What to know before you calculate
A marla is a local land unit with two common sizes: 272.25 square feet in the traditional and revenue-record measure, and 225 square feet in many housing societies. A kanal is 20 marla, so it is 5,445 or 4,500 square feet depending on which marla is used. Always check which marla your property documents use.
The size of a marla
In Pakistan, land is measured in marla, kanal and acre. In the traditional and revenue-record measure, 1 marla is 272.25 square feet (30.25 square yards), 20 marla make 1 kanal (5,445 square feet), and 8 kanal make 1 acre (43,560 square feet). One square yard is 9 square feet, and one square metre is about 10.764 square feet.
Why plot sizes sometimes do not match
Many housing societies and builders use a smaller marla of 225 square feet, so that a "5 marla" plot is 1,125 square feet there instead of 1,361. The same word can mean two different areas. The area written on your registered deed, allotment letter or the society's map is the one that counts, so check which marla it uses before you pay.
Using the calculator
Enter the area in any unit and read the others. Use the result to compare listings, to check a seller's quoted size, and to estimate the covered area you can build. A plot's covered area is always smaller than the plot area once you leave setbacks, and the local authority sets the permitted covered percentage.
Before you buy
Check the measurement on site, ask for a recent fard or registry, and confirm the size against the sanctioned plan. A plot that is smaller than quoted can mean paying for land you do not get.
Tips for accurate results
Check which marla your deed, fard or society map uses before you compare plot sizes. When a seller quotes in marla, ask for the area in square feet as well.
