The most stressful question in any move...
"How many boxes will I actually need?"
If you buy too few → last-minute panic. If you buy too many → wasted money. Keep reading or try the calculator now:
CALCULATE MY BOXES
Free • 40 seconds • No registration
That's why we created Telecajas Smart Calc™: the only calculator that doesn't just ask for square meters, but understands how you really live.
It takes into account what all the others ignore
- ✓ Years living in the house
- ✓ Whether you have a storage room / garage / attic
- ✓ Your actual level of “hoarding”
- ✓ Correct box types (no books in giant boxes!)
It tells you exactly how many of each type you need
+ It calculates tape rolls · meters of bubble wrap · and the exact size of van in m³
Tips that save you trouble (learned the hard way)
- Buy packs → always cheaper
- Seal in an "H" shape with good tape
- Label on the sides, not just the top
- Never put books in a large box → the bottom will break
This time you don't have to guess.
This time you'll arrive at your new home with everything under control and not a single extra box.
Your next move can be the first one that goes perfectly
How does Spain's most accurate Moving Box Calculator work?
Our free moving box calculator is the most used tool by people looking to find out how many boxes they need for a move without making mistakes or overspending. You just need to answer 6-8 quick questions: approximate square meters, years living in the home, if you have a storage room or garage, your level of accumulation (minimalist, normal, or "I keep everything") and some special rooms. In less than 40 seconds, the algorithm returns:
- ✓ Exact number of small, medium, and large moving cardboard boxes
- ✓ How many wardrobe boxes with hanger bars you need for hanging clothes
- ✓ Recommended rolls of sealing tape and meters of bubble wrap
- ✓ Total volume in m³ and the ideal van size for your move
Thousands of people have already used this free online moving calculator before buying their packs from Telecajas. Forget the old rule of "one box per square meter." With Telecajas Smart Calc™, you know exactly how many cardboard boxes you need for your move, based on your real situation.
Do you already know how many boxes you need?
At TeleCajas, we have complete moving packs already calculated by home size — from studios to large houses. They include boxes of various sizes, tape, bubble wrap, and a marker. One order and you're done. It doesn't matter if you order from a warehouse in Seville or a catalog like Raja: the number of boxes is determined by the house, not the supplier.
If you want to calculate the exact volume your move will occupy, use our box volume calculator. And for a complete guide to all the materials you might need, check out our packaging materials guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many boxes do I need for a move?
There isn't a single number. It depends on the square meters, the years in the house, if there's a storage room, and if you accumulate items. The moving box calculator estimates it in one minute.
What size box for books and what for clothes?
Books and heavy items go in the 40×30×30 cm box. Clothes, comforters, and bulky items go in the 60×40×40 cm box. Hanging clothes go in the cardboard wardrobe.
Is the one-box-per-square-meter rule valid?
No. It's a crude shortcut. Two apartments of the same size don't move the same way.
Moving pack or individual boxes?
If it's the entire house, a moving pack combines various sizes. If you only need books or clothes, go for the individual size.
