Convert Marla to Decimal

Quick answer: Marla to Decimal

1 Marla = 0.625Decimal (marla → decimal). To convert marla to decimal, multiply by 0.625. To convert decimal to marla, multiply by 1.6. The converter at the top does this instantly and both ways; the sections below give the formula, worked examples, a full conversion chart and answers to the most common marla-to-decimal questions.

How to convert Marla to Decimal

To convert marla to decimal, multiply the number of marla by the conversion factor 0.625, because 1 marla = 0.625decimal. The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 decimal = 1.6marla, so you divide by 0.625 (or multiply by 1.6) to turn decimal back into marla.

decimal = marla × 0.625  ·  marla = decimal × 1.6

1. Write down the value you want to convert, in marla.
2. Multiply it by 0.625.
3. The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in decimal.

Marla vs Decimal: which is bigger?

A decimal is the larger unit: one decimal equals 1.6 marlas. Put another way, you need 1.6 marlas to make a single decimal.

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 Decimal? History, origin and usage

The decimal, also called satak or dismil, is a unit equal to one-hundredth of an acre that arose from British-era revenue surveys, which divided the acre into 100 equal parts. In Bengali-speaking areas it is satak, from shotangsho meaning 'hundredth part', the same idea that gives the unit its English name.

It is widely used across eastern India, especially Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha and Jharkhand, as well as in Bangladesh, for residential plots, agricultural land and government land records. Property advertisements and news reports in these regions still quote land in decimals.

One decimal is identical in size to one cent, both being one-hundredth of an acre (about 435.6 square feet). One hundred decimals therefore make exactly one acre.

Tips for converting Marla to Decimal

• To go from marla to decimal, multiply by 0.625; to go back, divide by 0.625 (or multiply by 1.6).
• For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 marla ≈ 0.625 decimal, so 10 marla ≈ 6.25 decimal.
• 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 Decimal converter

Type a number into the Marla field and the equivalent in Decimal 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 Decimal field to convert the other way (decimal 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 = 0.625decimal), 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-decimal 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.

Frequently asked questions

How many decimal are in 1 marla?

1 marla = 0.625 decimal (decimal). To convert any number of marla to decimal, multiply by 0.625.

100 marla = 62.5 decimal. (And 1000 marla = 625 decimal.)

Which is bigger, a marla or a decimal?

A decimal is larger: 1 decimal = 1.6 marla.

Is this marla to decimal converter accurate?

Yes — every value is computed from the exact 0.625 decimal per marla factor (not rounded look-up tables), and the factors are re-verified automatically on every update.

Can I convert decimal to marla too?

Yes. The converter works both ways — enter a value in either field. 1 decimal = 1.6 marla.
