    How do you calculate moving volume?

    The volume of an item is length × width × height in metres. A 200 × 90 × 80 cm sofa takes about 1.44 m³. The calculator gives you a standard list for your home size that you can freely change and extend.

    Why does the volume increase after packing?

    The values in the list are net volumes without packing. Bubble wrap, blankets, film and boxes, plus gaps when loading, usually increase the total by 10–20%. The calculator therefore shows the transport volume including a packing allowance.

    The result is an estimate; the exact volume is determined during the free survey with a net m³ measurement.
