Unkillable Tools / Calculator / Moving cost calculator
Moving quotes hinge on two numbers people already know: how big their home is and how far they're going. That makes an instant estimate unusually easy to get right.
Push the distance past 100 miles and watch the per-mile rate change.
Change the rates, the labels and the maths to match your business, then export it as a single HTML file you paste into your site. Free, no account, and it keeps working whatever happens to us.
Open the builderLocal moves are priced on time and crew; long-distance on weight and mileage. A single flat per-mile rate produces absurd quotes at one end or the other.
The fix is a conditional rate: miles > 100 ? 1.15 : 3.5. Above the threshold the per-mile rate drops sharply, which mirrors how movers actually price and stops a 900-mile move quoting like a fantasy.
Stairs and access are the classic hidden cost, and the reason so many moves run over. Making them an explicit input sets expectations and protects your crew's day.
Packing is best expressed as a percentage of the base rather than a flat fee, because packing a five-bedroom house is not the same job as packing a studio. Storage, by contrast, is genuinely flat and should be modelled that way.
Give a band of roughly ±12%. Moving estimates that arrive as a single confident number generate complaints when the reality lands higher, and a range makes the follow-up survey conversation natural rather than defensive.
State clearly what the range excludes — specialty items like pianos and safes, long carries, shuttle fees. A calculator that names its exclusions is read as competent, not evasive.
Yes — add number fields for large items and weight them in the formula. Keep the total field count low, though; long inventories kill completion rates.
Yes. It's a plain conditional in a derived-value field, so change 100 to whatever your business uses.
With Pro, yes — the enquiry arrives with the home size, distance and options the visitor selected.
