Moving Cost Calculator — Formula
## 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.

Exemplo Resolvido
500-mile move, 4 rooms, $150/hr crew for 6 hours, $150 supplies.
- Labor cost = $150 x 6 = $900
- Transportation = 500 x $0.75 = $375
- Packing supplies = $150
- Total estimated cost = $900 + $375 + $150 = $1,425
