The kanal to square feet formula
The conversion is fixed:
Square Feet = Kanal × 5,445
Kanal is defined as 1/8 of an acre. Since 1 acre = 43,560 square feet, one kanal = 43,560 ÷ 8 = 5,445 square feet. Each kanal is further divided into 20 marla (1 marla = 272.25 sq ft). So a "2 kanal kothi plot" is 10,890 sq ft, and 8 kanal make exactly one acre.

Note that "marla" itself has a smaller 225 sq ft variant in a few municipal areas — but the kanal is always 5,445 sq ft.
