HOW TO USE IT

How to use the Bathroom Remodel Cost Calculator

  1. 1

    Measure the bathroom area in square feet.

  2. 2

    Choose the scope (refresh $50-$100/sq ft, full remodel $100-$250/sq ft).

  3. 3

    Add the fixture budget (toilet, vanity, shower) and review the total.

THE MATH

Remodel formula

Total cost = area × price per sq ft + fixtures

A bathroom budget has two parts: the work per square foot (demo, plumbing, tile, labor) and the fixtures (toilet, vanity, shower, accessories).

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

A 40 sq ft bathroom

40 sq ft × $100/sq ft + $3,500 in fixtures = $7,500.
