Hectares → Bigha — metric to local land unit
Core idea
Convert hectares to bigha using the standard factor 1 ha = 3.986 bigha (standard bigha).
How it works
Formula: Bigha = Hectares × 3.986.
- Enter hectares
- Multiply by 3.986
- We round only for display; internal math keeps precision
Sanity checks
- 0.5 ha → 1.993 bigha
- 1 ha → 3.986 bigha
- 2 ha → 7.972 bigha
Shortcuts
- ≈4 bigha ≈ 1 hectare (quick estimate)
- Back‑convert: Hectares = Bigha ÷ 3.986
Pitfalls
- Bigha size varies by region; this tool uses the standard bigha
- Don’t round early when doing multi‑step land calcs
Micro‑examples
- 5 ha → 19.93 bigha
- 10 ha → 39.86 bigha
- 25 ha → 99.65 bigha
Mini‑FAQ
