Moving Companies in Madison, MS
Local movers in the Madison and greater Jackson area typically charge $85 to $105 an hour per mover, so a standard two-person crew runs $170 to $210 an hour combined. Most companies enforce a 2- or 3-hour minimum, meaning you pay for that block of time even if the job finishes sooner. Labor-only help, where you handle the truck yourself, averages $483.32 total, at roughly $88.55 an hour.
What to expect by home size
- Studio or one-bedroom apartment: $250 to $500
- Two- to three-bedroom home: $600 to $1,500 or more
- Four or more bedrooms: $1,500 to $3,500 or more, depending on heavy or specialty items
Get an exact bedroom count and hours estimate before you book, since both factors drive the final price more than anything else. A written, itemized quote also makes it easier to compare crews and avoid surprise charges once the truck is loaded. Ask specifically whether the quoted rate covers packing supplies and travel time to your home, since companies handle those costs differently, and confirm the crew size you're actually getting before you settle on a number.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Madison County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 37% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
