The calculator applies illustrative per-square-foot rates by closet configuration, scales with finish and storage package quality, adds lighting allowances and demo-related costs, and applies a regional labor multiplier. The total is split across cabinetry and materials, installation labor, and permits or fees. Structural engineering, premium hardware lines, and mirrored doors are generalized rather than itemized line-by-line.
