Box mix in this worked example
The calculator splits the planning total into roughly 20% small boxes, 52% medium, 22% large and 6% wardrobe boxes. Here that becomes 15 small, 38 medium, 16 large and 4 wardrobe boxes.
What drives the estimate
The model starts with a property-size baseline, adds average kitchen, book and overflow allowances, adjusts for 2 occupants, then applies the typical contents multiplier.
Packing materials
A planning starting point is 10 rolls of tape and about 51 m of protective wrap. Dense books and fragile kitchenware should normally go into smaller cartons.
