How land area conversion works
Every unit here is first turned into square feet, then into the unit you asked for. Acre (43,560 sq ft), square yard (9 sq ft), square metre (10.7639 sq ft), hectare (10,000 sq m) and murabba (25 acres) are fixed. The marla and kanal are the tricky ones, because their size depends on where you are.
Which marla size should I pick?
- 272.25 sq ft is the traditional revenue-record marla in Punjab (30.25 sq yd, 1 sq rod). It is the default here.
- 225 sq ft is common in private housing schemes, where a 5 marla plot is 1,125 sq ft.
- 250 sq ft is used by some societies and local builders.
A kanal is always 20 marla, so it changes with the marla size too. The difference is big: a 10 marla plot is 2,722.5 sq ft in one system and 2,250 sq ft in another, so confirm the size in your documents.
Quick examples
- 5 marla at 272.25 sq ft = 1,361.25 sq ft = about 151.25 sq yd.
- 1 kanal = 20 marla = 5,445 sq ft = about 506 sq m.
- 1 acre = 8 kanal = 160 marla (Punjab marla).
