THE MATH

Well pump replacement cost formula

Total = pump + depth × rate + plumbing + labor + removal

A submersible pump runs about $1,100 (1 HP) plus ~$2/ft of pipe. Add plumbing, pulling and installation labor, and old-pump disposal.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

Submersible 1 HP, 100 ft well, with plumbing

Pump = $1,100. Pipe = $200. Plumbing = $200. Labor = $800. Removal = $150. Total ≈ $2,450.
