How to use this moving volume calculator

Start by selecting a property size preset to pre-fill typical box counts, then work through each room tab and adjust the furniture and box quantities to match your home.

The sticky header keeps track of your total estimated volume in m³ and the total number of items. Most removal companies will ask for both when preparing a detailed quote.

Use the + Room button if your property has extra rooms not covered by the presets – each click adds an additional set of boxes for an extra room.

Important information

This calculator is for estimation and planning only. Actual vehicle size and crew requirements are determined by your chosen removal company after they review a full inventory and access at both properties.

Always share your list with your movers and follow their advice on the volume required to safely move your belongings in a single trip.
