#### Formula

Base Cost = Kitchen Size (sq ft) × Finish Rate ($/sq ft) × Regional Labor Multiplier

Fixed Component Cost = (Fixed Cost × 50% Labor Portion × Regional Multiplier) + (Fixed Cost × 50% Material Portion)

Subtotal = Adjusted Base Cost + Adjusted Cabinet Cost + Adjusted Countertop Cost + Appliance Cost + Adjusted Flooring Cost + Adjusted Upgrade Costs

Total = Subtotal × 1.10 (10% contingency reserve)

Estimated Range = Total × 0.85 to Total × 1.15

Finish rates: Budget $75/sq ft | Mid-Range $150/sq ft | High-End $300/sq ft | Luxury $500/sq ft
