  • Marla standard: 272.25 sq ft. Acre, hectare and murabba (25 acres) use fixed international sizes (1 acre = 43,560 sq ft).

Formula

1 murabba = 25 acres

1 acre = 8 Kanal = 160 Marla = 43,560 sq ft

1 hectare = 2.471 acres

All units are converted through square feet using the 272.25 sq ft revenue Marla.

Examples

  • 1 murabba

    1 Murabba = 1,089,000 sq ft = 4,000 Marla

  • 12 acres

    12 Acres = 522,720 sq ft = 1,920 Marla

  • 1 hectare

    1 Hectare = 107,639.1 sq ft = 395.37 Marla

Important information

  • Local terms vary: in some areas 'bigha' is used, and its size differs by region, so it is not included here.
