The 30-40-20-10 Rule for Kitchen Remodel Budgets | Why $30K Cabinets Aren’t Enough in 2026

Before You Build — design-build conversations with Ariana + Brandon from ARIID Build & Remodel in Kirkland, WA.

If you have a $100,000 kitchen remodel budget, where does the money actually go?

In this episode, we break down the 30-40-20-10 renovation rule:

• 30% Cabinetry
• 40% Construction & Labor
• 20% Fixtures & Finishes
• 10% Contingency

That means a $100K kitchen leaves roughly $30,000 for cabinets — and in today’s market, that’s tight. For a small L-shaped kitchen with semi-custom cabinetry, it might work. But once you add an island, slab materials, appliances, plumbing, electrical, and finishes, the numbers shift quickly.

This conversation is about setting realistic expectations and understanding how budget allocation truly works in modern remodeling.

At ARIID BUILD, we believe transparent budget conversations protect both the design and the investment.
