Direct answer
Marla To Square Feet
Using the Punjab revenue standard documented in the Punjab Land Records manual, 1 marla equals 272.25 square feet. Some housing schemes use 250 or 225 sq ft, so choose the correct standard in the calculator.
Formula
Square feet = marla × selected square-feet-per-marla standard
What this conversion means
Marla is not used at one fixed square-foot size in every property market. AR Empires therefore shows the standard being used instead of silently assuming that every marla is identical.
Use this tool before comparing plot prices or listing sizes. A 10-marla plot can represent different square-foot areas if two sellers or schemes use different marla standards.
The Punjab Settlement Manual records a standard 66-inch karam system in which 1 marla equals 25.29285264 m², equivalent to 272.25 ft². Local schemes may market different nominal marla sizes.

How AR Empires checks conversion factors
For standard international units, the calculator uses published measurement references. For regional land units, the page identifies the selected convention and links to government or land-record material where available. A calculator result should not replace the measurement written on a registered property record.

Questions about marla to square feet
How many square feet are in 1 marla?
Under the Punjab revenue standard used by default here, 1 marla is 272.25 sq ft. Some housing schemes use 250 or 225 sq ft per marla, so verify the local standard.
How many square feet are in 5 marla?
At 272.25 sq ft per marla, 5 marla equals 1,361.25 sq ft. At 225 sq ft per marla, it would be 1,125 sq ft.
Why does marla size vary?
Marla is a regional land unit. Revenue systems and private housing schemes can use different nominal square-foot definitions, so property documents and scheme rules should take priority.
How accurate is the AR Empires area converter?
The calculator uses fixed conversion factors for standard units and keeps more precision internally than it displays. Regional units such as marla and bigha need the correct local standard, so check the selected standard before using a result for a property document or transaction.
