Trying to save up money to redo my average sized kitchen. Would need new floors, cabinets, backsplash, sinks etc. The only thing I think I’m okay without replacing is the appliances.
How much should I budget if I’m hoping for a “mid range” remodel (not the cheapest but definitely not the most expensive or anywhere there)...
TIA

Such a vague question
So hard to answer
Where do you plan to purchase the things you need?

Wow. I guess I’m not redoing it any time soon then 😢. It’ll be a while until I have $50k+ saved up (my kitchen is not large though)

I have a normal sized kitchen and cabinets only we're $20,000. Not high end. You're doing backsplash, floors, sinks, it adds up.

I did some renovations in my house recently. I showed the handyman my kitchen. He said that he can put in an IKEA kitchen for under 10k (didnt discuss details, but I think it's just the cabinets and countertops)
My parents once did this for a tenant apartment. They put in a home depot kitchen. It was really nice.

An IKEA kitchen is a waste of money. It cannot withstand the wear and tear of a frum family.
Home depost sells regular brand kitchens, it's not cheap.

I put in a peach kitchen this yr. I had a small contractor do it. I told him I want the cheapest kitchen and somewhat decent quality. He got me a fabuwood kitchen. He claims that home Depot is by far not the cheapest.

I love my IKEA kitchen. You can do your kitchen with medium grade products for $20,000, including installation, from ikea. The quality is far superior to Home Depot.

It really depends. Are the cabinet boxes themselves okay? Can you just replace or refinish the doors? Will you need to move things around - walls, windows, doors, appliances (plumbing)? Is your floor in good structural condition, and can you just put a floating floor on top, or will you need to rip up and replace?
If the layout is fine, and the structural condition is fine, I.e. this is mainly cosmetic, you can probably figure out how to do it for $10,000-$15,000 or so. New cabinet doors and hardware, counters, sinks, backsplash tile, and floating click flooring can be done for not so much, and if you're willing to DIY part of it, even less.
It will cost much more as soon as you need to replace cabinets completely, rip up flooring and refinish the base, move plumbing or electricity, etc. If it is an old house it may be very expensive to bring things up to code.

There is no such thing as an average sized kitchen. What size is the room?

Right. Home depot carries high end kitchens. They also carry Fabuwood kitchens but for the same price as any other kitchen store.

Home depot carries many brands and different quality kitchens.

Why don’t you start shopping around there are fabiwood kitchens which are reasonable and also salko kitchens which are also reasonable.
Issues I’ve heard with Home Depot is that they don’t know kosher kitchens so it’s hard to work with them. Also regarding countertops there are places that are way cheaper then the regular some people travel out for that you really need to shop around

Don’t despair.
Everyone has different standards.
Check out some of these posts to see a more realistic budget 
It also depends on your location.
My kitchen was put in last year, some of the items were really high end, such as the backsplash, and it cost nowhere near 50k. It’s a small kitchen, though, but even if the kitchen would be double the size, it STILL wouldn’t be near 50k.

We spent about $15 K . Our kitchen is on the smaller side and we did not redo the floors or backsplash. We replaced the broken down cabinets and counters and made two sinks.

I put in a pesach kitchen this year. It cost me all together under 2K with the appliances. I put in cabinets both floor and wall, countertops, sink, and a stove.
DH is in a construction related field. He says he can do my on the larger size kitchen, for about 10k-15k.
Home Depot is definitely not cheap. My sister put in a nice size kitchen, Home Depot wanted 10K justfor cabinets. She went to another place and got the same quality cabinets for 4K. Her whole kitchen cost her 5.5 k including appliances.

This was helpful. I likely only need to replace the cabinet doors, the floors are fine and the layout etc is staying the same with two exceptions: there’s an empty space (about the width of a stove) that the previous owners stuck a keter cabinet in but I’d want to put regular cabinets (top and bottom) there. I also want to install an approximate six foot island WITH a sink (which I assume would require plumbing?)
I have around $25k saved up but it took me forever to accumulate it and I don’t really see adding much to it in the foreseeable future.
Is what I want to do possible on this budget?
