Plot Depth Calculator
Calculate the depth of a plot from its area and frontage.
About the Plot Depth Calculator
Numbers should not slow you down. The Plot Depth Calculator does the arithmetic for you and shows the result live, so you can focus on the decision rather than the maths.
In Pakistan, land is measured in marlas, kanals and acres — units that confuse buyers and sellers every day. This Plot Depth Calculator converts between these traditional units and the metric units used in official records, so you can compare prices and sizes with confidence.
The relationships are fixed: 1 kanaal equals 20 marlas, 1 acre equals 8 kanals or 160 marlas, and 1 marla equals 272.25 square feet. This calculator handles all the conversions automatically — including the 30.25 sq ft 'marla' variant used for commercial plots in some cities.
Getting the unit right matters because plot prices are quoted per marla or per kanaal, and a misread unit can change a price by a factor of twenty. Whether you are buying a 5-marla house plot or a 10-kanal farm, convert first and compare on the same basis.
Official records (fard, mutation, transfer deeds) use square feet or square yards in some provinces and kanals/marlas in others. This tool bridges both worlds, making it useful for buyers, sellers, agents and the lawyers who draft transfer documents.
Use the Plot Depth Calculator as often as you like — it is free, needs no account, and pairs well with the other calculators in this category for a fuller picture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is plot depth calculated?
Depth = area ÷ frontage. A 2,722.5 sq ft plot with 60 ft frontage is 45 ft deep.
How many marlas are in a kanaal?
One kanaal equals 20 marlas. An acre equals 8 kanals or 160 marlas, and one marla is 272.25 square feet.
What is the difference between a marla and a commercial marla?
A standard marla is 272.25 sq ft (30.25 sq yd). Some commercial areas use a 250 sq ft marla. Always confirm which unit a price quote uses.
