How to convert land area
- Pick the marla size used where the land is. Your allotment letter or registry usually says.
- Type the area and choose the units.
- The same area appears below in every unit: square feet, gaz, metres, marla, kanal and acres.
Why marla has more than one size
The old revenue marla is 272.25 sq ft, from a square of 16.5 feet. Lahore, DHA, Bahria Town and most new housing societies use 225 sq ft. Karachi and many municipal records use 250 sq ft. A kanal is always 20 marla, so it ranges from 4,500 to 5,445 sq ft.
Other values
- 1 gaz (square yard) = 9 sq ft.
- 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft = 8 kanal on the revenue scale.
- 1 square metre = 10.764 sq ft.
