How many square feet are in 1 Marla?

On the modern Pakistani standard used officially across Punjab, Sindh, KPK and Azad Kashmir: 1 Marla = 225 square feet = 25 square yards = 20.9 square meters. There is also an older Lahore Marla equal to 272.25 sqft (33 sqyd) that some legacy properties and rural deeds still use, so always confirm which basis a seller is quoting on before you sign.

How many Marla are in 1 Kanal?

1 Kanal always equals 20 Marla, no matter which Marla standard is used. On the modern Pakistani standard, 1 Kanal = 4,500 sqft = 500 sqyd = 418 sqm. On the older Lahore standard, 1 Kanal = 5,445 sqft. Most modern housing societies (DHA, Bahria, Park View, etc.) advertise plots on the modern standard.

How many Marla are in 1 Acre?

1 Acre = 8 Kanal = 160 Marla = 36,000 square feet = 4,000 square yards = 4,047 square meters. Acres are commonly used for agricultural land, large estates and commercial plots, while Marla and Kanal dominate residential plot pricing in Pakistan.

Which Marla standard does this tool use by default?

By default the tool uses the modern Pakistani standard: 1 Marla = 225 sqft. This is the standard used by FBR records, modern housing societies (DHA, Bahria), official surveyors and most property listing portals (Zameen, Graana). If your specific plot uses the older 272.25 sqft Lahore Marla, you can toggle the standard.

Why do some listings show different sqft for the same Marla?

There are historically two Marla standards in use: the modern 225 sqft Marla (most common today) and the older Lahore Marla of 272.25 sqft (still seen in older properties, walled-city plots and some rural deeds). Always ask the agent or check the deed which standard is used. The difference is roughly 21%, which is significant on a plot purchase.

Is this tool useful for India as well?

Yes. Marla and Kanal are also used in Indian Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, with the same modern standard (1 Marla = 225 sqft, 1 Kanal = 20 Marla). The Bigha is more common in some Indian states for agricultural land but is not covered by this tool, since its size varies massively between states.

Can I use this for plot price comparison?

Absolutely. Convert the plot size to sqft, then divide the asking price by sqft to get a true per-square-foot price. This lets you compare a 5-Marla plot in DHA Lahore against a 10-Marla plot in DHA Islamabad on a like-for-like basis, even though the absolute prices look very different.

How many square feet in 5 Marla?

5 Marla equals 1,125 square feet on the modern Pakistani standard (5 x 225 sqft). That is also 125 square yards or approximately 104.5 square meters. On the older Lahore Marla (272.25 sqft), 5 Marla equals 1,361 sqft, roughly 21 percent larger. DHA Lahore, DHA Karachi, Bahria Town Sector J and LDA Avenue-1 all sell 5 Marla plots on the modern 1,125 sqft standard.

How many square feet in 10 Marla?

10 Marla equals 2,250 square feet on the modern Pakistani standard (10 x 225 sqft). That is also 250 square yards or 209 square meters, and is exactly half a Kanal. DHA 10 Marla, Bahria Sector C, Park View City 10 Marla, Wapda Town all use the 2,250 sqft standard for their 10 Marla category.

How many square feet in 1 Kanal?

1 Kanal equals 4,500 square feet on the modern Pakistani standard (20 Marla x 225 sqft). That is 500 square yards or 418 square meters, and equals one eighth of an Acre. Every 1 Kanal plot in DHA, Bahria Town Sector F, CDA F-sectors of Islamabad and Park View is 4,500 sqft. On the older Lahore Marla standard, 1 Kanal equals 5,445 sqft, still 20 Marla but each Marla is larger.

How many square meters in 1 Kanal?

1 Kanal on the modern Pakistani standard equals 418 square meters (500 sqyd x 0.836). This is the standard used across DHA, Bahria, LDA, CDA and modern housing societies. On the older Lahore Marla, 1 Kanal equals about 506 square meters. If you are quoting to an international buyer or comparing against an overseas property, use 418 sqm as the default.

160 Marla is how many Kanal?

160 Marla equals 8 Kanal, which is exactly 1 Acre. Formula: 160 divided by 20 = 8 Kanal. 8 Kanal on the modern standard is 36,000 sqft (or 4,000 sqyd or 3,342 sqm). This size is typical for large commercial plots, farmhouses in Bedian and Bara Kahu, and small industrial plots.

What are common Pakistani plot sizes and their sqft?

Common Pakistani plot sizes on the modern 225 sqft Marla standard: 3 Marla = 675 sqft (Ashiana, LDA affordable), 5 Marla = 1,125 sqft (DHA 5M, Bahria Sector J, standard first-home plot), 7 Marla = 1,575 sqft (CDA Islamabad sectors G-13 G-14), 8 Marla = 1,800 sqft (Wapda Town, Johar Town legacy), 10 Marla = 2,250 sqft (DHA 10M, Park View), 1 Kanal or 20 Marla = 4,500 sqft (DHA 1K, Bahria Sector F), 2 Kanal = 9,000 sqft (F-6 F-7 Islamabad legacy), 4 Kanal = 18,000 sqft (farm houses).

How many Marla in 1000 square feet?

1,000 square feet equals approximately 4.44 Marla on the modern Pakistani standard (1000 divided by 225). Practically that is between a 4 Marla and 5 Marla plot. If a listing quotes exactly 1,000 sqft it is often a 4.44 Marla covered area on a slightly larger plot, or a semi-standard commercial unit. Always ask the seller whether the 1,000 sqft refers to plot area or covered area.

Regional Marla Standards Across Pakistan

Not all Marla measurements are equal. Modern housing societies use the 225 sqft standard, but legacy plots and rural areas may use the older Lahore Marla of 272.25 sqft, a 21 percent difference on the same nominal size.

Modern Pakistani (225 sqft): FBR records, DHA, Bahria Town, Park View, LDA, CDA, most Zameen and Graana listings. Use this standard for anything listed in 2000 onwards.
Older Lahore Marla (272.25 sqft): walled-city Lahore plots, some rural Punjab deeds, older inheritance transfers. Roughly 21 percent larger. Always verify which basis a seller quotes on before signing.
Karachi (Sindh): Marla is far less common. Karachi typically quotes in square yards directly. 240 sqyd is a standard bungalow size, 500 sqyd is a large plot, 1000 sqyd is a mansion. Use the sqyd conversion in the calculator above.
Kanal (all regions): always exactly 20 Marla, whichever Marla standard is used. 1 Acre always equals 8 Kanal or 160 Marla or 43,560 sqft.

Pick the from unit: select what you currently have (Marla, Kanal, Sqft, Sqyd, Sqm or Acre) from the left dropdown.
Pick the to unit: select what you want to convert into from the right dropdown. The tool supports any-to-any conversion across all 6 units.
Enter the value: type the number you want to convert. Results appear instantly with high decimal precision.
Choose the Marla standard: by default we use the modern Pakistani standard (1 Marla = 225 sqft). Switch to the older Lahore standard (272.25 sqft) if your listing uses that basis.
Compare and verify: use the result to compare price-per-Marla against actual sqft cost, especially when buying or comparing across DHA, Bahria, society and rural plots.
