How Moving Costs Are Estimated

Moving costs depend on distance, home size, number of movers, packing services, and time of year. Local moves are typically charged by the hour, while long-distance moves are based on distance and weight.

Labor represents 40-60% of moving costs. Professional movers charge 5-0 per mover per hour locally. Truck rental varies by size and distance, from 0/day for a cargo van to 00+ for a large truck on a long haul.

Peak season May through September sees 20-30% higher prices due to demand. Packing services add cost but save time and reduce damage risk. This calculator provides estimates based on industry averages as a starting point for budgeting.
