Typical moving bonuses I’ve come across range 5-10K. Do the math on how you would move, including packing materials, or moving services, rental truck and gas or paying a company to move you, etc, so you can get within range of a number you can back up. Round up

^ Need at least three donkeys to get over the mountains. But for real, there are decent calculators out on the web for this. Home square footage, distance traveled...add a little margin on top for a little spending cash for the stuff that gets broken and wa-la. You could always do it the old fashion way and call a few mixing shops and get estimates and then add some % to it and use that

20k

Make sure you factor in a couple nights in a hotel if you need it - I’d budget a week for once they pick up your stuff to when they move it into your new place

Don’t forget relo is taxable. Gross up accordingly.

At least $10k-$12k after that’s taxed it’s only like 60%

Depends if you have a house. I'd ask for 10k if you don't, more if you do.
