Countertop Replacement Cost Calculator
Estimate US countertop replacement costs by area, installed material, edge, layout, and selected cut-outs or project work.
How this estimate is calculated
The laminate installed rate is the area-based baseline; each material is a native per-square-foot difference from that baseline, avoiding duplicate material pricing. Edge and layout adjust the material subtotal. Removal scales with area, while cut-outs, splashback, plumbing and reinforcement are fixed project allowances.
This is a planning estimate, not a contractor quote. Actual contractor quotes vary by location, specification, site conditions, labour, and project requirements.
Useful cost information
Planning assumptions
- Cabinet replacement, kitchen units, appliances and a complete kitchen renovation are excluded.
- Template, fabrication and installation requirements vary by material and layout; use this as a planning range before obtaining measured quotes.
