1 Acre in Marla
The revenue system was designed so that acres, Kanal and Marla divide evenly: 1 acre = 8 Kanal = 160 Marla.
Updated
Quick answer: 1 Acre = 160 Marla using the 272.25 sq ft revenue Marla (8 Kanal × 20 Marla).
Formula
43,560 ÷ 272.25 = 160 Marla
8 Kanal × 20 Marla = 160 Marla
Both routes give the same answer under the revenue standard.

Important information
- This calculator uses 1 Marla = 272.25 sq ft by default — the traditional revenue standard. You can switch to 250 or 225 sq ft, which some housing societies and development authorities use.
- 1 Kanal is always 20 Marla, so the size of a Kanal changes with the Marla standard: 5,445 sq ft (272.25), 5,000 sq ft (250) or 4,500 sq ft (225).
- Always confirm which standard appears on the allotment letter, fard or society file before buying or selling.
