Marla, Kanal and Square Feet Calculator
Convert land area between marla, kanal, square feet, square yards, square metres and acres. Choose the marla size used in your area, because it is not the same everywhere.
| Unit | Area |
|---|---|
| Marla | |
| Kanal | |
| Square feet | |
| Square yards | |
| Square metres | |
| Acres |
The marla size differs by area and by housing scheme. Always confirm the size in your property documents and with the seller or the local revenue office before you buy or sell.
How it works
The calculator first converts your area into square feet using your chosen marla size, then converts square feet into every other unit. A kanal is always 20 marla, so if you change the marla size, the kanal changes with it. An acre is fixed at 43,560 square feet.
