Kitchen Remodel Cost Calculator

This kitchen remodel cost calculator scales the national range to your area and builds a line-item budget; our kitchen remodeling guide covers scope. This tool gives two views. The quick range starts from the typical kitchen remodel span of $14,550–$40,400 (updated March 2026) and lets you scale it for local prices. The line-item budget totals your own numbers — cabinets, counters, appliances, labor — and adds a contingency. Enter as many or as few line items as you have.

Results from this calculator are planning estimates; confirm quantities and prices with your supplier or contractor before you order.

How to use the kitchen remodel cost calculator

Keep or edit the national range.
Set a local cost factor based on quotes in your area.
Enter any line items you know and a contingency.

Formula

Quick range = national low/high × local factor. Budget = sum of line items × (1 + contingency).

Worked example

With a 1.3 factor the quick range becomes about $18,900–$52,500. Line items of $12,000 cabinets + $4,000 counters + $6,000 appliances + $3,000 flooring + $10,000 labor + $2,000 fees = $37,000, or $42,550 with 15% contingency.

Tips for using the kitchen remodel cost calculator

Moving plumbing, gas or walls adds the most cost; keeping the layout saves the most.
Cabinets are usually the largest line item, so price them first.
Hold a 10–20% contingency, especially in older homes.
