Raised Panel Cabinet Door Calculator
Calculate the dimensions, materials, and cost for raised panel cabinet doors. Perfect for cabinet makers, carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts.
Step 1: Door Dimensions
Understanding Raised Panel Doors
Raised panel doors consist of a center panel that’s thicker than the edges, framed by horizontal rails and vertical stiles. The panel fits into grooves cut into the rails and stiles.
Step 2: Panel & Material Details
About Panel Construction
The raised panel should be sized to allow for expansion/contraction. Typically, leave 1/8″ to 1/4″ gap in the panel groove for seasonal movement, especially with solid wood panels.

Material Requirements & Cost
Material Calculation Formula
Door Width = Opening Width + (2 × Overlay)
Door Height = Opening Height + (2 × Overlay)
Panel Size = Door Size – (2 × Rail Width) + (2 × Panel Reveal)
Material is calculated in board feet (thickness in inches × width in inches × length in inches ÷ 144). Always add 10-15% extra material for waste and mistakes.
