Bathroom Remodeling Cost Calculator (2026)
Bathroom Remodeling typically costs between $1,496 and $3,542 for a fixtures-and-finishes refresh - sink, vanity, toilet, lighting, floor, and paint; a full bath with a shower/tub update runs toward the top of this range. Answer a few questions below for a number specific to your home and ZIP code.

How we calculate this
This is a cart, not a single product choice - select whichever fixtures, upgrades, or layout changes apply to your project (a shower or tub, sink and vanity, toilet, lighting, floors, paint, and more) and your estimate sums the real, independently-priced cost of each one.
This funnel has no home-size or room-area question, so floors and paint are priced from a real Craftsman rate scaled by an assumed typical bathroom floor area, not a measured one - see the caveat on those cards. Your ZIP code then applies a real regional cost factor to material and labor rates, not a generic "low, average, or high cost area" bucket.
Our pricing is built from a licensed national costbook (unit costs for materials and labor, priced line by line) plus real regional cost indices - not a market survey, and not a substitute for a contractor’s own quote.

What drives the cost
What's being changed
$171–$1,964
The single biggest driver: a light fixture swap and a shower-to-tub conversion are entirely different jobs, not points on one quality scale. See the cards above for every real item this covers - your total is the sum of whichever ones apply.
Bathroom size (floors & paint only)
$88–$269
This costbook doesn't price most fixtures by room size - a toilet or vanity costs the same regardless of the room around it. Floors and paint are the exception, both scaled by an assumed typical bathroom size since no funnel field measures your actual room.
Layout changes (wall moves)
$0–$455
Moving a wall costs the same regardless of which fixtures or finishes you also picked - priced as its own real line item, not a percentage added on top of the rest of your job. Covers wall-move labor only; see the caveat on that card for what it doesn't cover.
Plumbing & electrical relocation
Moving plumbing or electrical to support a layout change is real added cost this costbook doesn't price at the per-job scale a single bathroom implies - only whole-system replacement rates exist (e.g. a full-home repipe from galvanized to copper), not a per-fixture relocation rate. See the caveat on the Layout Change card above, and ask your contractor to quote this piece separately.
Tile (walls)
Ceramic tile material is sourced in this costbook, but no tile-setting labor rate exists anywhere in it - see the Tile Walls card above, which shows this as a contractor-quote item rather than a dollar figure we don't have.
Local labor rates
Enter your ZIP code above for real region-specific labor and material rates, not a generic "low, average, or high cost area" bucket.
