Moving Cost Estimator
Estimate your moving costs based on distance, home size, and services needed.
Plan your moving budget for local or long-distance moves.
Estimated Moving Cost
Moving costs depend on distance, home size, and services chosen:
Local moves (under 100 miles / 160 km) are priced by the hour:
Cost = Hourly Rate × Number of Movers × Hours + Truck Fee
Long-distance moves are priced by weight and distance:
Cost = (Weight in lbs × Rate per lb per mile × Distance) + Base Fee
Average costs by home size (local move, US):
- Studio/1 bedroom: $300-800
- 2 bedroom: $600-1,500
- 3 bedroom: $800-2,200
- 4+ bedroom: $1,200-3,500
Average costs by home size (long-distance, US):
- 1 bedroom: $1,500-3,000
- 2 bedroom: $2,500-5,000
- 3 bedroom: $3,500-7,500
- 4+ bedroom: $5,000-10,000+
Tips:
- Get quotes from at least 3 moving companies
- Moving mid-week or mid-month is typically cheaper
- Decluttering before the move reduces weight and cost
- Consider insurance for valuable items
