Planning a Move? Don’t Let Surprise Costs Ruin It.



If you’ve ever searched for “moving cost calculator” while preparing to shift homes, you’re not alone. But here’s the problem—most calculators throw out random guesses that don’t reflect real bills.

That’s exactly why we built the AssureShift Packing & Moving Cost Calculator—designed for Indian cities, based on real booking data from verified movers.

Let’s dive into what makes it different and how closely it matches real-world costs.


The Problem With Most Online Estimates

Here’s where most calculators fail:

  • They ignore city-specific pricing differences

  • No consideration for floor level or elevator access

  • Packing materials and add-ons not included

  • Distance is simplified into vague categories

  • Hidden or seasonal charges completely skipped

The result? You plan for ₹5,000 and end up shelling out ₹8,500. That’s not just annoying—it’s stressful.


How AssureShift’s Calculator Solves This

Our tool isn’t just a form with guesses. It’s built from live data and refined by professionals. Here’s how it works:

  1. Pick your move type – within city or between cities

  2. Select home size – like 1 BHK, 2 BHK, etc.

  3. Add optional details – floor number, lift access, etc.

  4. Choose packing preference – standard or waterproof

  5. Get your cost estimate – complete with realistic low–high range

All estimates are backed by real bookings from our network of 1,800+ verified packers and movers, updated regularly.


Real Estimates vs Actual Bills – The Accuracy Breakdown

We crunched the numbers from over 100 real moves (Jan–June 2025) to compare calculator estimates with final invoices. Here’s what we found:


1 BHK, within city:

  • Estimate: ₹4,800 – ₹7,500

  • Actual Bill: ₹5,300 – ₹7,200

  • Variance: ±8%

2 BHK, within city:

  • Estimate: ₹6,500 – ₹10,500

  • Actual Bill: ₹7,200 – ₹10,000

  • Variance: ±7%

1 BHK, city to city:

  • Estimate: ₹8,000 – ₹14,000

  • Actual Bill: ₹8,500 – ₹13,500

  • Variance: ±6%

Vehicle + Household Move:

  • Estimate: ₹12,000 – ₹22,000

  • Actual Bill: ₹13,000 – ₹21,000

  • Variance: ±6–7%

Pro Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Estimate

Make sure you’re using your estimate smartly:

  • Avoid using basic calculators with no location or packing input

  • Double-check for hidden costs like GST, tolls, or extra handling

  • Book off-peak slots (like weekdays) for better pricing

  • List out your items clearly before asking for quotes

  • Always ask for a written estimate—verbal rates can change


Real-Life Example: Accuracy in Action

Meet Rachita and Vivek, a couple shifting from Indiranagar to Whitefield in Bangalore. They used the AssureShift calculator before booking.

  • Calculator Estimate: ₹7,000 – ₹10,500

  • Final Invoice: ₹9,100 (with waterproof packing)

  • How they felt: “Budgeting was smooth, and there were no surprises. We were even saved by booking a Tuesday slot!”

This isn’t an exception—it’s what you can expect with the right tools.
