SponsoredThis converter turns acres into square yards (acre to sq yd). Enter a value and the result updates as you type. 1 acre equals exactly 4,840 square yards.
An acre is 4,840 square yards, so acres multiply by 4,840. Land in India and Pakistan is often bought in square yards, also called gaj, and turf, landscaping and paving are sold by area, so this conversion turns an acreage into the unit those figures use.
The result is rounded to 2 decimal places, but the factor behind it never is, so long chains of conversions stay accurate. You can type decimals, thousands separators or fractions such as 2 1/2, and the conversion table below lists common values.
