Melbourne moving cost calculator
Our built-in cubic metre calculator works out exactly how much you're moving. Add your addresses and access, and see what your Melbourne move will cost before you book.
For a typical local move, most Melbourne households pay somewhere between a few hundred dollars for a studio and around two thousand for a large family home. The biggest factor is the size of your home, followed by access and the distance between the two addresses.
| Home size | Estimated time | Typical estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2.25 hours | $505 – $705 |
| 1 bedroom | 2.75 hours | $595 – $795 |
| 2 bedrooms | 4.25 hours | $865 – $1,065 |
| 3 bedrooms | 6.25 hours | $1,319 – $1,519 |
| 4 bedrooms | 7.75 hours | $1,611 – $1,811 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 9 hours | $1,855 – $2,055 |

Our moving cost calculator builds your price the same way an experienced removalist would, one piece at a time:
Most online removalist calculators ask how many bedrooms you have and guess the rest. Ours has a cubic metre calculator built in. You add your actual furniture, room by room, from 128 common household items, and it calculates the total cubic metres you're moving.
That volume, not a guess based on bedrooms, is what sets your loading and unloading time, the truck size and your price. It means two 3-bedroom homes with very different amounts of furniture each get their own, fair price, and we arrive with the right truck for exactly how much you're moving.
Your total volume in cubic metres comes with your quote, so you can see precisely what the price is based on. Want to calculate cubic metres on their own first? Use our standalone cubic metre calculator.
Our moving checklist covers all of this week by week.
Use this removalist cost calculator when you want every line of the price itemised from your actual furniture. If you just want a fast answer, the instant quote calculates your moving cost from the size of your home in about a minute. Both use the same pricing, so you can start with either and switch at any time.
Quick answers to what people ask us before booking.
It’s as accurate as the list you give it. The built-in cubic metre calculator works out the exact volume of the items you add, and that volume sets your loading time and price. Items added on the day, or access that’s harder than described, will change the final invoice.
List your furniture and appliances, then add your boxes in the Boxes & Bags section. Boxes are easy to underestimate, so a realistic box count makes the biggest difference to accuracy.
Total cubic metres of your belongings, the truck size and crew needed, expected loading and unloading time, and — when combined with your addresses — the driving time and any extra time for stairs or lifts.
