- Compare quotes from movers on equal terms
In short: cubic feet turn chaos into math.

Cubic Feet Calculator FAQ
What are cubic feet?
Cubic feet (ft³) measure volume. It’s the amount of space an object occupies.
Moving companies use cubic feet to determine truck size, storage needs, and sometimes pricing.
Why do movers use cubic feet instead of weight?
For household moves, volume is often more practical than weight.
Furniture and boxes take up space first — weight usually becomes a concern only for very heavy items.
How accurate is this calculator?
It’s accurate based on the measurements you enter.
For best results, measure generously and avoid rounding down — real trucks don’t compress like spreadsheets.
Does this help with truck size selection?
Yes. Once you know your total cubic feet, you can match it to common truck capacities and avoid renting the wrong size.
Should I add extra space?
Yes. Packing efficiency is never perfect.
Adding a buffer helps account for gaps, awkward items, and boxes that refuse to stack nicely.
