Marla to Square Feet Converter (Marla, Kanal, Acre)

Land units in Pakistan

Property in Pakistan is measured in marla, kanal and acres, as well as square feet and square yards. The standard government marla is 272.25 square feet, and a kanal is 20 marla, which is 5,445 square feet. Eight kanal make an acre (43,560 square feet).

Check which marla is used

Some housing schemes use a smaller marla of 225 square feet, which makes a kanal 4,500 square feet. Because the two differ by about 17%, always check the size stated in your documents or plan. This converter shows both.

Example

10 marla at 272.25 square feet each is 2,722.5 square feet, which is about 252.9 square metres. A 5 marla plot is 1,361.25 square feet, and a 1 kanal plot is 5,445 square feet.

In Karachi and some other cities, plots are often described in square yards instead. 1 square yard is 9 square feet, so a 120 square yard plot is 1,080 square feet.
