Usage Tip

Splurge where you touch and see daily (vanity, faucet, tile) and save on the rest. Keeping fixtures in place avoids the most expensive plumbing work.

THE MATH
Base cost = Size (sq ft) × Cost per sq ft
Budget = Base × (1 + contingency%)
Labor is typically 40 to 65% of the total
Cost per square foot depends on finish level. 2026 ranges run roughly $80–$120 budget, $180–$280 mid-range, $300–$450 high-end, and $500+ for luxury or custom work.
Pick a tier to fill the rate, or type your own.
These are 2026 national planning figures; your area, the scope, and finish choices move them a lot — get itemized bids before committing.
The biggest cost drivers are moving plumbing or walls, tile labor, and fixture quality; keeping the existing layout cuts cost the most.
Add a contingency (10 to 20%) for surprises like water damage or dated wiring found during demo, plus permits and demolition.
