Marla / Kanal to Sqft Converter
Convert between Marla, Kanal, Square Feet, Square Yards, Square Meters and Acres for Pakistani and Indian land measurement.
Marla and Kanal are the most widely used land measurement units across Pakistan and parts of India, especially in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Azad Kashmir. Buying a 5 Marla house in Lahore, a 1 Kanal plot in DHA Islamabad, or a 10 Marla commercial in Bahria Town all involve numbers that locals know by heart but new buyers, expats sending money home and overseas investors find confusing. The Toolsfluent Marla Kanal Converter solves that with a single, clean tool that converts instantly between Marla, Kanal, Square Feet (sqft), Square Yards (sqyd), Square Meters (sqm) and Acres. The standards used here are the official modern Pakistani values: 1 Marla = 225 sqft = 25 sqyd = 20.9 sqm, 1 Kanal = 20 Marla = 4,500 sqft = 500 sqyd = 418 sqm, and 1 Acre = 8 Kanal = 160 Marla = 36,000 sqft. The tool also supports the older Lahore Marla (272.25 sqft, sometimes still used in older properties and rural areas) so you can spot listings that quote on the older basis. Built for property buyers, real estate agents, surveyors, expat investors and anyone evaluating a plot price per Marla against its true square-foot area.
Used by FBR, DHA, Bahria, Park View, Graana, Zameen and most modern housing societies. Default for new construction.
