Bathroom remodel cost calculator
Price a bathroom remodel or a new bathroom for your size and state, and see how much of it you are likely to get back when you sell.
New tub and tile surround, vanity, toilet, tile floor, lighting, ventilation.
What decides the price
- Moving plumbing. Keeping the toilet, tub and sink where the drains already are saves thousands.
- Tile area. A floor-to-ceiling tiled shower is labor-intensive; tile setting is often the biggest labor line.
- The shower. A prefab tub surround costs a fraction of a custom tiled shower with frameless glass.
- Hidden damage. Rot under old tile or behind a leaking toilet appears once walls open. Hold 10–15% back.
Remodel or add?
If the house has one bathroom for three or more bedrooms, adding a half or full bath often matters more to buyers than polishing the existing one. Check for a closet or under-stair spot close to the existing stack: short drain runs keep an addition affordable.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a bathroom remodel cost?
A cosmetic update of a small bath often runs $8,000–$15,000, a midrange 5×7 ft remodel around $20,000–$32,000, and an upscale primary bath $60,000–$100,000+, depending on region.
What is the ROI of a bathroom remodel?
A midrange remodel typically recoups around three-quarters of its cost; an upscale remodel under half. Adding a bathroom recoups roughly half but can matter more in a one-bath home.
How much value does adding a bathroom add?
On average about half the construction cost, but going from one to two bathrooms can widen your buyer pool noticeably, because many buyers filter listings by bathroom count.
How much does a bathroom remodel increase home value?
On national planning figures a midrange remodel adds roughly $18,700 on a $25,300 spend, and an upscale one about $36,000 on $80,000. Use the calculator above for your size and state.
What is the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel?
