Packing calculator FAQ
How many boxes do I need to move?expand_more
A 1-bedroom home typically needs about 25–35 boxes, a 2-bedroom 45–60, a 3-bedroom 70–90, and a 4+ bedroom home 100+. Use the calculator above for a breakdown by box size — it is an estimate, and how much you own matters more than square footage, which is why you can set your content level to minimal, normal, or full.
What size moving boxes should I use?expand_more
Use small boxes for heavy, dense items like books and canned goods; medium boxes for kitchenware and toys; large boxes for light, bulky items like linens and pillows; wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes; and dish-pack (dish barrel) boxes for fragile kitchen items.
