About the Plot Frontage Calculator
The Plot Frontage Calculator gives you a clear, instant answer to a question that usually means digging through tables or guessing — enter your numbers and read the result straight away.
In Pakistan, land is measured in marlas, kanals and acres — units that confuse buyers and sellers every day. This Plot Frontage Calculator converts between these traditional units and the metric units used in official records, so you can compare prices and sizes with confidence.
The relationships are fixed: 1 kanaal equals 20 marlas, 1 acre equals 8 kanals or 160 marlas, and 1 marla equals 272.25 square feet. This calculator handles all the conversions automatically — including the 30.25 sq ft 'marla' variant used for commercial plots in some cities.
Getting the unit right matters because plot prices are quoted per marla or per kanaal, and a misread unit can change a price by a factor of twenty. Whether you are buying a 5-marla house plot or a 10-kanal farm, convert first and compare on the same basis.
Official records (fard, mutation, transfer deeds) use square feet or square yards in some provinces and kanals/marlas in others. This tool bridges both worlds, making it useful for buyers, sellers, agents and the lawyers who draft transfer documents.
For the most accurate outcome from the Plot Frontage Calculator, keep the editable rates and defaults up to date with current figures before reading the result.
