Every area unit at once, with the factors that matter

Type a value in any area unit to see it in 37 units at once, with a conversion chart and batch mode. Set the marla size your housing society uses, and measure plots with the shape calculator, including irregular four-sided plots and L-shaped areas.

Rather than picking one from/to pair, enter a value once and read it in square feet, square meters, square yards, acres, hectares and more simultaneously. The conversions that trip people up are the land ones: 1 acre = 43,560 square feet = 4,046.86 square meters, and 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters = 2.471 acres. Type an area and those relationships resolve instantly, so 'how many square feet in an acre' and 'acres to hectares' are answered the moment you enter a number.

Detailed guide

South Asian land units built in

Property in Pakistan and India is quoted in Marla, Kanal, Gaz and Bigha, units most converters ignore. Here they sit alongside the metric and imperial ones: 1 Kanal = 20 Marla, and in the standard definition 1 Marla = 272.25 square feet (about 25.29 square meters). Enter a plot in Marla or Kanal and see it in square feet or square meters at the same time, which is exactly what you need when comparing a local listing against an international one.

Frequently asked questions

Is a marla 225 or 272.25 square feet?

Revenue records use 272.25 sq ft (30.25 sq yards), while DHA, Bahria and many housing societies sell plots on a 225 sq ft marla. Choose the right one in the marla setting.

How do I calculate the area of an irregular plot?

Measure all four sides and one diagonal. The calculator splits the plot into two triangles and uses Heron's formula, which is exact.

How big is a bigha?

It depends on the state: about 14,400 sq ft in West Bengal and Bangladesh, 9,070 sq ft in Punjab/Haryana, 27,000 sq ft in Uttar Pradesh and 17,424 sq ft in Gujarat.

How many square feet are in an acre?

One acre equals exactly 43,560 square feet. It's also equal to 4,047 square meters or 0.4047 hectares. Acres are commonly used for land measurement in the US, UK, and Canada.

How many square meters are in a square foot?

One square foot equals 0.0929 square meters. Or conversely, 1 square meter equals 10.764 square feet. This is a common conversion needed for international real estate listings.

What is a Marla in square feet?

One Marla equals 272.25 square feet (or 25.29 square meters). This traditional South Asian unit is still widely used in Pakistan and India for residential plot measurements.

How many Marla in one Kanal?

One Kanal equals 20 Marla, which is 5,445 square feet or approximately 505.9 square meters. These units are standard for property measurement in Pakistan, India, and surrounding regions.

How do I convert square feet to acres?

Divide the square footage by 43,560. For example, 87,120 square feet = 87,120 ÷ 43,560 = 2 acres. The calculator does this automatically for any area value you enter.

How many square feet are in a Bigha?

A Bigha is a traditional land unit used in South Asia. Its size varies by region: 1 Bigha = 27,000 sq ft (Bihar/UP/MP), 14,400 sq ft (Rajasthan), 43,560 sq ft (Bengal/Assam). The converter handles the most common regional definitions.

How do I convert square metres to square feet?

Multiply square metres by 10.7639. So 100 m2 = 1,076.4 sq ft. The converter handles m2, ft2, acres, hectares, square yards and more.

Can I convert regional land units like marla, kanal or bigha?

Yes. Alongside metric and imperial units, the converter supports South Asian land units such as marla, kanal, bigha and cent, so you can convert local land measurements to acres or square feet.

How many square feet are in a Marla?

It varies by region, but a common standard is 272.25 square feet per Marla; the converter uses standard definitions so you get consistent results.
