?What is the Area Converter (PK)?
This area converter is built for Pakistan real estate, which uses a mix of traditional South Asian units (Marla, Kanal) alongside international units (square feet, square meters, acres). Property agents in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa quote prices in Marla and Kanal; international investors and architects work in square feet and meters; farmland is usually discussed in acres. Converting between them accurately is essential for buyers, sellers, agents, and developers who are comparing listings, preparing legal documents, or planning construction.
The Formula
The standard Marla commonly used in Pakistani real estate is 272 square feet, which equals approximately 25.27 square meters. Twenty Marlas make one Kanal (5,440 sq ft ≈ 505.5 m²), and eight Kanals make one acre (strictly 43,560 sq ft — slight rounding relative to 160 × 272). Some housing societies in Pakistan use a 'big Marla' of 250 sq ft instead of 272 sq ft — always confirm the definition being used before signing a contract. This converter uses the standard 272 sq ft Marla.

Put It in Perspective
1 Marla (272 sq ft / 25 m²) is about the size of a single-car garage or a small studio apartment — enough for a compact shop front.
5 Marla (1,360 sq ft / 126 m²) is the classic Pakistani starter-home plot — fits a 2-bedroom single-story house with a small yard.
10 Marla (2,720 sq ft / 253 m²) roughly matches a standard basketball court (half) — a comfortable mid-range family home plot.
1 Kanal (5,440 sq ft / 505 m²) is about the size of a doubles tennis court with room to spare — a large urban upper-middle-class plot.
1 Acre (8 Kanal / 43,560 sq ft) is roughly the size of a standard football field (minus the end zones) — the minimum unit for agricultural land in Pakistan.
A 2-Kanal luxury plot (10,880 sq ft / 1,011 m²) covers roughly the same ground as an Olympic swimming pool plus its lanes.
Practical Examples
A 5 Marla plot equals 1,360 sq ft — the most common starter-home plot in Pakistani housing societies.
A 1 Kanal plot equals 5,440 sq ft or about 505 m² — the standard for upper-middle-class urban homes.
2 Kanal ≈ 0.25 acre, so a 2 Kanal luxury house sits on roughly a quarter-acre plot in American terms.
A 10 Marla plot is 2,720 sq ft or about 253 m² — popular for mid-range family homes.
A 1-acre farm is 8 Kanal or 160 Marla — agricultural land is almost always quoted in acres in Pakistan.
A 3 Marla shop front gives about 816 sq ft of retail space — a common commercial size in city markets.
