What a local move costs in Calgary
The middle local move in Calgary came to $768. Half cost less than that, and the middle half fell between $469 and $1,213.
That move billed 4.25 hours with a crew of 2, which is what the hourly rate above adds up to on a real day.
Read the smallest rows with their counts beside them. A middle taken over a few dozen jobs moves with the jobs, and we publish it as measured rather than smoothing it.
Figures from 3,685 local moves in Calgary, updated September 1, 2026. Medians and quartiles of what we invoiced, tax in, never averages. A local move is one whose pickup and at least one drop-off are both in Calgary.
| Home size | Middle move | Middle half fell between | Moves measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | Middle move $584 | Middle half fell between $416 to $823 | Moves measured 829 |
| 2 bedroom | Middle move $888 | Middle half fell between $637 to $1,242 | Moves measured 898 |
| 3 bedroom | Middle move $1,331 | Middle half fell between $913 to $1,905 | Moves measured 564 |
| 4 bedroom | Middle move $1,966 | Middle half fell between $1,242 to $2,566 | Moves measured 154 |
