MacBook screen repair cost calculator
Pick your MacBook and see what a screen replacement costs: the AppleCare+ fee, Apple's own price for the genuine display, the do-it-yourself total, and the cheaper route if only part of your screen is damaged. Prices come from Apple, checked 13 October 2026.
Where these prices come from
- AppleCare+: Apple's published fee for screen damage in each country, from Apple's repair price page.
- Genuine display: what Apple's Self Service Repair store charges for the complete display assembly for your model. Apple's own repair uses the same part and adds labour, so expect Apple's quote to be at least this much. Prices include VAT in the UK, Sweden, Norway and the euro countries. France, Spain and Italy are worked out with their own VAT, the other euro countries with German VAT, so they can differ by a few euros. US and Canadian prices are before sales tax.
- Do it yourself: the same part, minus the credit Apple gives when you return the old display, plus the tool kit rental, which is $49 a week in the US.
- Independent shops: often 20 to 35 percent below Apple, usually with non-Apple or used parts. Quality varies, so ask what part they'll fit.
Older Intel models aren't in Apple's parts store, so the calculator can't price them. Ask Apple or a shop for a quote. Our full guide to screen replacement costs covers how long repairs take, and whether AppleCare covers a cracked screen.
Is the repair worth it?
- Worth it: a newer Mac you rely on, or any Mac with AppleCare+.
- Think twice: an older Mac where the repair costs most of what it's worth. Here's how to decide between fixing and selling.
- Maybe not needed: damage along one edge with the rest of the screen fine. You can block off the broken part and keep using the rest.
Questions
How much does it cost to replace a MacBook screen?
With AppleCare+, Apple charges a fixed fee for screen damage: $99 in the US, $49 for a MacBook Neo. Without it, the genuine display alone costs from $307 for a MacBook Neo and $395 for an M1 MacBook Air up to $879 for a 16-inch MacBook Pro with nano-texture glass, at Apple's own parts prices. Apple's repair adds labour on top.
Is it cheaper to replace a MacBook screen yourself?
A little. Apple's Self Service Repair store sells the same display Apple uses, refunds part of the price when you send the old one back, and rents the tools. It's a demanding repair, though. One slip can damage the new display or the Mac.
Does AppleCare+ cover a cracked MacBook screen?
Yes. Accidental damage, including a cracked or broken screen, is covered for a fixed fee per incident. Without AppleCare+, the standard warranty doesn't cover accidental damage.
Is a MacBook screen repair worth it?
Usually yes for a newer Mac you rely on, and always with AppleCare+. For an older Mac the repair can cost more than the Mac is worth. If only part of the screen is damaged, you can often keep using the rest instead.
Only part of the screen damaged?
A strip of dead glass is a smaller screen, not a broken Mac. CrackMac paints the damaged strip black and keeps windows, the menu bar and the pointer on the part that works, for a small one-time price instead of a new display.
