Cabinet Cost Calculator
Cabinetry is sold by the linear foot. Ten minutes with a tape measure turns every price guide, including this one, into a number that applies to your actual kitchen.
Estimate your cabinetry range
Pick what you are pricing. Where published cost data exists we will show an installed range; where it does not we will tell you what drives the number instead of guessing.
Cabinetry and installation only. Countertops, appliances, flooring, and backsplash are separate. This is a planning range built from published 2026 pricing, not a quote. A fixed written price follows the free on-site measure.
How to measure, in ten minutes
Cabinetry is sold by the linear foot, and the same method works whether you are measuring a kitchen, a closet wall, or a built-in run.
Measure the walls that carry cabinets
In inches, corner to corner. Only the walls with cabinetry on them.
Do not count uppers and bases separately
A wall with 12 feet of base cabinets and 12 feet of uppers is 12 linear feet, not 24.
Add the island separately
Measure the run of cabinetry around its perimeter.
Subtract the appliance gaps
A 36 inch refrigerator opening and a 30 inch range are not cabinetry. Take them out.
Divide by twelve
That is your linear footage. Put it into the calculator above. For a closet, measure the wall carrying the hanging and shelving rather than the floor area of the room.
What the tiers mean
| Tier | Installed per linear foot | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | $100 to $400 | Off the shelf sizes in three inch increments. Filler strips close whatever is left over |
| Semi-custom | $150 to $700 | A catalogue with real choice over door style, finish, and interior fittings, still in fixed increments |
| Custom | $500 to $1,200 | Built to your measured openings, any configuration, wall to wall with no fillers |
| Refacing | $100 to $250 | Your existing boxes stay. New doors, drawer fronts, veneer, and hardware |
What this number does not include
Cabinetry and installation only. Countertops, appliances, flooring, backsplash, plumbing, and electrical are separate lines on a real quote. If you are budgeting a whole room, see our kitchen remodeling page, and if you are deciding between keeping and replacing your boxes, the cabinet refacing page covers that trade off.
Why this is a range and not a quote
Two kitchens at the same linear footage can differ by a factor of two. Door style, finish, box construction, interior fittings, and how square your walls are all move the number, and none of them can be read off a tape measure. Clovis Custom Cabinets gives you a fixed written price after a free on-site measure, with a written lead time, before any deposit. The calculator is for working out whether to start the conversation.
