Cubic Meter Calculator
Wondering what size of moving truck will you need for your move? The first step is to calculate the volume of your belongings in cubic meters. Use our cubic meter calculator to get an idea of how much space you’ll need in the truck on your moving day.
How to calculate m3 of an item
You simply need to measure all three dimensions of your item: Length (L), width (W) and height (H). Then, use a calculator to multiply all three values to calculate the cubic metres: Item volume (m3) = L x W x H. Use the right units for the initial measurement – always use the value in meters to end up with m3. So, if the depth of your fridge is 64 cm, use 0.64 (m) as the value for the calculation.
Volume of selected household items
We’ve included the cubic metres for some of the most commonly moved household items. Use the table or picture to get the idea – of course, your items can be a bit bigger or smaller, depending on the specification. Measure them up and calculate the cubic meters for yourself or use these indicative values to calculate the total cubic meters of the items you need to move!
