One of my favorite local kitchen designers shares her kitchen renovation calculator! Love this!❤️

"How much does it cost to renovate a kitchen?"

A lot of people like to ask me about "averages" on kitchen renovations. Helping people have realistic budgets is part of good planning to know what you're getting into.

Here is a calculator from the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). I find it pretty close to being more realistic than most articles I've seen. But keep in mind, you could spend less or a lot more, depending on your tastes for nice things.

The NKBA recommends budgeting 15-20% of the value of your home.

For example:

$250,000 home = $37,000-$50,000 kitchen remodel budget

$500,000 home = $75,000-$100,000 kitchen remodel budget

Once your budget has been determined, cut it by at least 25 percent. Set that extra 25% aside as a cushion to make unexpected surprises much less stressful.

Cost Breakdown

The NKBA’s guide for an average kitchen remodel is as follows:

Cabinetry and Hardware: 29%
Installation: 17%
Appliances and Ventilation: 14%
Countertops: 10%
Flooring: 7%
Lighting: 5%
Walls and Ceilings: 5%
Design Fees: 4%
Doors and Windows: 4%
Faucets and Plumbing: 4%
Other: 1%
