Answer a few quick questions and get an instant, line-itemed cost breakdown for your kitchen or bathroom remodel.
How do you decide what to include and what’s going to cost more than you expect?
If you’re starting to plan a remodel in Tallahassee, you’re probably wondering what a realistic budget looks like, and how to avoid surprises down the road.
That’s exactly what this calculator helps you figure out. In about 5 minutes, you’ll get an instant, line-itemed budget range based on actual past projects in our area, so you can stop guessing and start planning.
Everything… design, material selections, labor costs, permits, pre-construction planning, project management and our 5 year warranty are all included. No hidden costs, no surprises.
Cost ranges are based on real average costs from 100+ completed McManus Kitchen & Bath projects in Tallahassee. They are not as accurate as our Design and budget consult, but they are a good starting point.
Our kitchen and bath planner
While the calculator estimates costs, the planners help you explore layout ideas, material preferences, and long-term value.
It will help you create an initial scope of work you can share with the contractors who are giving you estimates. We use the planner to help guide our initial phone call and design consult.
The remodeling budget calculator is a great place to start but our Design and Budget Consult is the best way to dig into the details and plan a successful project.
We’ll visit your home to get accurate measurements and then create 3D concept drawings and a detailed estimate with ‘good-better-best’ options. Then we will meet in our showroom to review everything so you can ask questions and make changes.
It’s the next step in planning your project.
Remodeling your home is exciting—but let’s be honest, it can also feel overwhelming when it comes to costs. You’re dreaming in tile samples and floorplans… but wondering if your budget can keep up.
That’s where a remodel budget calculator comes in handy.
Or, if you prefer, a remodel cost calculator. (They’re the same thing—just like soda vs. pop. Whichever term floats your boat, we’re here to talk real numbers.)
Whether you’re remodeling a bathroom, kitchen, or your whole home, this tool helps you estimate costs before you get too deep into demo.
A remodel budget calculator (sometimes called a cost calculator) is a tool that helps you figure out how much your renovation might cost based on:
The room or area you’re remodeling
The size and scope of your project
Material and finish levels
Labor costs and local pricing
With a few inputs, you get a ballpark budget. It’s not a final quote—but it’s way better than guessing or crossing your fingers.
No one likes sticker shock halfway through a remodel. Using a calculator helps you:
Know what’s possible in your price range.
Catch hidden costs before they catch you.
A full kitchen gut vs. a simple refresh.
Walk into meetings informed.
Even the best remodel budget calculator can’t predict every twist, but it gives you a reliable range. Here’s what impacts your total cost:
A powder room facelift = ~$8,000
A full master bath overhaul = ~$35,000+
Kitchen updates range from $25K to $100K+
The more you move plumbing or change layouts, the higher the cost.
Standard vs. custom cabinets
Laminate counters vs. quartz or marble
Vinyl flooring vs. real hardwood
Your style impacts your spend.
Skilled trades come at a cost, but good work pays off long term. Hiring a design-build firm like McManus Kitchen and Bath means:
Transparent pricing
Professional design help
Licensed contractors who do it right
Depending on the job, you may need:
Building permits
Electrical/plumbing inspections
HOA or historic district approvals
Those extras can add anywhere from $500 to $5,000+.
