About this calculator
If you select a smaller Marla (225 or 250 sq ft), the same acre contains more Kanal, because an acre is always 43,560 sq ft.
Formula
Kanal = Acres × 43,560 ÷ (20 × Marla size)
Revenue standard: Kanal = Acres × 8
An acre is 43,560 sq ft. With a 272.25 sq ft Marla, a Kanal is 5,445 sq ft, and 43,560 ÷ 5,445 = 8 exactly.
Examples

1 Acre = 8 Kanal

12.5 Acres (half murabba)

25 Acres (1 murabba)
