How to use the moving box estimator.

Add the requested inputs

Use the labelled fields in the workspace above. If example values are provided, try them first or replace them with your own.

Calculate and review

Use the main action when needed. A transparent room-and-household heuristic creates small, medium and large box estimates plus a buffer.

Try a worked example

Start with the room estimate, then increase it for books, kitchenware, loft storage or long occupancy.

Check the assumptions

Every household is different; walk through cupboards and storage areas before purchasing the full amount.
