Kitchen Remodel Cost
What This Calculator Does
The Kitchen Remodel Cost Calculator estimates the cost of a kitchen renovation based on kitchen size, remodel scope, and 2026 US national average contractor rates. Select your kitchen size and remodel level to get an instant cost range.
Kitchen remodels typically offer a 60-80% return on investment at resale and are the most common major home renovation project in the US. The scope of work dramatically affects cost - a minor refresh (countertops, paint, hardware) costs a fraction of a full gut renovation with new cabinets, appliances, and layout changes.
How to Use
- Measure your kitchen floor area in square feet (length x width).
- Select the remodel scope: minor (cosmetic only), mid-range (new cabinets, counters, appliances), or major (full gut renovation with layout changes).
- Click "Calculate" to see the estimated cost range.
- Review the breakdown by category (cabinets, countertops, appliances, labor).
- Add 15-20% contingency for unexpected issues in older homes.
