How to convert Marla to Square Yard
To convert marla to square yard, multiply the number of marla by the conversion factor 30.25, because 1 marla = 30.25 yd². The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 yd² = 0.03305785 marla, so you divide by 30.25 (or multiply by 0.03305785) to turn square yard back into marla.
yd² = marla × 30.25 ·
marla = yd² × 0.03305785
- Write down the value you want to convert, in marla.
- Multiply it by 30.25.
- The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in square yard.

Marla vs Square Yard: which is bigger?
A marla is the larger unit: one marla equals 30.25 square yards. Put another way, you need 30.25 square yards to make a single marla.
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 Square Yard? History, origin and usage
Yd-squared denotes the square yard, an imperial and US-customary unit equal to a square one yard on each side, or nine square feet. The underlying yard is an old English length standard later defined exactly in metric terms.
It is used for plots, carpet and fabric, and in South Asia it is exactly the gaj used for residential land. North Indian property is often quoted interchangeably in square yards and gaj.
One square yard equals nine square feet and one gaj, and there are 4,840 square yards in an acre. A 100-square-yard plot is the same as a 100-gaj plot.

Tips for converting Marla to Square Yard
- To go from marla to square yard, multiply by 30.25; to go back, divide by 30.25 (or multiply by 0.03305785).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 marla ≈ 30.25 square yard, so 10 marla ≈ 302.5 square yard.
- 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 Square Yard converter
Type a number into the Marla field and the equivalent in Square Yard 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 Square Yard field to convert the other way (square yard 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 = 30.25 yd²), 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-square yard conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
