Minor, mid-range or major

A minor refresh repaints, refaces cabinets and updates fixtures; a mid-range remodel replaces cabinets, counters and appliances; a major/luxury remodel changes the layout and uses premium materials. Cabinets and counters are the biggest line items.

How it’s calculated & sources

Cost = kitchen area × per-sq-ft rate for the scope. Estimates are then scaled by a regional construction-cost factor for your area (U.S. average = 1.00).

Cost ranges from 2025–26 national home-improvement data (HomeAdvisor, Angi, Fixr and industry guides); regional factors approximate RS Means-style city cost indices. National average kitchen remodel \u2248 $27,000 \u2014 minor $15\u201325k, mid $25\u201350k, major $50\u2013100k+.

Results update as you type and are estimates, not a quote — site conditions, permits, and finishes move the final number. Verify with local pros.

Worked example

A 120 sq ft mid-range kitchen runs about $22,000 nationally (~$185/sq ft).
