0.092903. Aana is capped 0–15 and paisa/daam 0–3 on the form as conventional remainders.
That is the common hill convention encoded here. A surveyor or malpot factor on the deed can differ — follow the registered sketch for a sale.
No. Mixing Terai units into this form is a frequent dispute source. Use the dhur converter for Terai (1 dhur ≈ 182.25 sq.ft in that tool).
No. It converts units. Title, kitta maps, road setbacks and malpot records govern ownership. Irregular plots are not a rectangle.
Under 5,476 sq.ft per ropani, 1 aana = 5,476/16 = 342.25 sq.ft ≈ 31.80 m². Use the dedicated aana converter for a single-unit flip.
Remainder aana sits 0–15; 16 aana is 1 ropani. Put whole ropani in the ropani field.
Square metres ÷ 10,000 after the sq.ft → m² step. Fine for comparison, not a cadastral certificate.
Convert, then compare with municipal GIS. Do not add “3 aana” from a lalpurja to a metric polygon without this (or a surveyor) conversion.
Yes on many hill deeds. 4 paisa = 1 aana; 4 daam = 1 paisa in this identity.
The tool uses 1 sq.ft → 0.092903 m² (international foot). For legal area, the surveyor’s stated unit wins.
