Kitchen renovation costs vary widely according to kitchen size, cabinetry, benchtops, appliances, finishes and whether plumbing, electrical services or walls need to be moved.
Budget Kitchen
$15,000 – $25,000Best suited to smaller kitchens, simpler cabinetry, cost-conscious materials and projects where the existing layout and services can largely remain in place.
Standard Kitchen
$25,000 – $40,000A comprehensive renovation with new cabinetry, benchtops, trades and mid-range finishes, with scope for selected appliance and storage upgrades.
Premium Kitchen
$40,000 – $65,000+Larger kitchens with bespoke cabinetry, premium surfaces, high-end appliances, detailed joinery and potentially substantial layout changes.
What Affects Kitchen Renovation Costs?
Cabinetry
Cabinet quantity, internal storage, door finishes and custom joinery can represent a substantial part of the kitchen budget.
Benchtops
Laminate can keep costs lower, while premium stone and other specialty surfaces can significantly increase the budget.
Appliances
Ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, refrigerators and dishwashers vary substantially between entry-level and premium ranges.
Layout Changes
Moving sinks, appliances, electrical circuits or walls can increase plumbing, electrical, building and finishing costs.
How the Kitchen Renovation Estimate Works
The HomeAdvice calculator starts with an indicative Australian kitchen renovation range according to renovation level, then adjusts that range for kitchen size, layout changes and selected upgrades.
The base estimate is intended to represent the core kitchen renovation rather than every possible upgrade. Features such as premium benchtops, custom cabinetry, a kitchen island, new flooring and appliance packages are added separately where selected.
