Formula Used
Shipping Cost Formula
The estimated shipping cost is calculated using the following formula:
Estimated Cost = (Number of Rooms × Room Rate) + (Move Distance × Distance Rate) + Packing Cost
Where:
- Room Rate varies by move type (local, regional, long-distance)
- Distance Rate is based on the selected move distance
- Packing Cost is added if you select "Yes" for packing materials
Assumptions
This calculator uses the following assumptions:
- Standard room sizes (200-300 sq ft)
- Average packing materials cost of $50 per room
- Industry average rates for local, regional, and long-distance moves
Worked Examples
Example 1: Local Move
For a local move of 3 rooms with packing materials:
Estimated Cost = (3 × $200) + (50 miles × $0.50) + $50 = $600 + $25 + $50 = $675
Example 2: Long-Distance Move
For a long-distance move of 5 rooms without packing materials:
Estimated Cost = (5 × $400) + (1,000 miles × $1.50) + $0 = $2,000 + $1,500 = $3,500
| Move Type | Number of Rooms | Packing Materials | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local | 2 | Yes | $525 |
| Regional | 4 | No | $1,200 |
| Long-Distance | 3 | Yes | $2,150 |
