Marla / Kanal Converter

Convert marla, kanal, murabba, acre, sq ft & sq yard.

About this calculator

Land in Pakistan is measured in a mix of traditional and modern units, and sellers, dealers and registries switch between them freely. This converter translates between marla, kanal, murabba, acre, square feet and square yards instantly, so a listing that says '5 marla' and a document that says '1,361 square feet' can be checked against each other in seconds.

It uses the standard Pakistani conversions — one marla equals 272.25 square feet and one kanal equals 20 marla — the figures used in DHA, Bahria Town and most housing schemes. Whether you are verifying a plot size before buying, calculating price per marla, or converting an old murabba-based record, the tool removes the guesswork from Pakistan's property measurements.
