Bathroom Remodel Cost Calculator

This bathroom remodel cost calculator scales the national range to your prices and totals a line-item budget; see our bathroom remodeling guide. Start from the national bathroom remodel range of $6,456–$24,715 (average $15,586, updated February 2026), scale it to your area, and build a line-item budget from your own quotes. Moving plumbing, replacing a tub with a curbless shower and high-end tile push costs toward — or beyond — the top of the range.

Results from this calculator are planning estimates; confirm quantities and prices with your supplier or contractor before you order.

Tips for using the bathroom remodel cost calculator

  • Relocating the toilet or shower drain is one of the biggest cost drivers.
  • Waterproofing and ventilation are worth paying for; failures are expensive to fix.
  • In co-ops and condos, include board fees and approved-contractor requirements.
  • Order fixtures, tile and vanities early; long lead times are a common cause of delays, and a bathroom that sits half-finished can disrupt a household for weeks. Confirm sizes before demolition starts, and keep fixtures in their boxes until install day so nothing gets damaged on site.
