What this calculator actually does
Plug in your origin, destination, home size and a rough move date and the calculator returns a realistic ballpark range based on the jobs our crews ran last month out of Baltimore. It’s not a binding quote — only the written flat-rate contract from Theresa in our office is binding — but it’ll keep you out of fantasy-land while you compare options.
How the numbers are built
Local Baltimore moves are priced from our two-tier hourly board: two movers plus a truck at one rate, three movers plus a truck at the higher rate, both including blankets, dollies, shrink-wrap, tape and basic disassembly. Most local jobs convert to a binding flat rate once we see your inventory.
Long-distance estimates
For interstate jobs the calculator uses corridor mileage, your home size and our typical fuel and per-diem costs. Anchors come from the I-95 routes Reggie runs out of Baltimore weekly — see the full routes hub for the lane that fits you.
- Origin and destination determine corridor and mileage
- Home size (studio, 1BR, 2BR, 3BR+) drives truck size and crew count
- Date window matters — peak season and weekends price differently than mid-week off-season
- Stairs, walk-ups and high-rise COIs affect labor time
- Packing scope — self-pack, partial, full — changes both materials and labor
What the calculator can’t see
Tight alley access in Canton, a freight-elevator-only window at a HarborView tower, a third-story walk-up in Fells Point, or fifty boxes you forgot to mention. That’s why the calculator’s number is a range, not a promise. When you’re ready for the real, binding number, send the inventory through the free quote form and we’ll have a written flat-rate quote back to you the same business day.
Read the numbers above as a quick sanity check, not a final figure. Your real binding flat rate turns on the actual inventory, the marble-stoop drop, the rowhouse alley, the basement and stair access at both ends, and the miles on the truck — a Fells Point one-bedroom and a four-bedroom Roland Park Victorian land in very different tiers, and an I-95 corridor run into DC prices differently from a hop across the Beltway. For a firm signed number, send a few details and the Baltimore Movers office writes it back fast, usually inside the hour on a weekday.
