How it is calculated
Labor = movers × hours × hourly rate. Transport = truck hire + distance × price per km. Materials = boxes × price per box. Total = labor + transport + materials + other costs.
Example
Inputs: Number of movers = 3, Hours = 5, Hourly rate per mover = 50, Truck hire = 300, Distance = 20 km. Result: Total cost: 1,290.00; Labor: 750.00; Truck and distance: 340.00.

- Insurance, lift fees and permits are not included unless you add them under other costs.
Questions about this tool
How do I estimate the hours?
Ask the mover for their estimate for your home size, then add an hour if stairs are narrow or the lift is small.
Which currency should I use?
Any. The calculator assumes no currency, so enter every price in the same one and the result follows it.
What if the quote is a flat price?
Put the flat price in truck hire and leave labor and distance at zero.
