Modeled moving cost
A 3-bedroom interstate move involving New York models at $5,150–$6,900 at the median corridor distance we publish for the state, about 1,240 miles. Half of the 122 New York corridors in our inventory model between $5,050 and $9,250 at that size. Which New York metro you load in moves the crew-service half of the number. Everything below is computed from that cohort. Nothing here is a quote. Our model prices a disclosed corridor set; your own corridor page narrows the range before a surveyor sets the final weight.

How we read the New York corridor set
Service-index assumptions across the 2 New York metros we price differ by 0.22, so the metro you load in shifts the estimate before distance is counted.
Every figure on this page comes from the same model applied to every corridor we publish. The full distribution behind it — percentiles, distance bands and the assumptions we declare — is published on the moving cost data page.
What our New York corridor data shows
First-party statistics computed across every published corridor with an endpoint in this state. Model outputs, not collected quotes or survey data.
- Modeled corridorsModeled
- 122 published
- The New York cohort is 122 modeled corridors (69 out, 53 in) reaching 33 states. Statistics below are computed over exactly those lanes.
- Median modeled midpointDerived
- $6,200
- Across the 122 published corridors involving New York, the median modeled 3-bedroom midpoint is $6,200 on a median lane of 1,240 miles. Half the cohort models below that figure.
- Middle half of the cohortDerived
- $5,050–$9,250
- A quarter of New York corridors model below $5,050 and a quarter above $9,250. Planning against that interquartile band is more honest than planning against a single state average.
- Modeled distance rangeDerived
- 766–2,434 miles
- The middle half of the New York cohort runs 766 to 2,434 miles, inside a full span of 210 to 2,925 miles. Distance is the first thing that separates two New York quotes.
- Long-haul shareDerived
- 42% of corridors
- 42% of the New York cohort runs 1,500 miles or more and 27% stays under 800 miles. Where your own move falls in that split decides which cost lever is worth negotiating.
- Distance effectDerived
- $1,325 per 500 miles
- Fitting midpoint against distance across the New York cohort, each additional 500 modeled miles adds roughly $1,325 to a 3-bedroom estimate. It is the fastest sanity check on a quote: compare the mileage gap before comparing the prices.
- Home-size effectDerived
- $325 per 500 lbs
- Held at the New York cohort's median distance, every additional 500 lbs of shipment adds about $325 in the model. Inventory accuracy moves a New York estimate further than corridor choice does for most households.
- Service-index assumptionAssumption
- 1.00–1.22
- Our service-index assumptions for the 2 New York metros we price run 1.00 to 1.22 against a 1.00 national baseline, so which New York metro you load in changes the crew-service half of the estimate before any mileage is counted. This is a disclosed model input, not an observed wage statistic.

Metro assumptions inside New York
Our service-index assumptions for the 2 New York metros we price run 1.00 to 1.22 against a 1.00 national baseline. Which metro you load in changes the crew-service half of the estimate before any mileage is counted. These are disclosed model inputs, not observed wage data.
The modeled New York cost band
A quarter of New York corridors model below $5,050 at 3 bedrooms and a quarter above $9,250. Where your own move lands inside that band is decided by distance first and shipment weight second.
Where the New York cohort sits on the map
4 corridors show the shape of the cohort: New York to Baltimore (shortest modeled lane, 210 miles, $2,800 modeled midpoint); Fort Lauderdale to New York (median modeled lane, 1,240 miles, $6,100 modeled midpoint); San Francisco to New York (longest modeled lane, 2,925 miles, $10,550 modeled midpoint); New York to San Francisco (highest modeled midpoint, 2,925 miles, $10,550 modeled midpoint). Open any of them for the component-level breakdown behind the midpoint.
What distance does to a New York estimate
Regressed over these New York lanes, modeled midpoints move about $1,325 per additional 500 miles at 3 bedrooms. That is a relationship inside our model, not a rate carriers publish. Use it to sanity-check a quote against the corridor page, not to price a lane we do not publish.

New York moving cost questions
How much does a long-distance move in or out of New York cost?
Across the 122 New York corridors we price, a 3-bedroom move is estimated at $5,150–$6,900, with a median corridor of about 1,240 miles. Corridor length, shipment weight and the month you book explain most of the spread. This range is modeled, so a surveyed carrier estimate may land above or below it.
How much does it cost to move out of New York?
Our pricing model places a 3-bedroom interstate move at $5,150–$6,900 at the median New York corridor distance of 1,240 miles. Half of the published New York corridors model between $5,050 and $9,250. The corridor page for your own city pair is narrower and more useful.
Does the New York metro I move from change the price?
In our model, yes: service-index assumptions for the 2 New York metros we price span 1.00 to 1.22 against a 1.00 baseline, which shifts the crew-service portion before distance is counted.
Why do New York moving costs vary so much?
Because the corridors do. The New York lanes we price run 210 to 2,925 miles, and each additional 500 miles adds roughly $1,325 to a 3-bedroom estimate in the model. Distance first, shipment weight second, market assumptions third.
Can I use these New York figures as a quote?
No. Every number here is a model output computed from published corridor data and disclosed assumptions. A binding or non-binding estimate requires a survey of your actual shipment, access conditions and dates, and can land outside these ranges.
