i think technically they can stop you until you turn 18 and are considered an adult and capable of making your own decisions, but maybe if you have a strong enough argument as to why you think you're ready to move out, they won't object! i think it's very responsible of you to have a job and the maturity to want to live on your own; i'm 18 and i go away to college but i still want my parents sometimes! maybe if you ease into it and tell them you're considering moving and see what they say first, it can become a discussion between the three of you rather than them just saying yes or no. it's hard for a family to watch their children move out and grow up, but you sound ready to me! let me know how it goes!!
