Use this tool for a clear estimate
Moving work can be demanding and time-sensitive, involving heavy lifting, stairs, packing, careful handling, and travel. Use this calculator to estimate a percentage or split a total among movers.
Enter the amount you want to use as your starting total, then select a percentage or enter your own. The calculation is instant; the judgement behind the tip is always yours.
Things worth considering
There is no universal amount that fits every situation. Before choosing a tip, it can help to think about:
- The size and difficulty of the move.
- Care taken with fragile or heavy items.
- Weather, stairs, distance, and extra effort.
Make the final total easy to share
If more than one person is paying, use the split field above. It shows the tip per person and the full amount per person, so everyone can see the same calculation.
Frequently asked questions
Should movers be tipped per person or as a team?
Either approach can work. Enter the number of movers in the split field to see what an evenly shared total would be.
Can I choose my own tip percentage?
Yes. Use the custom tip field for any percentage that suits the service and your circumstances.
Are calculator results exact?
The arithmetic is based on the figures you enter. Check the receipt and your entered amount before making a payment, especially where fees or taxes apply.
