How to convert Murabba to Marla
To convert murabba to marla, multiply the number of murabba by the conversion factor 4,000, because 1 murabba = 4,000 marla. The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 marla = 0.00025 murabba, so you divide by 4,000 (or multiply by 0.00025) to turn marla back into murabba.
marla = murabba × 4,000 ·
murabba = marla × 0.00025
- Write down the value you want to convert, in murabba.
- Multiply it by 4,000.
- The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in marla.

Murabba vs Marla: which is bigger?
A murabba is the larger unit: one murabba equals 4,000 marlas. Put another way, you need 4,000 marlas to make a single murabba.
What is a Murabba? History, origin and usage
Murabba is the Hindi and Urdu word for 'square', and as a land unit it dates to the British canal-colony schemes of late-19th and early-20th-century Punjab. Large irrigated tracts were laid out as rectangular 'squares' of 25 acres so they could be cleanly subdivided into 25 one-acre killas for allotment to settlers.
It is still used for large agricultural holdings and in rural revenue documents in Punjab and Haryana, in both India and Pakistan. A murabba represents a substantial farm rather than a residential plot.
One murabba equals 25 killa, which is 25 acres or about 10.1 hectares. Its internal 5-by-5 grid of killas is why it is also simply called a 'square'.
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 written in official land records 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. One thing to check if you are buying in Pakistan: 272.25 square feet is the size used in official land records on both sides of the border, and it is exactly 1/160 of an acre, but many housing societies — including DHA schemes and CDA Islamabad — sell a smaller marla of 225 square feet (25 square yards). The gap is 47.25 square feet per marla, so a 10-marla plot can differ by 472.5 square feet. This converter uses the 272.25 square foot record standard, so check your own plot papers to see which one they mean.

Tips for converting Murabba to Marla
- To go from murabba to marla, multiply by 4,000; to go back, divide by 4,000 (or multiply by 0.00025).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 murabba ≈ 4,000 marla, so 10 murabba ≈ 40,000 marla.
- 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 Murabba to Marla converter
Type a number into the Murabba field and the equivalent in Marla 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 Marla field to convert the other way (marla to murabba). 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 murabba = 4,000 marla), 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 murabba-to-marla conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
