RenoBinderRemodel budget calculator
Start with the number you can actually spend. We set aside a contingency first, then split the rest into categories using the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s published guidelines. It runs in your browser. Nothing is saved until you choose to save it.
Enter a total between $1,000 and $5,000,000 to see the split.
How this works
The split is the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s published allocation (Kitchen Planner and Bath Planner, ©2010). It’s a long-standing rule of thumb, not a survey of current prices. Shares: kitchen Cabinetry & hardware 29%, Installation 17%, Appliances & ventilation 14%, Countertops 10%, Flooring 7%, Lighting 5%, Walls & ceilings 5%, Design fees 4%, Doors & windows 4%, Faucets & plumbing 4%, Other 1%. Bath Installation 20%, Cabinetry & hardware (vanity) 16%, Fixtures 15%, Faucets & plumbing 14%, Flooring 9%, Countertops 7%, Walls & ceilings 5%, Lighting & ventilation 5%, Design fees 4%, Doors & windows 4%, Other 1%.
The contingency range comes from HUD’s FHA 203(k) program and NKBA. This isn’t a quote. Local labor rates change everything.
