What Is a Stamp Duty Calculator?
A stamp duty calculator is an online tool that estimates the stamp duty and registration charges you pay when you register a property. It multiplies the property value by your state's stamp duty and registration percentages and adds any cess or surcharge.
A land registry cost calculator by decimal does the same for plots measured in decimal, katha or bigha. It converts the area into square feet first, so the circle rate and the final cost are based on the correct size.

How Land Registry Cost Is Calculated by Decimal
The land registry cost has three parts: stamp duty, registration fee and, in some states, a cess or surcharge. All of them are normally charged on the same property value.
Area in decimal × 435.6
Circle rate × area (in the same unit)
The higher of the deal value and the circle rate value
Stamp duty + registration fee + cess
Worked example uses sample rates only, not an official rate.
Sample Land Registry Cost
This is why a low deal value does not reduce your registry cost when the circle rate is higher.
Land Registry Cost & Land Unit Conversion
Use the sample worked example to understand how land registry charges are calculated, then check common decimal and land-unit conversions.
Sample Land Registry Cost
Worked example (sample rates only, not an official rate):
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Land area | 5 decimal (2,178 sq ft) |
| Circle rate | Rs. 2,00,000 per decimal, so Rs. 10,00,000 |
| Deal value | Rs. 9,00,000 |
| Value used for duty | Rs. 10,00,000 (the higher one) |
| Stamp duty at a sample 5% | Rs. 50,000 |
| Registration fee at a sample 2% | Rs. 20,000 |
| Total charges | Rs. 70,000 (7% of value) |
This is why a low deal value does not reduce your registry cost when the circle rate is higher.
Decimal to Sq Ft & Other Land Units
Use this table for fixed units. Always confirm the local size of bigha and katha, because they change from state to state and sometimes from district to district.
| Unit | Equivalent in Sq Ft |
|---|---|
| 1 decimal | 435.6 sq ft (about 40.47 sq m) |
| 5 decimal | 2,178 sq ft |
| 100 decimal = 1 acre | 43,560 sq ft |
| 1 guntha | 1,089 sq ft |
| 1 sq yard | 9 sq ft |
| 1 hectare | about 1,07,639 sq ft |
| 1 katha, 1 dhur, 1 bigha, 1 biswa | Varies by state and district |
Always check your record for local unit sizes. Public converters may list different katha and bigha sizes even inside one state.

How much is stamp duty plus registration charge on land?
It depends on your state, urban or rural location, buyer category and land type. The total is usually a percentage of property value. Select your state in the stamp duty calculator to see the current rate, and confirm it with your sub-registrar office.
