Moving Budget Planner

About this tool

Plan the cost of a house move in one list: van or removal firm, boxes, deposits, cleaning and admin. Put an estimate against each cost, add the actual price when you know it, tick what you have paid, and see the expected total and what is still to pay. It is all stored in this browser.

How it works

• Expected total uses the actual cost where you entered one and the estimate where you did not.
• Over or under the estimate is the expected total minus the sum of all estimates. On each line it is the actual cost minus the estimate.
• Already paid adds up the ticked lines, using the actual cost or, if there is none yet, the estimate. Still to pay is the expected total minus what is already paid.
• By category adds up the expected cost in each category, largest first.

Common questions

What if I only have a quote and no final price yet?

Put the quote in Estimate and leave Actual empty. The expected total uses the estimate until you type the real price.

Does a paid line without an actual price count?

Yes. A ticked line counts as paid at its estimate until you add the actual amount, so type the real figure as soon as you have it.

Can I mix costs in two currencies?

No. Pick one currency code for the whole list, because amounts are not converted. Convert any foreign costs yourself before you enter them.
