Area Converter

What does the Area Converter do?

Property sizes in Pakistan are usually quoted in marla and kanal, but their size is not uniform. Traditional revenue records use a marla of 272.25 sq ft (so 1 kanal = 20 marla = 5,445 sq ft), while many housing societies and development authorities use 225 sq ft per marla (1 kanal = 4,500 sq ft), and some use 250 sq ft.

The converter includes both main definitions as separate units, so you can match whichever your document or society uses. International units use exact definitions: 1 acre = 4,046.856 m², 1 hectare = 10,000 m².

Examples

5 marla house

5 traditional marla = 1,361.25 sq ft ≈ 126.5 m²; 5 marla at 225 sq ft = 1,125 sq ft.

1 kanal

1 kanal (20 × 272.25) = 5,445 sq ft ≈ 505.86 m².
