Marla size (sq ft in one marla) 225 sq ft (25 sq yd)Used in many housing-society plans. 1 kanal = 4,500 sq ft. 250 sq ftSome plans and listings use this size. 1 kanal = 5,000 sq ft. 272.25 sq ft (30.25 sq yd)The traditional revenue-record (patwari) marla. 1 kanal = 5,445 sq ft; 8 kanal = 1 acre.

Why it matters: a “5 marla” plot is 1,125, 1,250 or 1,361.25 sq ft depending on the marla size, so two “5 marla” plots can differ by more than 200 sq ft. Check the size written on your allotment letter, society plan or registry. Apne allotment letter ya naqshay par likha size zaroor check karein.

This converter needs JavaScript. The fixed relations are: 1 sq yd = 9 sq ft; 1 sq ft = 0.09290304 m²; 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft; 1 kanal = 20 marla; 1 marla = 225, 250 or 272.25 sq ft depending on the convention.

One name, three sizes

Marla and kanal are not fixed units. The acre, square foot, square yard and square metre are. That is why this converter asks for the marla size instead of assuming one.

The same names under each marla size (exact)
Marla size	5 marla	10 marla	1 kanal (20 marla)	Kanal in 1 acre
225 sq ft	1,125 sq ft	2,250 sq ft	4,500 sq ft	9.68
250 sq ft	1,250 sq ft	2,500 sq ft	5,000 sq ft	8.712
272.25 sq ft	1,361.25 sq ft	2,722.5 sq ft	5,445 sq ft	8

An acre is always 43,560 sq ft (4,840 sq yd, about 4,046.86 m²); only the number of kanal in it changes. A plot's dimensions (for example 25 × 45 ft) are the surest guide: multiply them for square feet and convert from there.

Common questions

Is 1 kanal always 20 marla?

In this converter, yes: 1 kanal is 20 marla of the marla size you choose. If a document states a kanal directly in square feet, use that figure and convert from square feet.

What is a gaz?

In plot sizes “gaz” means a square yard: 9 square feet. A 120 gaz plot is 1,080 sq ft.

Why are there no feet, yards or metres?

Those measure length, not area. Multiply length by width (both in feet) to get square feet, then convert.

How exact are the results?

The relations are exact: 1 sq yd = 9 sq ft, 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft and 1 sq ft = 0.09290304 m². Results are rounded only for display (2–6 decimal places); Copy uses the figures you see, and Download CSV keeps full precision.

Can I rely on this for a sale or registry?

It is a calculator, not a survey. The legal area is what the registry, allotment letter or society plan states. Ask the society or a surveyor when a document's unit is unclear.
