How to Use the SpacU Fit Score Before Your Next Move

Using the SpacU Fit Score before a move takes under five minutes: check off your furniture and box counts by room, complete the five-item readiness checklist, and get your storage size, truck size, supply list, and cost range in one result.

Step 1: Walk through your home room by room

Start in the bedroom and work outward. For each room block in the tool, enter the quantity of each furniture type you plan to move or store, rather than trying to estimate a whole-house total at once.

Step 2: Count your boxes honestly

Most people undercount boxes. If you haven't packed yet, estimate high for closets, kitchens, and garages, since these areas typically generate more small and medium boxes than bedrooms.

Step 3: Complete the readiness checklist

The five checklist items aren't just a formality: sorting before a move measurably reduces both the truck size and unit size you need, since a completed keep/donate/sell/toss pass usually removes 10-30% of total volume.

Step 4: Read all four results together

The unit size, truck size, box count, and cost range are designed to be read as a set. If your truck recommendation feels large relative to your storage recommendation, that's often a sign some items are being moved directly rather than stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I run the calculator before or after decluttering?

Both. Run it once early to see your baseline, then again after a decluttering pass to see the real impact on unit and truck size.

What if my result changes as my plans change?

Simply re-check the boxes and re-run the calculation; nothing is saved, so there's no conflict with an earlier result.
