Review the example assumptions, enter your values and calculate.

How do I total moving expenses with a contingency?

Subtotal = sum of entered expenses. Contingency = subtotal × percentage/100. Total budget = subtotal + contingency.

Worked example

If you enter 1,000 for movers and 200 for packing, a 10% contingency adds 120, giving 1,320 in your selected display currency.

Assumptions & limitations

  • All expenses start at zero: unpriced, not a free move or a market quote. Enter all amounts in one currency.
  • USD, CAD, GBP, EUR and AUD are display labels only. Changing currency preserves the entered numbers and performs no exchange-rate conversion.
  • Include your own taxes, deposits, insurance, access fees, travel and other charges as appropriate. Avoid double counting bundled quotes. Contingency is optional and is not a price guarantee.
