How it works
All conversions go through square feet: 1 Marla = 272.25 sq ft, 1 Kanal = 20 Marla (5,445 sq ft), 1 Acre = 8 Kanal, 1 square yard = 9 sq ft and 1 square metre = 10.7639 sq ft. Note: in a few areas a smaller Marla of 225 sq ft is used locally — if your documents use that standard, confirm with your local records.
Worked example: Example: 1 Kanal = 20 Marla = 5,445 square feet = 605 square yards = about 505.86 square metres.
