| Company | Base Quote | Packing | Storage | Insurance | Discount | Final Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metro Move | $4200 | $300 | $0 | $120 | $150 | $4470 |
| Prime Relocation | $4650 | $250 | $100 | $150 | $200 | $4950 |

Final Quote = Base Quote + Packing + Storage + Insurance − Discount
Average Price = Sum of all final quotes ÷ Number of quotes
Median = Middle quote after sorting all totals
Range = Highest quote − Lowest quote
Standard Deviation measures how widely estimates differ from the average.
Coefficient of Variation = (Standard Deviation ÷ Average) × 100
Trimmed Average removes the lowest and highest quotes first.
Average Per Mile = Average Price ÷ Distance
Average Per 100 lbs = Average Price ÷ (Weight ÷ 100)
Average Per Room = Average Price ÷ Rooms
Moving costs can vary widely. Base estimates often look similar at first. Real totals change after packing, storage, valuation coverage, and discounts. A stronger comparison method helps you avoid underbudgeting. It also makes vendor selection more objective.
The average price gives a quick market view. It is useful for early planning. Yet averages alone can hide outliers. One very high estimate may distort the picture. That is why this calculator also shows median, range, and standard deviation.
A narrow spread suggests quotes are clustered. That usually means pricing is consistent. A wide spread signals uncertainty. It may point to different service assumptions. Check packing scope, stairs, elevator access, storage days, and coverage limits before deciding.
The trimmed average removes the lowest and highest totals. This helps when one quote is unusually cheap or expensive. It can create a more stable planning number. Many analysts use trimmed values to reduce noise in operational estimates.
Average per mile helps evaluate distance impact. Average per 100 pounds helps compare shipment density. Average per room gives a fast residential benchmark. These unit measures are useful when reviewing multiple homes, lanes, or moving scenarios.
Use the budget planning price when preparing a safer spend target. It adds a small margin above the average. This can reduce surprise costs during booking. For best results, compare at least three detailed quotes with the same service assumptions.
It compares multiple moving company totals and shows average, median, range, standard deviation, trimmed average, and unit pricing. These metrics help you analyze price consistency and build a stronger relocation budget.
Yes. Packing, storage, and insurance can change the final price materially. Including them creates a more realistic comparison and reduces the chance of choosing a quote that only looks cheaper upfront.
Median shows the middle price after sorting all quotes. It is often more stable than the average when one estimate is unusually high or unusually low.
Three to five quotes usually give a practical comparison set. Fewer quotes reduce reliability. More quotes can improve confidence when services are matched carefully.
It measures how far quotes spread around the average. A lower value means estimates are closer together. A higher value suggests more pricing uncertainty or inconsistent service assumptions.
Use it when one quote seems abnormally low or high. Removing extreme values can provide a cleaner planning figure for budget discussions and vendor review.
Yes. It produces a budget planning price above the average. That extra room may help cover small changes in service scope, access conditions, or final shipment details.
No. It supports comparison and planning. Final charges still depend on contract terms, inventory details, access conditions, moving dates, and actual services delivered.
