An acre is a fixed 43,560 sq ft, so the number of kanals in an acre depends on the marla standard:
- 272.25 standard: 1 acre = 8 kanal (160 marla). This is the traditional revenue relationship used for agricultural land.
- 250 standard: 1 acre = 8.71 kanal
- 225 standard: 1 acre = 9.68 kanal
A murabba is 25 acres, which is 200 kanal on the revenue standard.
