As said, it depends on industry and position. The point of a corporate relo is to keep you whole - you should not really pay any expenses that you would not have incurred had you not agreed to relocate on behalf of the company. The general package tends to include full cost of packing/moving, 2-4 family trips to locate new housing, any interim housing until new home is able to be occupied, payment of all and any RE fees, taxes, etc. for sale of your existing home, plus some pocket money for incidentals. And the most important two words: "gross up." The tax hit on relocation can be very significant.
