Bathroom Remodel Cost Calculator
A full bathroom remodel costs about $6,000–$25,000 — roughly $150–$400 per square foot — depending on size, fixtures, and finish level. This bathroom remodel cost calculator estimates your project three ways: by fixture, by square footage, or by remodel scope.
Fixture figures are installed costs (fixture + plumber labor). Tile, electrical, and permits sit on top — the square-foot mode already bundles them.
Estimates only — not contractor quotes. Remodel prices vary widely by region, labor rates, and material choices. Get 2–3 local quotes before committing.
How the bathroom remodel cost calculator works
Bathrooms are priced three ways because no single rule fits every project. The fixture method prices what you actually buy — tub, shower, toilet, vanity — installed, at economy, midrange, or luxury finish levels.
The square-foot rule ($150–$400) bundles everything — tile, plumbing, electrical, permits — and is the fastest sanity check: a 40 sq ft bath lands around $6,000–$16,000.
Scope matters most of all. A partial refresh (new fixtures, paint, hardware) runs $3,000–$8,000; gutting to the studs runs $8,000–$20,000; moving plumbing adds roughly 15% because drain and supply lines get rerouted.
cost = Σ fixtures × tier rate · low = base × 0.85, high = base × 1.2 · sq ft cost = area × rate

Bathroom remodel cost calculator FAQ
How much does a full bathroom remodel cost?
About $6,000–$25,000 for a typical full bath. A 40 sq ft bathroom at the common $150–$400 per sq ft range lands around $6,000–$16,000; luxury finishes, layout changes, and high-cost regions push past $25,000.
What is the average cost per square foot for a bathroom remodel?
Roughly $150–$400 per square foot installed, covering fixtures, tile, plumbing, electrical, and labor. Small powder rooms skew higher per square foot because fixed costs (plumber visit, permits) spread over less area.
What is the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel?
Tile work and plumbing labor, in that order. Tiled shower surrounds and floor tile are labor-heavy, and any drain relocation adds $500–$1,500 per fixture moved. The fixtures themselves are usually under a third of the total.
Is it cheaper to reface or replace a bathroom vanity?
Refacing (new doors and drawer fronts on the existing box) costs 30–50% less than a full replacement. Replace only if the cabinet box is water-damaged or you are changing the layout.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Two to four weeks for a standard full remodel once work starts — a week for demolition and rough plumbing/electrical, a week for tile and drywall, and a week for fixtures and finishing. Custom tile and backordered fixtures stretch the timeline.
Does a bathroom remodel add home value?
Yes — a midrange bathroom remodel typically recoups around 60% of its cost at resale, and an updated bath is one of the strongest selling points for buyers. Luxury remodels recoup a smaller share.
Full vs partial bathroom remodel — which is worth it?
A partial refresh ($3,000–$8,000: new fixtures, paint, hardware, mirror) is the best value if the layout and tile are sound. Go full ($8,000–$20,000) when plumbing is old, tile is failing, or the layout wastes space — that is where the real functional gain lives.
