Which marla is your plot?
The converter above uses the 225 sq ft marla, which most modern housing societies quote in their plot sizes. Older plots, village land and land revenue records often use the larger 272.25 sq ft marla instead, which comes from 9 square karams of 5.5 ft each. Both sizes are in the From list: pick Marla, revenue (272.25 sq ft) if your documents use it.
The difference is not small. On a 10 marla plot it is 472.5 sq ft, more than a large room. If a listing doesn't say which marla it means, ask before comparing prices per square foot.

| 2 kanal (40 marla) | 9,000 sq ft | 10,890 sq ft |
On the revenue system, 8 kanal (160 marla) is exactly 43,560 sq ft, which is one acre.
Checking a plot from its dimensions
Multiply the plot's width by its depth in feet, then divide by the marla size. A 25 ft × 45 ft plot is 1,125 sq ft, and 1,125 ÷ 225 = 5 marla. The same plot measured against the revenue marla is 1,125 ÷ 272.25 ≈ 4.13 marla. The square feet to marla page does this division for you.
