Kitchen Remodel Cost Estimator
Ballpark total cost by kitchen size, tier, and what's included.
How this is calculated
We apply a per-square-foot cost range for your chosen tier, then allocate that total across the categories you select (cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring), plus labor and permits.
Typical cost ranges
A budget cosmetic refresh (paint, hardware, minor fixture swaps) usually runs $75–150 per sq ft. A true mid-range remodel with new cabinets, counters, and appliances lands around $150–300 per sq ft. High-end projects involving layout changes, custom cabinetry, and premium finishes can exceed $300–600 per sq ft.
What can change the price
Moving plumbing or electrical, structural changes (removing walls), and custom cabinetry are the biggest cost drivers beyond this baseline. Get 2–3 contractor quotes once you've settled on scope.
