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 acre-to-marla questions.
How to convert Acre to Marla
To convert acre to marla, multiply the number of acre by the conversion factor 160, because 1 ac = 160 marla. The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 marla = 0.00625 ac, so you divide by 160 (or multiply by 0.00625) to turn marla back into acre.
marla = ac × 160 ·
ac = marla × 0.00625
- Write down the value you want to convert, in acre.
- Multiply it by 160.
- The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in marla.

Acre vs Marla: which is bigger?
A acre is the larger unit: one acre equals 160 marlas. Put another way, you need 160 marlas to make a single acre.
What is a Acre? History, origin and usage
Ac is simply the abbreviation for the acre, one of the oldest English land measures, whose name comes through Norman French from a root meaning 'cultivated field'. It was historically the area a team of eight oxen could plough in a day, fixed as one chain by one furlong.
The acre remains a statutory unit in the United States and across the Commonwealth, and is a main unit for Indian agricultural land alongside the bigha and hectare. It is used for farms, estates and large plots worldwide.
One acre is 4,840 square yards or 43,560 square feet, about 0.405 hectare, and roughly nine-tenths the size of an American football field. It equals 8 kanal or 160 marla in the Punjab system.
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.

Tips for converting Acre to Marla
- To go from acre to marla, multiply by 160; to go back, divide by 160 (or multiply by 0.00625).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 acre ≈ 160 marla, so 10 acre ≈ 1,600 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 Acre to Marla converter
Type a number into the Acre 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 acre). 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 ac = 160 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 acre-to-marla conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
