Build my supply listWhy we built these tools
Most online quote forms hide the math and hand you one number that fits almost nobody, then ask for your email before they'll show it. We took the opposite approach. Every tool here is free, requires no sign-up, and shows you each line of the estimate so you understand exactly where the number comes from and what you can change to bring it down. Use them to set realistic expectations, compare your options side by side, and walk into any move or rental knowing what to expect.
That includes the answers that don't flatter us. The Business & Inventory Storage Calculator prices your space against a 3PL and a warehouse lease side by side, and says so plainly when a warehouse bay starts to make more sense. We'd rather rent you the right size than the biggest one.

Frequently asked questions
Are these tools really free?
Yes. Every tool here is completely free and require no sign-up, login, or payment information. Just open one and start entering your details.
How accurate are the estimates?
They're well-grounded estimates built from published industry data, not binding quotes. The moving calculator uses the same weight-and-distance and hourly formulas professional movers use, the size calculators are based on standard unit dimensions and real item footprints, and the supply counts follow standard mover estimating rules. Use them to plan and compare, then confirm with a provider before you book.
Which tool should I use first?
Start with the Storage Unit Size Calculator for household goods, or the Business & Inventory Storage Calculator if you're storing stock, equipment or records. Then price the move and build your supply list.
Is there anything different about storing for a business?
Quite a lot. Business inventory gets accessed constantly, so aisle space matters more than raw volume, racking changes the answer by a whole unit size, and the real question is usually cost per pallet against what a 3PL or a warehouse lease would charge. The Business & Inventory Storage Calculator handles all of that; the household size calculator doesn't try to.
Do I need a Value Store It account to use them?
No. The tools work for anyone, anywhere. When you're ready to rent, you can browse availability and reserve a unit at any of our Florida and Massachusetts locations.
