Plot Size Calculator From Dimensions

Instant · no signup needed

If you only have the raw length and width of a plot — from a site plan, a naksha, or a quick site measurement — rather than its Marla or Kanal size, this calculator converts your dimensions directly into total area, Marla, and Kanal.

For anyone who only has raw plot measurements (from a site plan or a naksha) rather than the Marla/Kanal size. Uses the marla standard selected above (225 sq ft in DHA, Bahria Town and most Lahore societies; 272.25 sq ft in older areas).

Worked Lahore Example: Calculating Dimensions for a 35 × 65 ft Plot.

Field survey calculation.

A standard 10 Marla plot in LDA Avenue-1, Johar Town, or Lake City measures 35 feet along the street frontage and 65 feet in depth. Verifying the tape measurement of these boundaries establishes the exact buildable footprint before architectural drafting begins.

Engine Output (35 ft Frontage × 65 ft Depth).

  • Total Ground Area: 2,275 sq ft.
  • Plot Size in Marla (225 sq ft standard): 10.11 Marla.
  • Plot Size in Kanal: 0.506 Kanal.

What the exact area changes.

The plot is sold as 10 Marla, but the tape measurement gives 2,275 sq ft, 25 sq ft more than the nominal 2,250. Setbacks, covered-area limits and the number of floors come from the bylaws of the society or authority that approves the map (LDA, DHA and private societies each publish their own), so check the current rules for your plot before design starts. Working from the measured area, not the nominal one, keeps the drawings and the approval file consistent.

Frequently asked questions

This calculator assumes a rectangular plot (length × width). For an irregular plot, measure the largest rectangular area separately or consult a surveyor for an accurate boundary calculation.

You can enter your measurements in feet, yards, or meters — select the matching unit and the calculator converts everything to square feet automatically before working out Marla and Kanal.
