Bathroom Remodel Cost Estimator
Enter your bathroom's square footage, pick a quality tier, and check any big-ticket add-ons. You'll get an estimated total, a realistic low–high range, and your all-in cost per square foot — updated live, right in your browser.
📖 How it works & FAQWhat drives bathroom remodel costs
Most full bathroom remodels in the US land between $5,000 and $35,000, and the two numbers that matter most are size and finish level. Contractors and cost guides commonly price budget refreshes around $125 per square foot, mid-range remodels around $250, and high-end gut renovations at $400 or more. This calculator multiplies your bathroom's square footage by an editable per-square-foot rate, then layers on big-ticket add-ons that go beyond a standard like-for-like remodel — a walk-in shower conversion, relocated plumbing, heated floors. Everything runs instantly in your browser, and nothing you type is uploaded anywhere. These figures are planning estimates only, not a contractor quote or professional advice.
How to use it
- Enter your bathroom's size in square feet. A standard full bath is about 40 sq ft; a primary bath often runs 100 or more.
- Pick a quality tier — Budget, Mid-range, or High-end. The cost per square foot fills in automatically.
- Adjust the per-square-foot rate if you have local quotes or know your market runs higher or lower than the national averages.
- Check any add-ons that go beyond a standard swap-in-place remodel, like a tub-to-shower conversion or moving plumbing.
- Read the estimated total, the likely low–high range, and your all-in cost per square foot — they update live as you type.
FAQ
- What does the per-square-foot rate include?
- It represents a complete like-for-like remodel: demolition, standard fixtures, tile, waterproofing, paint, and labor. The add-on checkboxes cover upgrades that typically get quoted on top of that baseline.
- Why show a range instead of one number?
- Remodels routinely uncover surprises — hidden water damage, outdated wiring, subfloor rot — and labor rates vary sharply by region. The ±15% band gives you a realistic budgeting envelope rather than false precision.
- How can I lower the cost?
- Keep the existing layout so plumbing stays put, refinish the tub instead of replacing it, choose mid-range materials for tile & counters, and save splurges for one focal point like the vanity.
- Is my data private?
- Yes. The math runs entirely in your browser with no accounts, no server, and no data sent anywhere.
