- Choose replace, new hookup, or complex/relocate.
- Toggle haul-away and hardwire if needed.
- Pick your state and review the range.
Results explained
Install type × count is the labor base. Haul-away and hardwire are flat adders, then everything scales with the state multiplier. The dishwasher purchase price is not included.
Quick reference: dishwasher labor
Installed labor midpoints before state adjustment (appliance excluded).
| Scope | Midpoint |
|---|---|
| Replace existing | $275 |
| New install / first hookup | $475 |
| Complex / relocate | $750 |
| Haul-away | $75 flat |
| Hardwire conversion | $150 flat |
Minimum service calls and after-hours rates can exceed these midpoints.
How the estimate is built
Total ≈ (installs × type rate) + optional flats, then × state multiplier.
Example scenario
One replace job with haul-away is about $350 at U.S. average ($275 + $75) before state scaling.
FAQ
Is the dishwasher included?
No — this is labor/hookup only. Add the appliance retail or delivery price separately.
Corded vs hardwired?
Many codes allow a cord kit; hardwire conversion is for homes that need a junction box instead of a receptacle.
Do I need a plumber or electrician?
Often both skills show up on one ticket. Leaking valves or new circuits push the job toward the complex tier.
