Moving utility · volume estimate
Get a rough read on your move size.
Start with the rooms you have, then add boxes and bulky items. This is a planning estimate to help compare capacities and prepare for a mover’s inspection—not a quote.
What are you moving?
Box sizes vary; enter the average if you know it. Otherwise, 3 cu ft is just a rough placeholder.
Estimate from item dimensions (length × width × height ÷ 1,728) or leave 0 until you can measure.
This is a user-adjustable allowance for space that may be hard to pack efficiently. It is not a universal rule.

Room averages used: bedroom 450 cu ft; living room 350; dining room 250; office / extra room 250. These broad starting assumptions cannot account for furnishings, closets, access, packing, or unusual items. Replace them with measured item and box dimensions as your plan gets clearer. Actual usable capacity varies by truck, container, loading method, and provider. Confirm with the provider.
