About this tool
What the Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel Calculator does
A remodel budget is the sum of its parts: cabinets, worktops, appliances or fixtures, flooring, lighting, plumbing and electrical work, plus labour. Listing each item and adding a contingency gives a far more reliable budget than a single headline figure.
It also works as a kitchen bath remodel calculator or a kitchen remodel cost calculator.
Formula
- Items = sum of line items
- Labour = items × labour %
- Total = (items + labour + permits) × (1 + contingency)
Worked example
Using the starting values in the calculator above:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Room area | 150 sq ft |
| Line items | 9 entries |
| Installation labour | 35% |
| Permits and design | $1,500 |
| Contingency | 15% |
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Total remodel budget | $45,971 |
| Cost per sq ft | $306 |
| Materials and items | $28,500 |
| Labour | $9,975 |
| Contingency | $5,996 |
How to read the result
Moving plumbing, gas or walls adds significant cost; keeping the existing layout is the biggest single saving.
Order long-lead items such as cabinets and worktops early; delays usually cost more than the items.
