Moving cost calculator here is computed against Livdar. The inputs are shown, the assumptions are written down, and the result is a range rather than a single number wherever the underlying data supports only a range.
The question here is what it costs to move a household from one place to another, and it is the one tool on this site with no statistical office behind it, because no statistical office publishes removal prices. The model is Livdar's own: volume, distance, crew hours, packing, insurance and the handling that crossing a border adds. Volume beyond one vehicle becomes a second trip, which is the step a linear estimate misses and the reason cheap online quotes come in low. The answer is always a range with its assumptions attached, never a single number, and it is never a quote.
Worked example: a two bedroom home moved five hundred kilometres comes out between 1,095 and 1,715 euro, and the tool says which assumptions produced each end of that range.
The method is not a secret and not a model anybody has to trust. The tool reads the published values from Livdar, applies the arithmetic the page describes, and shows the year of every value it used, so a reader who disagrees with the answer can see exactly which number they disagree with.

Questions
Where do the numbers come from?
Moving cost calculator computes against Livdar. Every figure it uses carries the institution that published it and the year it describes.
Is the result a quote?
No. It is an estimate from published statistics, and it says which statistics and for which year. Anything binding has to come from whoever is going to charge you.
