Telecajas Calculator CALCULATE MY BOXES

Free • 40 seconds • No registration required

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
  • ✓ If you have a storage room / garage / attic
  • ✓ Your actual level of “accumulation”
  • ✓ Correct types of boxes (no books in giant boxes!)

It tells you exactly how many of each type you need.

📚 Small (40×30×30 cm)
Books, dishes, bottles, tools… everything that weighs a lot
👕 Medium (50×35×35 cm)
Folded clothes, toys, light household items → the most versatile box
🛏️ Large (60×40×40 cm)
Duvets, pillows, lamps, stuffed animals… volume without weight
👗 Wardrobe boxes with clothes rack
Suits, dresses and shirts → arrive perfect and ready to hang

+ It calculates rolls of tape, meters of bubble wrap, and the exact size of the van in m³

Tips that save you trouble (learned the hard way)

  • Buy bundles → always cheaper
  • Close in an "H" shape with good tape
  • Label on the sides, not just the top
  • Never buy books in large boxes → the bottom breaks

This time you don't have to guess.
This time you arrive at your new home with everything under control and without a single extra box.

💕 Your next move can be the first one that goes perfectly.
