This tool calculates the estimated cost of installing kitchen cabinets based on your input.
How It Works
The Kitchen Cabinet Installation Cost Calculator computes the total cost based on the number of cabinets, the dimensions of each cabinet, the quality of materials used, and the installation rate. Here’s a breakdown of the fields you need to fill in:
- Number of Cabinets: Enter the total number of cabinets you plan to install.
- Cabinet Width, Height, and Depth: Enter the dimensions of each cabinet in inches.
- Material Quality: Choose the quality of material for the cabinets. Higher quality materials cost more per square foot.

How to Use
- Enter all the required details in the respective fields of the form.
- Click on the “Calculate” button to compute the total installation cost.
- The result will be displayed in the “Result” field.
Calculation Method
The calculator uses the following method to compute the total cost:
- Calculate the surface area of one cabinet (2*Height*Width + 2*Height*Depth + Bottom*Width*Depth, in square feet).
- Multiply the surface area by the material cost per square foot.
- Multiply the result by the number of cabinets to get the total material cost.
- Multiply the installation rate per cabinet by the number of cabinets to get the total installation cost.
- Add the total material cost and the total installation cost to get the final cost.
Limitations
- This calculator assumes that all cabinets are of the same size.
- The material costs are estimates and may vary based on the market rates and supplier pricing.
- The installation rate is assumed to be uniform for all cabinets.
