Malaysia Land Size Units
Land in Malaysia is commonly described in four units. Here are the exact conversions:
| Unit | Equals |
|---|---|
| 1 acre | 43,560 sqft = 4,046.86 sqm = 0.4047 hectare |
| 1 hectare | 10,000 sqm = 107,639 sqft = 2.471 acres |

| 1 square foot (sqft) | 0.0929 sqm |
Chinese Land Units (亩 / Mu)
For Chinese-speaking buyers and investors (including solar farm land deals), land is often described in 亩 (mǔ), the traditional Chinese acre:
| Unit | Equals |
|---|---|
| 1 亩 (mu) | 666.67 sqm = 1/15 hectare = 0.1647 acre = 7,175.9 sqft |
| 1 分 (fen) | 1/10 亩 = 66.67 sqm |
| 1 公顷 (gongqing) | 1 hectare = 10,000 sqm = 15 亩 |
| 1 顷 (qing) | 100 亩 = 6.667 hectares |
The calculator above includes 亩 — select it as the area unit or price basis to work in Chinese units.
Why Industrial Land is Priced Per Square Foot or Per Acre
In Johor and across Malaysia, industrial land is most often quoted as RM per square foot (psf) for smaller plots and RM per acre for larger tracts. A 2-acre plot at RM 2,500,000 is the same as RM 28.70 psf — the calculator above does this math for you so you can compare listings on a like-for-like basis.
How to Use This Calculator
