How the quote math works.
We open-sourced it. The lookup table below is what the calculator runs. Same inputs, same outputs, no black box.

Base hours by size × $170. Stairs and packing multiply the base. The range is ±18% to reflect access variation we can't see from a form.

The upper bound is quoted slightly high on purpose. Most moves come in under the high end. If yours runs over, we have a written quote in your hand before the truck leaves the depot.
