Never Compare Quotes Solely on Running-Foot Rate: Vendors frequently quote a lower base running-foot rate by excluding tandem drawers, soft-close hinges, countertop cutting, and GST. Always demand an itemized bill of materials (BOM).

This calculator provides an indicative modular kitchen budget based on the running feet, material rates and optional costs entered. Actual kitchen costs vary based on layout, cabinet dimensions, board material and thickness, finish, hardware, accessories, countertop material, appliances, installation complexity, site conditions, taxes and vendor pricing. Always compare the detailed scope of work and final quotation before making a purchase decision.

How to Calculate Modular Kitchen Cost

Calculating the true budget for a modular kitchen requires evaluating cabinet structure, shutter finishes, countertop slabs, hardware accessories, labour charges, and appliances.

Step 1

Calculate Cabinet Cost

Multiply Total Running Feet by Cabinet Rate per running ft (Plywood / HDHMR).

Step 2

Add Shutter & Countertop

Add separate finish charges (if applicable) and countertop slab material cost (Sq. Ft. × Rate).

Step 3

Add Hardware & Appliances

Include soft-close tandem drawers, pantry pull-outs, hob, chimney, oven, and installation labour.

Step 4

Add Contingency & Taxes

Apply 5% contingency buffer and applicable GST to derive the final all-in budget.
