How many cubic metres is your move?
Tally your furniture and boxes with the same cube-sheet values a removalist uses. Two minutes, and the number you get is the number you'll be priced on.

Calculator questions.
How do I calculate the cubic metres for my move?
Count your items and add up their loaded volumes — the space each piece takes on a truck deck including blankets and packing air, not its tape-measure size. This calculator uses the industry cube-sheet values (a 3-seat sofa is 1.9 m³, a queen bed 1.6 m³, a medium box 0.1 m³) and totals them as you click, which is the same maths a removalist does when quoting.
Is this the same volume the quote will use?
Yes — this calculator and the Pea quote tool share the exact same item catalogue and cube-sheet values, and the quote button carries your total straight into the quote with the volume prefilled. No re-entering, and no surprise when the price comes back.
What do typical homes add up to?
A studio is about 8 m³, a 1-bedroom apartment 16 m³, a 2-bedroom home 26 m³, a 3-bedroom home 36 m³ and a 4-bedroom home 50 m³. The calculator shows which standard size your tally is closest to as you go — most people find the garage, shed and balcony push them one size bigger than they guessed.
