A Kitchen Remodel Cost Calculator is an estimation tool designed to provide a ballpark figure for a kitchen renovation. By inputting your kitchen's size, desired quality of finishes, and the scope of your work, it generates an approximate budget, helping you plan your finances for the project.
Follow these steps for a basic budget estimate.
Determine the square footage of your kitchen and select the major components you plan to replace.
Choose a quality level (Budget, Mid-Range, High-End) which determines the cost multipliers for materials.
Sum the costs of all selected components and add a percentage for labor and unforeseen expenses.
Enter the total square footage of your kitchen. This is the primary driver of the overall cost.
Choose your desired quality level and select the components you plan to replace in your remodel.
Receive a ballpark cost estimate and a breakdown of how the costs are typically distributed.
Kitchen remodel costs are typically distributed across several key areas. Here's a common breakdown used for estimates:
A kitchen remodel is a significant investment. Getting a preliminary cost estimate is the most important first step. It helps you set a realistic budget, understand where your money is going, and make informed decisions about materials and scope. A good estimate prevents overspending and ensures your vision can be achieved without financial surprises.
Estimate Your RemodelCosts vary widely, but a good starting point is the "cost per square foot" model. A budget-friendly remodel might be $75-$150/sq.ft., a mid-range remodel $150-$250/sq.ft., and a high-end, custom remodel can easily exceed $250+/sq.ft. Our calculator uses these ranges as a baseline.
Cabinetry and hardware are almost always the single largest expense, typically accounting for 30-40% of the total budget. This is followed by installation/labor and then appliances and countertops.
You can save money by keeping your existing kitchen layout, doing some of the demolition or painting yourself, choosing more affordable materials like laminate countertops instead of quartz, and refreshing existing cabinets with paint and new hardware instead of replacing them entirely.
A minor remodel might take 1-3 weeks, while a full gut renovation can take anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks or more, depending on the scope, availability of materials, and contractor schedules.
Yes. Kitchen remodels consistently offer one of the highest returns on investment (ROI) of any home improvement project. A well-executed, mid-range kitchen remodel can often recoup 60-80% of its cost upon resale, in addition to the enjoyment it provides while you live there.
Absolutely. It's wise to set aside an extra 10-20% of your total budget as a contingency fund. Remodeling projects often uncover unexpected issues, like plumbing or electrical problems, that need to be addressed. This fund ensures you can handle surprises without derailing your project.
