How This Calculator Works
This full 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
Bathroom Size
$4,000 - $20,000A standard 5x8 bathroom (40 sq ft) costs far less than a 10x12 master bath (120 sq ft). Every additional square foot adds $150-$300 in materials and labor. Doubling the square footage roughly doubles the tile, flooring, and labor costs.
Plumbing Relocation
$1,500 - $8,000Keeping fixtures in their existing locations is the single biggest way to control costs. Moving a toilet just a few feet can add $1,500-$3,000 for new drain lines. Relocating the shower or adding a second sink can push plumbing costs to $8,000 or more.
Tile Selection and Coverage
$800 - $12,000Budget ceramic tile runs $1-$3 per sq ft while premium natural stone hits $15-$50 per sq ft before installation. Labor to set intricate mosaic patterns costs 2-3x more than straight-lay subway tile. Floor-to-ceiling tile in a shower enclosure adds $2,000-$5,000 versus a tiled wainscot.
Shower and Tub Choices
$500 - $12,000A prefab acrylic shower stall costs $500-$1,500 installed. A custom tile shower with a linear drain and frameless glass door runs $6,000-$14,000. A basic alcove tub costs $400-$900 while a freestanding soaking tub adds $1,500-$8,000 for the fixture alone.
Vanity and Countertop
$500 - $8,000A stock 36-inch vanity with laminate top costs $300-$600. A 60-inch custom floating vanity with quartz top runs $2,500-$6,000. Double vanities add $800-$3,000 over single vanity pricing. Vessel sinks and wall-mounted faucets add $300-$1,200 in fixtures and installation.
