Calculating land area is straightforward: measure the Length and Width of your plot, then multiply them together. For example, a plot measuring 50 feet × 30 feet equals 1,500 square feet. For irregularly shaped plots, divide them into rectangles, calculate each area separately, then add them together.
| Unit | Equivalent |
|---|---|
| 1 Marla (Standard) | 225 Sq. Ft. |
| 1 Marla (Government) | 272.25 Sq. Ft. |
| 1 Kanal | 20 Marla (4,500 Sq. Ft.) |
| 1 Acre | 43,560 Sq. Ft. |
| 1 Hectare | 10,000 Sq. Meters (2.471 Acres) |
| 1 Sq. Meter | 10.764 Sq. Ft. |

Marla is a traditional unit of land measurement widely used in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh for buying and selling property. Understanding how Marla works is essential for anyone involved in real estate transactions in South Asia.
There are two standards of Marla commonly used in Pakistan. The size of a Marla depends on the region and whether you are dealing with private housing societies or government revenue records.
| Standard | 1 Marla = | Used In |
|---|---|---|
| Punjab / Housing Societies | 225 sq ft | DHA, Bahria Town, LDA, Private Societies |
| Government / Revenue | 272.25 sq ft | Patwari Records, Revenue Department, KPK |
Step 1: Measure the length and width of your plot in feet.
Step 2: Multiply length × width to get total square feet.
Step 3: Divide by 225 (for housing societies) or 272.25 (for government records) to get Marla.
Example: A plot of 50 ft × 90 ft = 4,500 sq ft ÷ 225 = 20 Marla (1 Kanal)
| Marla | Kanal | Square Feet | Acre |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Marla | 0.05 Kanal | 225 sq ft | 0.00625 Acre |
| 5 Marla | 0.25 Kanal | 1,125 sq ft | 0.03125 Acre |
| 10 Marla | 0.5 Kanal | 2,250 sq ft | 0.0625 Acre |
| 20 Marla | 1 Kanal | 4,500 sq ft | 0.125 Acre |
| 40 Marla | 2 Kanal | 9,000 sq ft | 0.25 Acre |
| 80 Marla | 4 Kanal | 18,000 sq ft | 0.5 Acre |
| 160 Marla | 8 Kanal | 36,000 sq ft | 1 Acre |
1 Marla equals 225 square feet in Punjab housing societies (DHA, Bahria Town) and 272.25 square feet in government revenue records.
1 Kanal equals 20 Marla. So 1 Kanal = 4,500 sq ft (225 standard) or 5,445 sq ft (272.25 standard).
1 Acre equals 8 Kanal, which is 160 Marla or 36,000 square feet (using the 225 sq ft standard).
The 225 sq ft Marla (15 ft × 15 ft) is used by private housing societies in Punjab. The 272.25 sq ft Marla (16.5 ft × 16.5 ft) is the official government/revenue standard used in land records and KPK.
The world uses two major measurement systems: Metric (used by most countries) and Imperial (used primarily in the USA, UK, and a few other nations). Understanding the difference is essential for international real estate, travel, and commerce.
| Feature | Metric System | Imperial System |
|---|---|---|
| Area | Square Meters (m²), Hectares (ha) | Square Feet (sq ft), Acres |
| Length | Meters (m), Kilometers (km) | Feet (ft), Miles (mi) |
| Weight | Kilograms (kg), Grams (g) | Pounds (lbs), Ounces (oz) |
| Used By | Most of the world (EU, Asia, Africa, South America) | USA, UK (partial), Myanmar, Liberia |
| Base | Base-10 (decimal) | Non-uniform (12 inches = 1 foot) |
| Unit | Equivalent | Sq Ft (225) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Marla | 1 Marla | 225 |
| 5 Marla | ¼ Kanal | 1,125 |
| 10 Marla | ½ Kanal | 2,250 |
| 20 Marla | 1 Kanal | 4,500 |
| 1 Kanal | 20 Marla | 4,500 |
| 2 Kanal | 40 Marla | 9,000 |
| 4 Kanal | ½ Acre | 18,000 |
| 8 Kanal | 1 Acre | 36,000 |
| 1 Acre | 8 Kanal / 160 Marla | 36,000 |
