Direct answer
Kanal To Acre
Under the Punjab revenue standard, 8 kanal equal 1 acre, so 1 kanal equals 0.125 acre. The relationship changes if a private scheme uses a different nominal marla size.
Formula
Acres = kanal area in square feet ÷ 43,560
What this conversion means
Kanal and acre are both used for larger land parcels. This calculator keeps the Punjab revenue standard as the default and lets you switch the marla basis where a local scheme uses another convention.
Use kanal-to-acre conversion for agricultural land, development sites and large residential holdings where local records and international or investment documents use different units.
The Punjab Settlement Manual documents 8 kanal in a ghumao/acre under the standard measure. The default calculator setting follows that relationship.
