Kitchen remodel cost: small, mid-size and large kitchens, every line stated, by state
A 12 by 14 kitchen: about $14,900 to $17,800, typically $15,800. That's the old kitchen out and a new one in: base and wall cabinets, quartz countertops, a sink and faucet, a vinyl plank floor and the walls painted, plus the contractor's overhead, profit and sales tax. Appliances, a backsplash, lighting and moving plumbing are extra.

What it costs
| Job | Cost |
|---|---|
| A 10 by 10 kitchen | $9,600 to $11,400 |
| A 12 by 14 kitchen | $14,900 to $17,800 |
| A 14 by 18 kitchen | $21,500 to $25,750 |
Totals include the contractor's overhead and profit (20%) and the state's average sales tax. Prices as of November 2026.
What’s in these numbers
Each total is a typical job, priced the way a contractor’s estimate is priced:
| 10 by 10 kitchen | 12 by 14 kitchen | 14 by 18 kitchen | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base cabinets | 10 ft | 16 ft | 24 ft |
| Wall cabinets | 8 ft | 14 ft | 20 ft |
| Quartz countertops | 22 sq ft | 35 sq ft | 53 sq ft |
| Sink and faucet | One of each | One of each | One of each |
| Vinyl plank floor | 100 sq ft | 168 sq ft | 252 sq ft |
| Walls painted | Two coats | Two coats | Two coats |
The old cabinets, tops, sink and floor come out first. On top of the work:
- Overhead and profit: 20%, the standard markup on a contractor’s estimate.
- Sales tax on the materials, at the state’s average rate.
Not in them: appliances, a backsplash, an island, new lighting or circuits, moving the sink or gas line, drywall repair, and permits.
What moves the price
- Cabinets. Custom and high-grade cabinets cost more by the foot. The kitchen cabinet cost guide prices them alone.
- Countertops. Granite, marble and quartz are priced by the square foot; laminate costs less. The countertop installation cost guide puts the three side by side.
- Layout. Moving the sink, range or a wall means new plumbing, gas or framing.
- Appliances. They’re bought separately, on top of these totals.
- Where you live. Pick your state in the box above.
