Kitchen Remodel Cost Calculator

Most kitchen remodels cost about $150 to $250 per square foot, so a typical 10×10 (100 sq ft) kitchen runs roughly $15,000–$25,000 at a midrange finish. A budget refresh can come in under $15,000, while a high-end renovation with custom cabinets and luxury finishes can exceed $50,000. Enter your size, finish level, and ZIP above for a local range.

It depends on the finish level. A budget refresh is usually paint, cabinet refacing, new hardware, and maybe a countertop. A midrange remodel adds new semi-custom cabinets, countertops, appliances, and flooring. A high-end remodel means custom cabinetry, premium stone or luxury surfaces, high-end appliances, and often a new layout.

Relocating a sink, range, or refrigerator means moving plumbing, gas, or electrical lines — which brings extra rough-in labor, drywall patching, and inspections. That is why "major layout change" carries a meaningfully higher cost per square foot than keeping everything where it is.

Cabinets are usually the single largest line item — often 25–35% of the budget — followed by countertops, appliances, and labor. That is why refacing existing cabinets instead of replacing them is one of the biggest ways to cut cost.

Yes. These are all-in figures — materials plus professional labor for demo, installation, plumbing, and electrical. Real quotes vary with your local labor rates, the specific products you choose, and any surprises found once demo starts, so treat this as a planning range.

A cosmetic refresh can land near $10,000 in many areas: paint, hardware, a new countertop, and refinishing or re-facing the existing cabinet boxes rather than replacing them. A full gut with new cabinets and appliances usually runs well above that. Adjust the scope inputs above to see where your plan lands.

A cosmetic update runs a couple of weeks; a full remodel with new cabinets and some layout change is commonly 6 to 12 weeks including design, ordering, and inspections. Custom cabinets and permit timelines are the usual causes of delay.

A midrange kitchen remodel typically recoups roughly 40 to 70 percent of its cost at resale, and an updated kitchen is one of the biggest draws for buyers. Over-improving beyond your neighborhood is the main way to lose money, so match the finish level to nearby homes.
