The cost of a modular kitchen depends on size, materials, finishes, appliances, and customization. Hereโs a step-by-step guide to calculating your kitchen cost.
Step 1: Measure Your Kitchen Size
๐ Formula: Kitchen cost is usually calculated per square foot (sq. ft.)
๐น Example: A 10×12 ft. kitchen = 120 sq. ft.
๐น Base price per sq. ft. varies based on materials and finishes
Step 2: Choose the Kitchen Layout
๐ก Different layouts impact cost based on cabinetry & storage needs:
- Straight Kitchen โ Least expensive
- L-Shaped Kitchen โ Moderate cost
- U-Shaped Kitchen โ Higher cost
- Island Kitchen โ Most expensive
Step 3: Breakdown of Cost Components
Component | Estimated Cost Range (โน per sq. ft.) |
---|---|
Base & Wall Cabinets | โน1,200 โ โน3,500 |
Countertop (Granite/Quartz/Marble) | โน300 โ โน2,000 |
Backsplash (Tiles/Glass/Marble) | โน100 โ โน600 |
Hardware & Accessories | โน500 โ โน1,500 |
Appliances (Chimney, Hob, Oven, etc.) | โน500 โ โน2,500 |
Installation & Labor | โน200 โ โน600 |
โ
Example Calculation for a 120 sq. ft. Kitchen (Mid-Range Budget):
๐น Cabinets: โน2,500 x 120 = โน3,00,000
๐น Countertop: โน1,200 x 120 = โน1,44,000
๐น Backsplash: โน400 x 120 = โน48,000
๐น Hardware & Accessories: โน1,000 x 120 = โน1,20,000
๐น Appliances: โน1,500 x 120 = โน1,80,000
๐น Labor & Installation: โน500 x 120 = โน60,000
๐ฐ Total Estimate: โน8,52,000
Step 4: Factors That Affect Cost
โ Materials Used โ MDF (cheaper) vs. Marine Plywood (costly)
โ Finishes โ Laminate (affordable) vs. Acrylic/PU (premium)
โ Countertop Choices โ Granite (budget) vs. Quartz/Marble (luxury)
