Kanal, Marla & Square Feet Converter
Plots in Punjab are sold in marla and kanal, but a marla is not the same size everywhere: government records use 272.25 square feet per marla, while many private housing societies use 225. This converter switches between both standards so you can compare like with like.
Area converter — kanal, marla, square feet
Enter any value and convert between the units used in Punjab property. Choose the measurement standard first — government (revenue) records use 272.25 sq ft per marla, while many private housing societies sell “marla” plots at 225 sq ft. The two are not the same size; always confirm which standard a quoted plot uses.
Basis: 1 kanal = 20 marla; 1 acre = 8 kanal (43,560 sq ft on the official standard); 1 sq yard = 9 sq ft; 1 sq metre = 10.7639 sq ft. On the private-society standard, an acre-equivalent is 38,720 sq ft at 225 sq ft/marla — shown for comparison only; revenue records always use the official standard.
Which standard applies to your plot?
If a plot is quoted in marla, ask which standard the seller is using before comparing prices — the difference is over 20%. Browse the CBD Punjab project directory for official project details, and run through the due-diligence checklist before paying anything.
