Calculation method
How the estimate is built.
Bedroom and household size form a base box count, adjusted by the selected clutter level. The supply estimate divides boxes into a starter mix of standard small, medium, and large moving cartons, then adds tape plus packing paper for rooms with fragile items.
Field notes
Use the estimate well.
Label boxes by room and priority so the first night is less chaotic.
Keep hardware, chargers, medicine, and documents in a separate essentials bag.
