These figures are estimates to help you quote a job. Adjust the rates to match your local market, crew and fuel costs, distance, and how you price.
It is a free tool that turns your crew, hours, and services into a fast, itemized price for a move. Instead of guessing or reworking a spreadsheet on every quote, you pick each service, set the hours or quantity, adjust the rate to match your pricing, and see the subtotal, a suggested range, and a recommended estimate right away. It works for hourly local moves and for flat home-size pricing.
Add one row per service. For an hourly move, pick a crew size (for example "2 movers and a truck (per hour)") and enter the number of hours as the quantity. For flat pricing, pick a home size (studio, 2-bedroom, and so on) and leave the quantity at 1. The tool fills in a typical starting rate for each, which you can change to match your market. Tick any add-ons such as a truck fee, stairs, or a heavy item, set your minimum, and your estimate updates instantly.
Local moves are usually priced hourly: a crew size times an hourly rate, with a truck or travel fee and a minimum number of hours. Flat rates by home size are common for straightforward jobs and easier for the client to understand. Long-distance moves are different again, priced mostly on weight and mileage. Stairs, long carries, heavy items, and packing all add to the total, which is why every rate here is editable. For a deeper look at what to charge, see our guide on how to price a moving job. When the job is booked, bill it with our free moving company invoice template.
These are common starting points for local moves in the United States. Treat them as a baseline and adjust for your area and costs.
| Service | Typical rate |
|---|---|
| 2 movers and a truck (per hour) | $100 to $150 |
| 3 movers and a truck (per hour) | $140 to $200 |
| Local move, 2-bedroom (flat) | $500 to $900 |
| Local move, 3-bedroom (flat) | $900 to $1,400 |
| Truck and travel fee | $50 to $150 |
| Minimum charge | $200 to $350 |
Do a quick walkthrough or video call to gauge the volume and access, keep a firm minimum and truck fee, and price stairs, long carries, and heavy items separately so they are not a surprise. Put the crew size, hourly rate or flat price, and what is included in writing before moving day. When the job is agreed, our free moving company quote template and estimate and quote generator turn the same line items into a professional document you can send in seconds.
Once the estimate is accepted, invoice the job straight away and keep the payment terms short:
From our invoice data: Shorter terms bring the money in sooner: invoices due on receipt are paid in 15.9 days on average and Net 30 invoices in 47.2 days, while the share paid by the due date barely changes (39.1% against 42.3%).
