Bathroom Renovation Cost Calculator
Build a bathroom remodel midpoint from room type, scope, vanity, wet-area work, tile, flooring, and whether plumbing moves — then scale by state. Click any i for detail.
Your bathroom
Bathroom type
i
Bathroom type
Sets footprint and labor overhead — powder room vs standard full bath vs primary / spa-sized baths. |
|
|---|---|
Remodel scope
i
Remodel scope
Scales labor and finish lines. Refresh is cosmetic; mid-range replaces finishes in place; gut assumes deeper demo. |
|
Vanity
i
Vanity
Stock single vanities are common; custom or double vanities cost more. |

Tub / shower

Tub / shower
Surround refreshes are cheaper than walk-in conversions or luxury shower/tub packages. |

Wall tile level

Wall tile level
Covers wet-wall / surround tile area estimated from room size. |

Flooring
i
Flooring
Floor finish across the bathroom footprint for the selected room type. |

Moving a toilet, vanity drain, or shower valve is a common budget breaker — toggle only if fixtures are relocating. |

Your state
Scales midpoints for typical state-level costs versus the U.S. average — not a local remodeler bid. |
How to use this calculator
- Choose bathroom type (powder, full, primary, or large).
- Set remodel scope — refresh, mid-range, or gut.
- Pick vanity, tub/shower, tile, and flooring levels.
- Say whether plumbing stays put or fixtures move.
- Pick your state and review the itemized total.
Results explained
The headline is an itemized midpoint: labor overhead, vanity, wet-area work, tile, flooring, and plumbing moves, with scope scaling applied to finish/labor lines.
Quick reference: bathroom building blocks
U.S.-average midpoints before state and scope scaling.
| Choice | Model midpoint |
|---|---|
| Standard full bath labor | $4,500 |
| Stock vanity + top | $1,200 |
| New tub/shower surround | $2,800 |
| Walk-in shower conversion | $5,500 |
| Mid-range wall tile | ~$28 / sq ft |
| Move toilet/vanity/shower | $4,500 |
| Gut scope multiplier | ×1.45 |
Wall tile area ≈ 1.8 × room sq ft in this model. Refresh ×0.70 · mid ×1.00 · gut ×1.45 on finish/labor lines.
How the estimate is built
Room type sets footprint and labor overhead. Vanity, wet-area, tile, and flooring midpoints stack on top. Scope multiplies those finish/labor lines. Plumbing moves add a flat allowance. The full stack is then scaled by your state.
Example scenario
A standard full bath, mid-range scope, stock vanity, new surround, mid tile, and tile floor with no plumbing moves at U.S. average pricing typically lands around the mid-to-high teens of thousands in this model — more with a walk-in conversion or gut scope.
FAQ
Powder room vs full bath?
Powder rooms skip a full wet-area rebuild more often — pick powder room and a lighter tub/shower option (or keep) for a fairer comparison.
Are fixtures like toilets and faucets included?
Roughly inside labor/finish midpoints at builder-to-mid quality. Designer fixture packages can add more.
What about water damage?
Not fully modeled. Soft subfloors or mold behind walls need a separate remediation / repair budget.
