More details & estimating assumptions
Optional. Overrides all footprint deductions.
Optional. Replaces the three-wall calculation. Include only shower/tub tile walls; other bathroom walls are entered separately. With a niche, include its opening in this area; recessed-side tile is added separately.
Total count. Replaces the automatic count.

Rate assumptions for review

Trade rates and markups come from the existing calculator. Base/tub product allowances use linked online price examples. Confirm local labor, installation coverage and these percentages with your contractor before relying on the estimate.

The spread is a planning assumption, not a statistical accuracy claim. Profit is applied after overhead; it is a markup, not a margin.

What’s Updated in This Bathroom Remodel Cost Calculator?

The calculator now includes all 50 states and DC, separate options for a refresh, full remodel or shower/tub-only project, and wet-area measurements in feet and inches—including fractions. Start with Standard finish allowances or compare Upgraded and Premium options, add tiled bathroom walls or a shower niche, and keep your work range visible as you make selections. A full Primary remodel now starts with an editable 100 sq ft (10 × 10 ft) room, a shower plus a separate freestanding bathtub, a double vanity, two light points and an exhaust fan. Electrical installation allowances have been updated, including an optional outlet and switch update. The breakdown shows the calculated work separately from Bezruchuk’s $30,000 planning minimum for a complete full Primary remodel; this is our business starting budget, not a national market minimum. Change or remove items to match your project. The downloadable PDF includes both wet areas, itemized allowances and a separate contingency reserve.

Ranges are planning estimates only, not quotes. Final pricing depends on location, scope, selections and site conditions; your written proposal sets the price.

Choose your bathroom type, size, plumbing scope, electrical upgrades, finishes, and tile options, and the estimator instantly calculates
a planning work range using the selected scope and built-in allowances. Compare Standard, Upgraded and Premium finish allowances and review your contingency reserve separately.

Compare the full project: This tool totals selected work; it does not establish the price of a complete renovation or guarantee that every required task is included. Our 2026 bathroom remodel cost guide uses broad ranges of $18,000–$35,000 for standard full remodeling, $30,000–$60,000 for detailed work, and $55,000–$100,000+ for custom work or major layout changes. Full Puyallup renovations with Bezruchuk Inc. start around $24,000. Missing selections, local labor, repairs, permits and access can change the total.

This tool is designed for homeowners who want clarity before requesting a quote.
It helps you understand where costs come from, what upgrades impact the budget the most,
and whether your remodel is closer to a simple refresh or a full renovation.
Final pricing is always confirmed after an on-site walkthrough, but this calculator gives you a strong starting point.

How to Use This Bathroom Remodel Cost Calculator

1. Choose your state and starting scope. Select any of the 50 states, DC, or the U.S. reference. For a full remodel or refresh, enter the total room area. Bathroom types provide editable starting examples. A full Primary remodel starts with a larger 100 sq ft (10 × 10 ft) room, a shower plus a separate freestanding bathtub, a double vanity, two light points and an exhaust fan. Full-remodel presets also include an allowance to update bathroom outlets and switches at their existing locations. Use your actual measurements and change or remove any item; your edited choices are preserved when changing bathroom type. Refresh keeps selected wet areas, and shower/tub-only does not add a separate tub or room electrical work automatically. Shower/tub-only uses just the wet-area dimensions and excludes bathroom flooring, vanity, toilet, painting, patching and electrical work. Choose whether plumbing stays in place and select the wet area and finish level you want. Scope presets change the work selections; review them before comparing totals.

2. Match the work to your project. Choose tiled shower flooring, a prefab base or an alcove tub, with tiled walls or wall panels. Base/tub product allowances are included automatically by finish grade; choose “Enter my product price” to replace that range. Enter wet-area width, depth and tile height in feet and inches; decimal or fractional inches are accepted. Measure tub-wall tile height above the tub rim. With tiled wet walls, you can add one standard tiled storage niche; its insert, detailing and extra tile are itemized separately. For tile outside the shower/tub, select the additional wall option and enter the net area, excluding wet walls and openings. Measured floor and wet-wall overrides are under “More details.”

3. Review and download your estimate. The PDF includes your project summary, itemized work, budget range, contingency, state adjustment and assumptions. Add an optional project name and notes, then save it to review or print. Share it with a local contractor to confirm what is included.

For a complete full Primary remodel with the main wet area, separate bathtub, vanity, toilet, floor and demolition included, Bezruchuk uses a $30,000 planning minimum before tax and contingency. This is our business starting budget, not a national market minimum. The breakdown still shows the itemized modeled range; removing core work shows a selected-work estimate instead.

Contingency is a separate reserve. Sales/use tax and items without confirmed scope can add to the budget. For a separate shower and freestanding bathtub, select the shower and add the separate tub. Review its product allowance, filler, installation, rough-in and flooring choice. Structural changes, custom tub decks and specialty features require a project-specific estimate.

This nationwide planning tool combines existing Bezruchuk trade rates, researched base/tub product allowances and BLS construction wage data for state labor differences. It does not report average bathroom prices or provide a contractor bid. State averages cannot capture every city or site. Bezruchuk quote requests are available for its Washington and Ohio service areas.

Note: This bathroom remodel cost calculator provides a rough budget range, not a final contract price. Final costs are confirmed after an on-site walkthrough, measurements, and review of existing conditions. Reset restores the starting example with Standard finish allowances.

Bathroom Remodel Calculator FAQ

The calculator provides a preliminary planning range using your selected scope, measurements, product allowances and a state labor adjustment.

A small or guest bathroom remodel typically costs less than a primary bathroom, but pricing depends on layout changes, fixture quality, tile coverage, and electrical or plumbing upgrades. Use the calculator to see a personalized range based on your selections.

It shows the measured tile areas used in the breakdown rather than one cost-per-square-foot price for the entire remodel. Tile quantities, fixtures, trade work and selected allowances are calculated separately.

The updated calculator compares Standard, Upgraded and Premium finish allowances for the same work. Each finish level has a planning work range because final selections and site conditions can change the price. Your contingency reserve is shown separately.

Yes. This tool is ideal for homeowners who want a clear budget expectation before contacting contractors. It helps you decide what level of remodel fits your goals before scheduling an estimate.

Yes. Moving plumbing or electrical locations usually increases cost due to additional labor, rough-ins, and permits. The calculator adjusts automatically when layout changes are selected.

You can select any of the 50 states, DC or a U.S. reference. The calculator uses BLS construction wage data to adjust labor-related pricing. This state-level adjustment does not capture every city, contractor, delivery cost or permit requirement, so confirm pricing locally.

Yes. Open “More details & estimating assumptions” to enter measured floor or wet-wall tile areas, override the plumbing rough-in count, adjust material waste, and review planning spread, overhead and profit markup.
