About This Tool
This residential relocation calculator estimates how many cardboard packing boxes, specialized wardrobe cartons, and heavy-duty packing tape rolls you need to pack an apartment, condominium, or detached house.\n\nSelect your home bedroom count (from 1 to 7 bedrooms) and specify your household belongings density: Minimalist (0.8 multiplier), Average furnished home (1.0 multiplier), or Heavy / Collector (1.3 multiplier). The formula allocates small 1.5 cu ft boxes for books and canned pantry goods, medium 3.0 cu ft boxes for cookware and small electronics, large 4.5 cu ft boxes for linens and pillows, and tall wardrobe boxes for hanging closet clothing, plus 1 roll of 55-yard packaging tape per 15 boxes. All estimations evaluate client-side inside your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
What items go into small versus large moving boxes?
Small boxes (1.5 cu ft) should hold dense, heavy items like books, tools, and canned food so boxes do not break. Large boxes (4.5 cu ft) are designed for lightweight, bulky items like blankets, pillows, and winter coats.
How much packing tape do I need for a move?
As a reliable standard rule, one 55-yard roll of packing tape seals approximately 15 standard moving boxes with double-taped bottom and top seams.
