How To Use
Budget your entire move — every cost, every line item, zero surprises on moving day
🚀 Getting Started
1
Select Move Type
Local (under 50 miles), long-distance, or DIY truck rental. Each has very different costs.
2
Enter Home Size
Studio to 4+ bedrooms. Bigger homes = more packing, more truck space, more labor hours.
3
See Every Cost
23+ line items including hidden costs: overlap rent, utility setup, cleaning, pet deposits, storage, and more.
4
Plan Your Timeline
Tasks mapped to 8 weeks before your move date. Start early to save money and stress.
📊 Terms Made Simple
Overlap Rent: The days you're paying rent on BOTH your old and new place. Typically 1-2 weeks. At $2,000/mo, 14 days of overlap = $933 extra.
Security Deposit: Usually 1 month's rent for the new place. Budget this on top of first month's rent. That's 2x rent due on day one.
Utility Setup Fees: Electric, gas, water, internet — each charges $25-100 to start service. Budget $200-400 total.
CapEx/Supplies: Boxes ($50-200), tape, bubble wrap, mattress bags, wardrobe boxes. Plus cleaning supplies for both places.
