Local-unit convention

How This Area Converter Works
Enter one area and select its source unit to see all supported conversions. Marla and Kanal results are specifically labelled for the Islamabad Capital Territory convention and may not match definitions used elsewhere.
Formula and Calculation
The core formula used by this area converter is: Converted area = input area x source-to-square-feet factor / target-to-square-feet factor.
Global units use standard conversion factors. The regional Marla and Kanal options use only the Islamabad Capital Territory convention in CDA regulations: 1 Marla = 272.25 sq ft and 1 Kanal = 20 Marla = 5,445 sq ft.
Under the ICT convention, 2 Marla equals 544.5 sq ft. A listing outside ICT may use a different Marla definition, so its local record must be checked before relying on that conversion.
