How This Calculator Works
This bathroom remodel cost calculator estimates your total project cost from four inputs: project size, quality tier, the options you select, and your location. It combines material and labor rates for your chosen tier, adds typical permit costs, then applies a regional cost multiplier so the estimate reflects pricing in your state.
Estimates use 2026 cost data cross-referenced from multiple industry sources. Treat the result as a planning range, not a quote. Your final price depends on your specific scope, material choices, and local contractor availability, so collect at least three itemized bids before you set a budget.
What Affects Your Full Bathroom Remodel Cost
Shower/Tub Choice
$200 - $15,000This is the single biggest cost swing in a bathroom remodel. A prefab fiberglass tub-shower combo runs $200-$800 installed. A custom tile walk-in shower with frameless glass door pushes $5,000-$15,000. If you can keep your existing tub and just refinish it for $300-$600, you save thousands compared to a full replacement.
Tile Selection
$0.50 - $35/sq ftBasic ceramic tile starts at $0.50-$2 per square foot for materials. Porcelain runs $3-$10. Natural stone like marble or travertine jumps to $15-$35 per square foot. For a typical 75 sq ft bathroom with floor and shower walls, tile costs alone can range from $500 to $5,000+ depending on your choice.
Vanity Quality
$300 - $3,800A stock vanity from a big-box store runs $300-$800 including the top. Semi-custom options with quartz or stone tops land at $800-$2,000. Fully custom vanities with premium countertops and undermount sinks push $2,000-$3,800. Double vanities in a master bath cost roughly 50-75% more than a single.
Plumbing Changes
$1,500 - $15,000Keeping fixtures in their current locations saves thousands. The moment you relocate a toilet, sink, or shower drain, you're looking at $1,500-$4,000 per fixture for new supply lines and drain routing. A full plumbing relayout in a master bath can hit $10,000-$15,000 in plumbing alone.
Bathroom Size
Varies by square footageA small half bath (35 sq ft) remodels for $2,500-$8,000. A standard full bath (75 sq ft) runs $6,500-$18,000. A large master bathroom (150-200 sq ft) with separate shower, tub, and double vanity can easily reach $25,000-$55,000. Cost per square foot generally ranges from $75 to $275.
