Modular Kitchen Cost Calculator — Priced Like a Real Quotation
Every component a kitchen quotation actually contains, priced separately: cabinets per sft by ply and finish, Hettich/Hafele accessories at street prices, countertop, sink, appliances, handles — so you can read any vendor quote line by line and know exactly where the margin sits.
Essential
₹1.7 – 2.9 lakh
Standard
₹2.9 – 4.9 lakh
Premium
₹5.3 – 9.8 lakh
For a typical configuration — adjust every parameter below. Indicative, confirmed after site assessment.
- Written scope & quotation before any commitment
- One accountable coordinator, start to finish
- Screened execution professionals
- Stage-by-stage payments, reviewed before the next stage
- We never sell your requirement to contractors
A kitchen quotation has eight real components: cabinet woodwork (quoted per sft of front area — the rate that moves with ply grade and shutter finish), internal accessories (where Hettich/Hafele brand names carry fat MRPs that street prices undercut by 25–35%), countertop stone, backsplash, sink and faucet, appliances, handles or Gola profiles, and the pelmet. Vendors bundle these into one number; this calculator prices each one so nothing hides.
The rates here are transacted values — what customers actually pay after the standard 25–30% discount theatre at branded studios — several verified against a real Bengaluru interior quotation. Set your counter run (a 10×10 L-shaped kitchen is roughly 18 rft), pick your tier, and read the same line items you will see on any serious quote.

Where can I save?
Never pay hardware MRP
5–10%Hettich/Hafele items street-price 25–35% under MRP (an Atira set with an ₹8,000 quote line sells at ₹3,900–7,100). Ask for the accessory list priced item by item — this line alone often recovers ₹15–25k.
Marine ply where water lives, MR ply above
4–8%BWP/marine carcass for base units (they meet water), MR ply for wall units (they never do) — the spec good vendors use anyway, at ₹200–400/sft less than marine-everywhere quotes.
Laminate carcass, premium shutters
8–15%The finish you touch and see is the shutter. Acrylic/PU shutters on a laminate-lined carcass is visually identical to premium-everything at a meaningfully lower rate.
Buy appliances yourself in the sales
₹8–25kChimney-hob combos are heavily discounted online (a ₹31,990 Bosch chimney at ₹22,549 is typical). Vendors mark appliances up; carve them out of the quote.

What moves this cost most
- Counter run — every rft adds ~4.5 sft of cabinet front at full rate
- Shutter finish — laminate → acrylic → PU roughly doubles the woodwork line each step
- Accessories ambition — the Hettich list is where showroom quotes quietly swell
- Stone choice — granite to imported quartz triples the counter line
Commonly excluded from quotes
- Civil, plumbing and electrical relocation (hob/chimney/sink points) — every vendor excludes these
- Appliances beyond chimney + hob: oven, dishwasher, refrigerator
- Flooring and wall painting of the kitchen
- Water purifier and its plumbing
Hidden costs to budget for
- Counter stone and backsplash "as per actuals" clauses — pin the rate per sft before signing
- Electrical points for appliances (each new point ₹650–1,150)
- Gas piping compliance if moving the hob position
- The list-price discount game — 25–30% negotiation room is standard at branded studios
Common questions
What does a modular kitchen cost in Bengaluru in 2026?
An 18-rft L-shaped kitchen computes ₹2.9–4.9 lakh at Standard tier all-in on this model — cabinets, Hettich accessories, granite/quartz counter, sink, chimney and hob, GST included. Essential runs ₹1.7–2.9 lakh; Premium ₹5.3–9.8 lakh. Per-sft-only quotes cover just the cabinet line, roughly half the real total.
What is the per-sqft rate for modular kitchens?
Cabinet woodwork transacts at ₹900–1,300/sft (MR ply + laminate), ₹1,300–1,800 (marine ply + laminate with soft-close) and ₹2,200–3,400 (acrylic/PU) of shutter/front area in Bengaluru. Everything else — counter, accessories, appliances — is priced per item on top.
Why did my branded-studio quote come 40% higher than this?
Two reasons: list-price theatre (25–30% standard discount hides in the first number) and hardware at MRP. Take their quote, apply this page’s line structure, and ask for item-wise pricing — the gap explains itself.
Is HDHMR better than plywood?
For routed/membrane and PU shutter designs, HDHMR machines beautifully and resists moisture well at a similar or lower price than BWP ply. For carcasses, marine ply still rules base units. Good vendors mix both — by function, not slogan.
