Estimated Total Cost vs Moving Distance

How Moving Costs Are Estimated

Moving costs depend on labor (crew hours), transportation (distance), and packing materials.

Formula

Total = (Hourly Rate x Hours) + (Distance x $0.75/mi) + Packing Supplies

The $0.75/mile estimate covers fuel and truck wear for a typical moving truck.

Example Calculation

500-mile move, 4 rooms, $150/hr crew for 6 hours, $150 supplies.

  1. 01Labor cost = $150 x 6 = $900
  2. 02Transportation = 500 x $0.75 = $375
  3. 03Packing supplies = $150
  4. 04Total estimated cost = $900 + $375 + $150 = $1,425
