Choose inputs that match your quote or inventory

Use the billing period in the actual agreement. It may not align with your move dates or a calendar month. Put the total stay’s known tax, lock and administrative costs in setup, and include transport and labor in both directions. Do not assume a promotional first period continues for the rest of the stay.

Total = max(0, ceil(periods) × (rent + recurring fees) + setup + transport − confirmed discount)

Limits and rounding

Billing periods are those in the actual agreement, not assumed calendar months or 30-day blocks. Use actual undiscounted rates and only a confirmed discount; no guaranteed promotion. Tax entered in setup as a total for the stay. Deposit holds excluded. Discounts cannot create negative cost.

Does this assume unused days are refunded?

No. Fractional periods round up in this model. If the provider gives written prorated terms, enter the exact equivalent charge using a one-period scenario or calculate those periods separately. A discount cannot reduce the displayed cost below zero.

Are the default prices or quantities verified for my move?

No. They illustrate the calculation. Replace them with your written quote, measured inventory and applicable terms. Save the input values with your planning worksheet so another person can reproduce the result.
