What does moving help cost in Stockholm in 2026? Prices with RUT
Moving help prices in Stockholm 2026 by apartment size, with and without RUT. What is included, what costs extra and how to avoid invoice surprises.
Moving in Stockholm has its own cost drivers: inner-city stairwells without lifts, limited loading zones and a peak season around month-end that pushes prices up. It is still possible to move affordably if you book right and know what actually moves the total.
Here is what moving help costs in Stockholm in 2026, how the RUT deduction works and which add-ons usually surprise people.
Prices by home size
The hourly rate for a two-person crew with a van is normally 900–1,400 SEK after RUT in Stockholm.
| Home | After RUT | Before RUT |
|---|---|---|
| 1 room and kitchen | 3,500–5,500 SEK | 7,000–11,000 SEK |
| 2 rooms and kitchen | 5,000–8,000 SEK | 10,000–16,000 SEK |

How RUT works when moving
RUT gives you 50 percent off the labour cost when moving between two homes, up to 75,000 SEK per person per year shared with other RUT services. Carrying, packing, unpacking and transport between the homes are covered. Storage, moving boxes and insurance are not.
The moving company applies the deduction directly on the invoice. You only need to be registered in Sweden, be over 18 and have enough tax to offset.
Add-ons people forget
- Stairs without a lift, often 300–800 SEK per floor.
- Long carrying distance from door to van, common in the inner city.
- Heavy items such as pianos, safes or large appliances.
- Moving on the last working day of the month, when demand peaks.
- Hauling old furniture to recycling.
Three ways to cut the price
Decluttering before the move is the single most effective saving. Every cubic metre you do not move is time you do not pay for.
- Book mid-month and avoid Fridays.
- Pack yourself, but let the crew carry and drive.
- Declutter before the move rather than after; you pay per volume and time.
