Quartz countertops cost $50 to $200 per square foot installed, or $1,500 to $8,000 for an average kitchen (30 to 40 sq ft).¹² Averages land at $3,500 (Fixr) to $4,500 (Angi).¹³ Prices below are national averages* for 2026.

*National averages, not local quotes. Your price depends on square footage, quartz grade, edge profile, and cutouts.

Quick math: 40 sq ft at $50 to $200 per foot = $2,000 to $8,000, inside HomeGuide’s $1,500 to $8,000 kitchen band, our arithmetic.² All three sources print the same $50 to $200 per-foot range; the averages differ with project size and mix, our reading. Fixr also prints $2,500 as an average in one FAQ answer, so we use its headline $3,500.³

Cost by quartz grade (Angi)

Grade	Per sq ft	Character
Second choice (builder)	$50 – $60	Standard, most resin (12%+)
Commercial grade	$60 – $80	Mid-quality, 8 to 11% resin
First choice	$80 – $100+	Richest color, least resin (7 to 8%)

Brand pricing follows the same curve: Caesarstone runs $50 to $100 per sq ft and Cambria $60 to $125 installed (HomeGuide).²

Where the money goes

Item	Cost	Source
Material + install	$50 – $200 per sq ft	All three sources
Fabrication and install labor	$10 – $35 per sq ft	HomeGuide / Fixr
Edge profiles	$5 – $60 per sq ft (Angi)	Angi
Matching backsplash	$15 – $40 per sq ft	Fixr
Sink installation	$330 – $1,300	HomeGuide
Faucet installation	$120 – $250	HomeGuide

Labor alone is 15% to 50% of the total (Fixr). Complex layouts and multiple cutouts push toward the top of that band.³
