Marla vs Are: which is bigger?
A are is the larger unit: one are equals 3.953686 marlas. Put another way, you need 3.953686 marlas to make a single are.
What is a Marla? History, origin and usage
The marla is a traditional unit of the Indian subcontinent that the British Raj standardised to one square rod (a rod, or pole, being 5.5 yards). That fixed it at 272.25 square feet, or 30.25 square yards, the value still used in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Marla is most prominent in Pakistani Punjab and in the Indian states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, where residential plots are sold in marlas and kanals. In India its use is gradually declining in favour of the square yard, square metre, acre and hectare.
Twenty marla make one kanal and 160 marla make one acre. In the Punjab survey system nine sarsahi (square karam) make exactly one marla.
What is a Are? History, origin and usage
The are is the original metric unit of land area, established by the French Revolutionary metric law of 1795 as 100 square metres. Its name comes from the Latin area, and it gave rise to the much more widely used hectare (100 ares).
Today the are itself is rarely used in everyday measurement, having been largely displaced by the square metre and the hectare. It survives mainly in a few European cadastral contexts and as the building block from which the hectare is defined.
One are is a square of 10 metres by 10 metres, and 100 ares make one hectare. It is one of the few metric units whose name survives chiefly inside a larger derived unit.

Tips for converting Marla to Are
- To go from marla to are, multiply by 0.2529285; to go back, divide by 0.2529285 (or multiply by 3.953686).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 marla ≈ 0.2529285 are, so 10 marla ≈ 2.529285 are.
- The converter above keeps full precision; the tables round for readability, so use the tool for exact figures.
- Both fields update live as you type — change either side to convert in that direction.
How to use this Marla to Are converter
Type a number into the Marla field and the equivalent in Are appears instantly — there is no “convert” button to press and nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline once the page has loaded and is safe for any data. You can also type into the Are field to convert the other way (are to marla). Use the swap control to flip the two units, and copy the result with a single click. Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.
Accuracy and method
Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 marla = 0.2529285are), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for marla-to-are conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
Indian land units can vary by state and local custom. This converter uses the most widely accepted standard value; always confirm against your local revenue records (patwari / tehsil) for legal transactions.
