How to use this moving truck calculator
Estimate moving volume, recommended truck size, fuel, mileage, rental days, movers, supplies, and trip cost.
Formula
Estimated cargo volume combines a bedroom baseline, box volume, furniture allowance, and packing factor. Trip cost = days × daily rate + miles × mileage rate + fuel + fees + mover hours × crew rate.Worked example
Example: A typical two-bedroom baseline plus 45 boxes and 12 large items may fit a mid-size truck, but bulky furniture and poor stacking can require the next size up.
Accuracy and limitations
Rental fleets publish different capacities and dimensions. Walk through the exact inventory and compare it with the chosen company's vehicle specifications.
