Calculate area from length and width and convert square feet to square metres, square yards, acres, Marla and Kanal for property, flooring and material estimates.
A square-footage calculator computes the area of a rectangular space from length and width in feet and instantly converts the result to other common area units: square yards, square meters, acres, and Marla. This is essential for real-estate agents preparing listings, homeowners comparing plot sizes, contractors estimating materials, and buyers evaluating property listings that quote area in unfamiliar units. Converting between imperial and Pakistani units is especially useful in a market where the same plot may be described in square feet, Marla, and square meters in different listings.
Formula
Area (sq ft) = Length × Width. 1 sq yard = 9 sq ft. 1 Marla = 272 sq ft. 1 Acre = 43,560 sq ft.The whole Pakistani property market runs on one piece of mental math: how many square feet is this plot, and what is that in Marla? A dealer says '10 Marla' and you nod, but unless you have converted that to 2,720 sq ft (in the standard 272 sq ft system), the price-per-Marla figure he quotes is meaningless against a competing 1 Kanal plot down the road. This calculator does the conversion both ways and then some — square feet from length times width, plus instant readings in square yards, square meters, Marla, Kanal, and acres. Where it gets useful is in the comparison phase: a 5 Marla plot in DHA Lahore at PKR 3 crore is PKR 22,058 per sq ft; a 1 Kanal plot in Bahria Town at PKR 7 crore is PKR 12,868 per sq ft. Same family budget, very different value per square foot — but you only see it once you normalise to the same unit. Honest take: before you visit a property, before you pay token money, run the listing's quoted price through here in both PKR/sq ft and PKR/Marla. Most dealers quote whichever unit makes the price look better. Knowing the other one is your defence.

For any rectangular space, area equals length multiplied by width, both in the same unit. Square yards relate to square feet by a factor of 9 because 1 yard equals 3 feet and 3² = 9. One Marla — the traditional Pakistani area unit — is 272 square feet in current common usage. One acre equals 43,560 square feet, or exactly 4,840 square yards, and in Pakistani terms, one acre is roughly 8 Kanal or 160 Marla.

A standard bedroom (12 × 12 ft = 144 sq ft) is about the size of a typical Pakistani bedroom in a 5 Marla house.
A 1-car garage (10 × 20 ft = 200 sq ft) represents ~0.7 Marla.
A standard volleyball court is 2,700 sq ft — just under 1 Kanal (2,720 sq ft).
A 1 Kanal (5,440 sq ft) luxury home equals ~0.125 acres — common upper-middle-class urban plot.
A 20 × 30 ft room equals 600 sq ft, approximately 55.74 m² or 2.21 Marla — useful for estimating flooring and paint quantities.
A 1 Kanal plot (60 × 90 ft) equals 5,400 sq ft, approximately 0.124 acres — the standard upper-middle-class plot size in Pakistan.
A 10 Marla house is typically built on 2,720 sq ft of land (10 × 272) — a common residential size.
One full acre equals 43,560 sq ft, or exactly 8 Kanal, or 160 Marla — the standard agricultural unit in most of Pakistan.
A 5 Marla plot is 1,360 sq ft — the minimum standard plot size in many Pakistani housing societies.
A 2 Kanal luxury plot equals 10,880 sq ft, or about 1,011 m², or 0.25 acre — roughly a quarter-acre by American standards.
