Bathroom Remodel Cost Calculator: What Is It?

Bathroom remodel costs can vary widely, with some smaller renovations costing less than $3,000 and larger remodels costing $30,000 or more. Our bathroom remodel cost estimator aims to take some of the guesswork out of your own project by evaluating which parts of your bathroom you are redoing and then delivering the average price range for each of those elements along with an estimated project total.

How Do I Use the Calculator?

1. Scroll to the top of the page and click “Start Calculator.”
2. The estimator will first ask about which type of shower and/or tub you want in your remodel. Find your closest match and click “Add to Estimate.” Not including a shower or tub in your renovation? Simply click “Skip” instead.
3. Next, select the type of toilet you will need. Click “skip” if you will not be purchasing a new toilet for your bathroom.
4. Then, choose if you will be adding four-door base cabinets or a two-door vanity to your new bathroom. Again, click “skip” if this will not be part of your remodel.
5. You will then choose a new sink for your bathroom. Click “skip” if you are not planning to purchase a new sink for your remodel.
6. Finally, pick the kind of lighting you want to install in your bathroom along with accessories like towel bars and medicine cabinets.
7. Click “Review My Estimate” to see your personalized bathroom remodel cost range.

On your cost sheet page, you can enter your ZIP for more local pricing as well as edit or delete any of the selections you have made to see how it will change your project cost.

Your Total Estimated Project Cost Range

What Elements of a Bathroom Remodel Are Included in This Estimator?

Our bathroom remodel cost estimator includes the most common elements homeowners ask us for during a remodel.

1. Showers and tubs. We have included the most popular shower types and tub types to choose from, including shower/tub combos.
2. Toilet. Most homeowners choose to purchase a new toilet when they redo their bathroom. We included a floor-mounted option and a wall-mounted option; you can see the difference in cost and decide which fits best in your budget.
3. Cabinetry. If you are not changing the layout of your bathroom, you may be able to keep your existing cabinets and either paint or reface them to update their look. However, if you are changing the layout, have issues finding enough storage in your bathroom, or want a brand new cabinetry style, you will need to budget for cabinets. We included the two most common options homeowners ask for: a four-door base cabinet and a two-door vanity.
4. Sink. A new sink can either be dropped into your cabinet/vanity or can be purchased as a standalone element. We have included two of the most popular drop-in sink materials (porcelain and stainless steel) as well as the most commonly requested standalone sink style for half-baths and smaller bathrooms (pedestal).
5. Lighting. Two of the most popular lighting options for bathroom remodels are canopy style lights installed over the mirror and recessed lights installed throughout the bathroom. We have included both options in our calculator. We also included the option to add a heat lamp in case you live in a cold climate.
6. Accessories. There are several accessories homeowners consider “must-haves” during bathroom remodels, and we have done our best to include them all. You can choose to add a wall-mounted mirror, a towel bar, grab bars, and/or a medicine cabinet with a mirror to your estimate.

Are There Elements That Are Not Included?

One of the costs you may need to budget for that is not included here is flooring. Bathroom remodelers almost never demolish or replace floors, though there are exceptions. For this reason, the bath remodelers we work with do not provide data to us on flooring costs. Since we are unable to confidently estimate what this project element would cost, we chose not to include it in our calculator.

What Does the Average Bathroom Remodel Cost?

In 2025, homeowners spend $12,115 on average remodeling their bathroom. You can read all about what is included in that bathroom remodeling cost as well as read about average cost by bathroom size, style, and more by visiting our guide.

How Does the Bathroom Remodel Cost Estimator Work?

Our costs are sourced from an evolving algorithm that is then checked against the cost data the remodelers we work with provide to us. Here’s why we take this two-pronged approach:

1. Labor and material costs fluctuate. Our algorithm may sometimes spot price changes in the remodeling industry before our real-life project cost data is meaningfully shifted in either direction.
2. Bathroom remodels often have unexpected expenses. For example, during renovation you may find water damage or plumbing issues that need to be resolved. The contractors we work with report the actual project cost once the remodel is completed, which means the cost for surprise updates homeowners needed has already been accounted for. Checking real project costs against our algorithm helps us see what a remodel “should” cost versus what it actually costs.

Does the Bathroom Remodel Estimator Take Brands or Companies into Account?

No, this calculator does not take brands/companies into account yet. If there is a particular tub, shower, or other fixture that you are interested in, you may want to check out our brand reviews. We have in-depth reviews – along with cost data, where available – for some of the top brands/remodelers, including:

• You can read our Kohler bathroom remodel review, which includes average costs, as well as a review on their LuxStone shower system line.
• Check out our Jacuzzi bath remodel review along with our guide to how much a Jacuzzi bath remodel costs. If you are interested in the Jacuzzi one-day bathroom remodel, we have also reviewed that and gathered average cost data for it.
• American Standard. Our review of American Standard Bath review includes information on the average cost spent by homeowners.
• We have a comprehensive BathWraps review that will appeal to you if you’re looking for an efficient upgrade.
• BCI Acrylic. If you are looking for information on this brand’s showers, tubs, and walk-in tubs, we have it over in our BCI Acrylic review.

All of these and more are part of our Best Bathroom Remodeling Companies for 2025 list, which includes regional companies as well as national ones.
