Your plot drawn from the sides. The dashed line is the diagonal.
- 1 kanal is 20 marla. 1 acre is 43,560 sq ft, 1 square yard (gaz) is 9 sq ft and 1 square metre is 10.764 sq ft and 1 hectare is 10,000 square metres.
- Village units follow the Punjab land records: 1 marla is 9 sarsai, 1 sarsai is 30.25 sq ft, 1 killa is 1 acre, 43,560 sq ft, and 1 murabba is 25 killa. We count 1 bigha as 21,780 sq ft, half an acre, which is 4 kanal of 272.25 sq ft and the Punjab figure. Bigha changes from province to province, so check yours. Source: Measurement of land in Punjab.
- Four sides with a diagonal splits the plot into two triangles and adds their areas, so it works for plots with unequal sides. Use the diagonal that runs inside the plot.
- Measure along the boundary wall or pegs, not along the slope, and measure each side twice.

How many square feet are in 1 marla?
It depends on which marla your papers use. Land records in most of Pakistan count 1 marla as 272.25 sq ft, which is 30.25 square yards. Many private housing societies count 225 sq ft, which is 25 square yards. Check your allotment letter, file or fard, and pick the same size on this page.
How do I calculate land area in marla?
Measure the sides in feet. For a rectangle, multiply length by width to get square feet, then divide by the marla size, 272.25 or 225. For a plot with uneven sides, enter all four sides and a diagonal and the calculator does the sums.
How many marla are in 1 kanal?
1 kanal is 20 marla. With the 272.25 sq ft marla that is 5,445 sq ft. With the 225 sq ft marla it is 4,500 sq ft. To turn kanal into marla, multiply by 20. To turn marla into kanal, divide by 20.
How do I find the area of a plot with 4 sides that are not equal?
Measure all four sides in order, then measure one diagonal that runs inside the plot. The diagonal cuts the plot into two triangles. The calculator finds each triangle with Heron’s formula and adds them. Without a diagonal it takes the corners as square, which is only close for a plot that is nearly a rectangle.
Which marla size should I use?
Use the one written on your papers. We could not find one rule for every city or scheme, and sources disagree for some authorities, so we do not name them. If your papers do not say, ask the society office or the patwari. A 250 sq ft marla is sometimes quoted, but we found no authority that uses it, so it is not offered.
How many square yards or gaz are in a marla?
A 272.25 sq ft marla is 30.25 square yards. A 225 sq ft marla is 25 square yards. In Pakistan a gaz is usually the same as a square yard, 9 sq ft, and that is how this page counts it.
How big is a sarsai, bigha, killa and murabba?
Using the Punjab land-record sizes, 1 sarsai is 30.25 sq ft, and 9 sarsai make 1 marla of 272.25 sq ft. 1 killa is 1 acre, 43,560 sq ft, which is 8 kanal of 272.25 sq ft. 1 murabba is 25 killa. This page counts 1 bigha as 21,780 sq ft, which is 4 kanal of 272.25 sq ft, so 2 bigha make an acre, but a bigha changes from province to province, so check your fard before you quote it.
Can I measure my land area on a map?
Yes. Choose Tracing on a map, search for the place and tap each corner of the plot. The map is OpenStreetMap, a street map with no satellite view, so you cannot see plot lines on it and the area is approximate. Use it for a rough idea, not for a sale or registry.
