Unit / Marla Converter

Convert land area between marla, kanal, acre, square feet, square yards, square metres and hectares. Choose the marla standard that matches your land — Punjab revenue (272.25 sq ft per marla, default) or housing-society (225 sq ft per marla, DHA / Bahria / LDA). Free, instant and private — nothing you enter is stored.

Revenue land records use 272.25 sq ft per marla; DHA, Bahria Town and LDA schemes use 225 sq ft. Pick the one your plot follows — marla and kanal change together (20 marla = 1 kanal under both).

Enter 0 or more. Fractions are allowed — for example, 0.5 marla.

Enter an area to see your conversion.

You’ll see the converted value and the same area in every listed unit.

How it works

  1. Enter the area and choose the unit it is measured in.
  2. The area is converted to square feet — the common unit all conversions go through.
  3. Square feet are divided by the size of the unit you want, giving your converted area — shown in every listed unit below.

The conversion goes through square feet: value × square feet per From unit ÷ square feet per To unit. 1 Marla = 272.25 Square feet · 1 Kanal = 5,445 Square feet (20 Marla) · 1 Acre = 43,560 Square feet.
