How to use this calculator
- Enter total cabinet linear feet for the kitchen.
- Choose stock, semi-custom, or custom installed pricing.
- Add soft-close, hardware, and island extras as needed.
- Select your state and review the installed midpoint.
Results explained
Installed $/linear ft × run length is the base (labor included). Soft-close and hardware scale with linear feet; the island is a flat add-on.
Quick reference: kitchen cabinet midpoints
Installed U.S.-average midpoints before the selected state adjustment.
| Scope | Midpoint |
|---|---|
| Stock installed | $250/lf |
| Semi-custom installed (default) | $450/lf |
| Custom installed | $800/lf |
| Soft-close upgrade | +$35/lf |

| Island extra | $2,200 flat |
Rates are planning midpoints; difficult access, repairs, and minimum job charges can shift quotes.
How the estimate is built
Total ≈ (linear ft × tier $/lf) + Σ(per-lf options × lf) + island flat, then × state multiplier. Countertops and appliances are separate.
Example scenario
A 30 lf semi-custom kitchen with hardware is about $14,250 at U.S. average ($450 × 30 + $25 × 30).
FAQ
Are countertops included?
No. Pair this with a quartz or laminate estimate for a fuller remodel budget.
Is install labor in the rate?
Yes—these midpoints assume typical installed cabinet pricing, not box-only online SKUs.
How should I count an island?
Keep wall runs in linear feet and toggle the island flat, or ask your designer for a separate island linear measure.
